Branding Iron Primitive Drawn Iron Possible Hoof Track Symbol California

Here is a nice primitive wrought iron branding iron possibly representative of a Hoof or Horse Track symbol. Early 20th century California provenance most likely forged on the ranch. This iron has a lot of character (patina) including rust, rust, and more rust.  Also a rather sophisticated end loop for hanging. See the photos.30" overall length. Obviously used for thousands of brandings and probably discarded as "worn out," but now ready for its second life: Man Cave? Garden Art? Emergency Golf Club?  You'll figure it out!

COWBOY STUFF

(MY ORIGINAL STORE SHOP AKA, NEW MEXICO STUFF)

When I first opened Portland Pandemonium I was having a love affair with New Mexico and had accumulated a bunch of odd-ball and quirky stuff from that Land of Enchantment.  At that point, downsizing my estate and sharing my goodies with the world was my main commitment, and New Mexico seemed like a good place to start. As time went on and I sold all of my original New Mexico-specific things and discovered I needed to expand my inventory to include a broader category of goods that reflected life in the West and Southwest. As we filled the shop with western things it seemed best to rename that shop department "Cowboy Things" since that was what we were finding here and there. I still love New Mexico and you will find plenty of quirky things in store here from NM (including lovely Route 66 maps from the 40's 50's and 60's).

So buckle up for your trip motoring West, and get hip to this kindly tip: Get Your (Cowboy) Kicks on Route 66 and drop by our ranch to see what's on offer these days:
