Bull Head

[Squirrel322]

Anyone got an ID for this bull head? There is nothing to the back, just the void from it being stamped-out.

Cattleman's paper weight!

Thats a decent guess Reanm8er but it is not heavy enough. I would guess its a pin of some kind but could be something else.....

I'm just hoping someone might have seen one of these before and be able to give an ID.

What metal is it? Almost looks Mesopotamian...lol I don't believe it is..haha

 

[Squirrel322]

Based on the patina and how it rang up I believe its copper.

Here is a photo of the back -

You just might have a banner find! Is their a college around close to you? They should know...cool piece!

Bolo.. I see ( I think ) that it may have attached between the horns to something?

Looks like it's sand cast.

LOL a banner would be cool but I have my doubts. There is a local college but there is no association with bulls....

There is a small spot there I noticed also. I'm not certain about that however it would be a logical place for something to be attached.

Probably not, but the size would be about right...can't find the (Mesopotamian) one, but there are a few online...mostly Buffalo instead of a bull.

Just for reference:

Pretty sure its stamped out.

Wow, that does look like it!

I really thought it was earlier than the 1970's.......

Thanks for the ID!

Nice find! This is the mount of the belt buckle. I found similar last season. The buckle itself was silver one. The mount was brass one. If you need I can find the pictures. Try google Taxes cowboys buckles and they will show up.
