5" A. Tietjen Silver San Joaquin Vintage Curb
5" A. Tietjen Silver San Joaquin Vintage Curb
Here is a stunning bit, one that would be perfect for the show ring or to add to your vintage silver bit collection. Made by famed bit and silversmith Al (A.) Tietjen, likely made early in his career, but after he moved to Reno, NV (likely before 1950), as this one is not marked with a date like the later ones he built. Stamped A. Tietjen, with fully engraved silver shanks with a ton of detail. Has the popular, upward swept mouth in the San Joaquin style, with an open port with copper roller. Port measures 2.5" from the base of the mouth. Mouth measures 5"and has 8" shanks. Engraved on the bit stabilizer bar. This bit, while used, is in brilliant condition. Only use to note is some rust on the rein chains.
A. Tietjan bits are a staple among bit collectors. These bits are well made, brilliantly balanced, and last a life time.
