From My collection- Engraved silver inlayed spade bit. Pictured in the August Buermann catalog #398. Dates to about 1880-90. The spade bit is a historic vaquero design with straight, highly decorated shanks and a mouthpiece that includes a straight bar, a narrow port with a cricket, and a spoon, a flat, partly rounded plate affixed above the port, supported by braces on either side. Not all horses have the temperament to become a spade bit horse, a process that is seldom complete until a horse has abour five years of training.
