Most folks are familiar with Bohlin silverwork, whether they realize it or not. Edward Bohlin was the "Saddlemaker to the Stars", and that applied to his silversmithing abilities, too. His work was present in most of our favorite western movies.
His pieces were worn by the Lone Ranger, John Wayne, Tom Mix, Gene Autry, Hopalong Cassidy, The Cisco Kid, Roy Rogers, and a host of others. Those items included gun belts, spur straps, belt buckles, and scarf slides. Bohlin silver mounted saddles and tack adorned their 4 legged co-stars.
Even today, long after the death of Ed Bohlin himself, the products of the company he founded are individually hand formed, hand built, and hand engraved. The products are die struck, not cast, and are among the very few with certain features, such as rounded, contoured backs on the buckles to lift the buckle slightly and keep it from wearing the surface of the belt.
We have selected several different buckle sets to display here, which are those we normally have available from our inventory. This is only a representative selection, however. Please contact Seidel's Saddlery for further information.
The sizes referenced will fit belts of that uniform width, or belts which taper to that width on the ends.
