This vintage hand hitched horsehair quirt with an integrated leather popper is a unique and handmade collectible piece from the Western Americana culture of the 1960s-80s. This item, although its ownership history is not available, showcases the traditional craftsmanship and design of the era, making it a valuable addition to any collection of antique Western artifacts.This fine-gauged multi-colored quirt features crisp black, turquoise, cream, red/coral diamond geometric patterns. The white horsehair tassel remains bright white, and the leather popper still holds a supple rustic finish. The piece carries complex stitch-by-stitch hitching all the way down the shaft to the keeper loop. The specific shade, tone, and structure are classic hallmarks of Western prison-hitching from the post 1960s era.This 32" quirt was purchased in the 1980's at the National Bit, Spur & Saddle Collectors Association (NBSSCA) show in Loveland, Colorado. The quirt is in excellent to near-mint condition. The hitching tension is uniform, patterns remain sharp and aligned, colors show zero fading, and the leather popper appears unused, with clean, uncraked edges.See photos for details.
