Authentic, very old hand forged branding iron. Purchased at an estate sale in Tucson, Az. This primitive, antique, 22” cattle/horse branding iron has an unusual pattern. It may be an “S” or a “broken T”. The brand measures 2 1/2” x 1”. The overall length is 22”. It appears to have been used a lot. The iron is distorted from heat and extensive use. The handle is slightly bent and twisted from use. See photos.
