Santa Susannah Embossed Steel Shank Frog Mouthpiece Western Roller Curb Bit

This is a beautiful vintage embossed steel Santa Susannah shank frog roller curb mouthpiece bit.  This is a style that was very popular in the show ring in the 1970's.  This is a very well made steel bit with a 3/4 inch diameter x 5 inch medium wide frog roller mouthpiece that measures 1-3/4 inches tall by 2-1/4 inches wide.  This is a pre owned bit and shows some light rusting and corrosion from age and use which is typical of steel bits.  There are rings at the bottom of the bit for tie chains which are not present, but can be added if desired.

The shanks measure 7-1/2 inches long with a 3 inch purchase for a 2.5 to 1 leverage ratio and weighs a substantial 20 ounces making it a bit for a finished horse that needs some control and likes some weight to the bit.  This stunning bit will make a great addition to your show bit collection and will look great in any show ring setting.
