Do I use them to line the chooks run or do they have any value??

Think this should be a few pics of the stirrup LIR. The ring things & buckles are held on with little hands. The spur is a sea creature.

Can't find anything about him as an artist but........

Ral Mynton born c.1871, Glamorgan & living Glamorgan 1911 (Census).

Sorry, can't tell you any more, rhiw. You'd need someone with access to the full Census to see what his occupation etc. was.

In 1891 he said he was born & living Llansamlet...... but I can find no Mynton, Minton or similar who might be him on any other Census. A mystery man :cool:
The only Mintons I can find around Llansamlet in 1870s are James Minton, forge foreman who had been born at Brynmawr, Breconshire & his wife was a Londoner. Their children were born at Llansamlet & Loughor. One was about the right age but was a William. However, a Ralph W Minton died in Glamorgan 1935 so ........ maybe?

Yes, course, they'll be spurs - shows how much I know about horsey stuff.

I was told by someone that it's Spanish probably. Only found the one. It's bronze apart from the actual spur wheel - which is iron I think.
