I can never remember if these are bolo ties or bola ties *L* Anyway, was looking for something to wear with my cowboy outfit for Halloween and stumbled across these two ties. Now I just have to decide which matches my outfit more. Don't think I've showed them here before so here ya go. Thanks for looking....Mel

A tumbled Coyamito Agate eye on a deer horn crown I scrounged from my dad's old taxidermy shop.

Hornitos Jasper from a piece of the old Flora find I got off my neighbor at the ranch across the road from our place. His dad was a gold miner and removed a single pod of this jasper that weighed over 2 tons back in the 60's and it sold for 50 cents a pound back then. Wow! Those were the days!

They are both really fantastic... Steve

I think a bolo tie is for a man, and a bola tie is for a woman. I could be wrong ... it's happened before.

*LOL* OK don't know if the whole cowboy rig is gonna work after all. Just got out my fancy boots to polish them and man do they smell like horse! I mean really smell!!!! Now I know why the the time I got in a limo with them on the driver was giving me a funny look. I thought I smelled something a little horsey but my nose was bad cause I was getting a cold. My nose is just fine now and whoo eeee do those boots reek of horse sweat. Kinda like the smell myself but I guess I need to get out the Febreeze and give it a try cause those puppies smell like a horse what's been rode hard and put away wet!!!!.....Mel

Bola it is and I had no idea these were a fairly recent invention. I shoulda known better as a blade hobbiest as a bolo is a type of knife....Mel
