    Description

    Talk about cool, real deal, heavy, old stuff.
    This is an antique lasso I acquired during a trip to a large cattle ranch in Brasil's Pantanal region in 2000.
    The lasso is made of impeccably woven leather - all worn in after decades of use - and an awesome iron hondo.
    The pantaneiro who sold this to me was in charge of more than 100,000 heads of cattle and was preparaing for retirement. He'd used this lasso for more than 30 years so this dates to about 50 years ago at the least.
    Tightly wound, it measures about 14" in diameter and weighs about 2.8 lbs.
    TOTAL LENGTH WHEN UNWOUND IS APPROXIMATELY 53 FEET. (3 inches of that is the diameter of the hondo.)
    For the serious collector, this is a beautiful piece for your wall.
    Serious offers, only, please.
    Thank you.
