#39 S Shank Solid Low port

This is a simple, traditional S-shank curb bit built for everyday use rather than ornamentation. It carries no maker’s mark and follows the classic S-shank profile seen in many mid-century and later production bits. The metal is lightweight compared to premium makers, giving it a practical feel suited to basic training, tune-ups, or as a spare bit in any working tack room.

The solid low port offers mild tongue relief while maintaining steady bar contact. This style is commonly used for horses that go best in a straightforward curb with minimal complexity. The bit shows age, oxidation, and honest use, but remains structurally sound and fully functional.

Though not a collectible maker piece, it is a dependable, uncomplicated curb with a long history of utility throughout ranch, rodeo, and schooling environments. A good option for riders who want a lightweight, traditional feel at an accessible price.
