Description

Antique Hand-Forged Circular Branding Iron 42" Ranch Tool

Antique hand-forged livestock branding iron with a circular openwork brand head, likely late 19th or early 20th century. The design appears to be a simple circle or wagon-wheel style ranch mark, with segmented openings consistent with traditional hot-brand construction. The long forged shaft and loop handle reflect practical ranch use, while the rough hammer-forged texture and heavy age patina add strong Western and agricultural appeal. An authentic piece of ranching history that displays well in rustic, farmhouse, or cowboy collections.

Condition:
Good antique condition with heavy oxidation, surface rust, and pitting from age and use. Structurally solid overall, with no obvious major breaks visible in the photos.

Dimensions:
Overall: 42 inches long x 5 inch diameter
Weight: 3 lbs 13 oz
Shown beside a standard Campbell’s soup can for scale.
