Antique Branding Irons

Cisco’s Gallery offers a collection of antique Western branding irons associated with ranches and cattle operations throughout the American West. Used to permanently identify livestock, branding irons were commonly hand-forged in distinctive letters, numbers, symbols and combinations registered to individual ranches or owners. The collection includes 19th- and early 20th-century cattle brands ranging from simple working irons to examples with documented ranch or regional provenance.
