Cowboy. The word means something different to every person you encounter. The cowboy hat is an iconic symbol of the Cowboy and Cowgirl. Many people have worn one, and the cowboy hat has been proven to hold a large cultural significance in the legends of the Wild West in our American history. The Western way of life is lived. It is envied. It is bold. And it is PROUD. You can expect grace, sincerity, and respect if a cowboy takes his hat off to greet you. The cowboy is bonded to his hat and the legacy it brings; it is a piece of them. It is an iconic symbol of who he is. A cowboy.
A Story Told In Silver. This is the story of one of our favorite pieces, the cowboy toothpick. A toothpick may seem so minimal to most. We grab one, pick our teeth, and toss it away, although many cowboys keep one tucked in their hat band. This new cowboy toothpick…can stay with us forever. Like the iconic cowboy hat, it becomes a part of the cowboy or cowgirl. It begins to tell a story. “This cowboy toothpick, with my family brand, was given to me on my wedding day by my mother, always to remember where I came from.” “My grandma instilled in me a deep love of Jesus and helped me begin my journey to salvation as a sinner who needed to be saved. She had this cowboy toothpick made for me and gave it to me on the day I was baptized in the water in front of my closest friends and family.” “This cowboy toothpick? You want to know where it came from? My uncle gave it to me as a graduation gift, and I’ve carried it with me to war overseas and back. Sometimes, it was the only thing that helped me feel close to my family during that time. Life was different for me then, and it reminds me of who I was and who I am today. It is special.”
Frontier culture has definitely changed throughout history, but some things have stayed the same. Those living the cowboy lifestyle represent hard work, soft hearts, tender care, and genuine souls. Our cowboy toothpicks can stand up to the daily hard work of a cowboy or cowgirl but also show genuine care by personalizing them to your liking. Make it personal. Keep one for yourself or give it as a gift to someone you love. Either way, let us help you tell your story, A Story Told In Silver.
