Legendary but short-lived, the Cheyenne, Wyoming partnership of Bill Phillips and Raphael (Filo) Gutierrez, lasting from 1917-1918. Filo was the master engraver whose career stretched over 50 years comprising many of the finest California style bit and spur makers, including Gus Goldberg, G S Garcia, and Juan Estrada. Phillips & Gutierrez also sold their limited production through Frank Olzer's Arizona Saddlery, and Cheyenne's Blake Miller. After the partnership ended, Filo returned to the San Francisco Bay Area while Bill Phillips remained in Cheyenne and continued making bits and spurs while doing other saddlery related work
