Hello, I just got this saddle in and would really like some info on it, such as age, and does anyone recognize the makers mark. It has the makers mark on both fenders. The original hardware seems to be brass (minus conchos) Has a 15" seat and supposedly an association tree. Makers mark reads A., C or S,U,L,L, possible E, then last letter of name seems to be an R. At the bottom, it reads Saddlery. Thank you for any help you can offer me.

If you could post a large picture of the stamp that would help. The link is ridiculously small and I can't make out anything.

Could It be A Cullen instead of Culler

Laura,

The swells look more to me along the lines of Crosby or Campbell roper type tree. Not really an Association pattern. The low cantle and narrower Cheyenne roll suggests 1940s style, but that could go either way. I think I am seeing Al-Ray stirrup buckles. I am not sure how long they have been around, but know for sure they were around in at least the early 40s. I am striking out trying to match up any of the potential letter combinations on the worn makers stamp. At least the saddle and fender tooling matches. The fenders weren't scabbed off another saddle. The tooling pattern is pretty basic, and that style was used in several areas of the country. No real help there either. Sorry we aren't pinning down the maker for you. I have some feelers out, but nothing ringing any bells yet.
