If you can get me the serial number on the back of the cantle I'll forward it to a guy who can probably pin it down a lot more.

I heard back from him -

Bruce,
Lower number is WW1 era, larger number is about 1930. Obviously 30451 and 30452 are sequential. The B at the end of the number indicates a multiple order, in this case 2 or more pairs of chaps. When a number of trophy saddles were ordered by a rodeo committee, for example, they were given one serial number and A,B, C etc. Chaps had the serial number on the inside of the belt, usually on both sides in the 30s and later. Earlier, WW1 era, the maker's stamps with serial numbers were on the outside front of the belts.
