grumpyguy Report post Posted February 20, 2009 randyo7, Several months ago there was a thread on this topic, I'm sure if you check through the saddlery topics you can find it. It really is not possible to comeup with reasonable value for your saddle with the information you have provided. First off Billy Cook saddles were made by more than one maker. Those that seem to retain the most value are maked "Billy Cook Saddlery, Sulpher Springs, OK." These are manufactured by the Billy Cook Saddlery company, owned by Billy Cook himself. There are a number of models and types built by the Billy Cook Saddlery and others under that name. They make cutting, roping reining, barrel racing saddles to name just a few. The best way to get an accurate amount would be to contact saddlery dealers (preferably that deal in used as well as new saddlery) in your area and have them inspect your particular saddle. Getting a few quotes will help you get a better idea of what it's real value is. Area is important as local preferences can strongly affect the value.
