cgleather Report post Posted October 23, 2011 Just added these to my collection today. These were once owned by Chas E Collins a saddle maker here in Arizona. Mr. Collins was born in Texas in 1879 and moved to Arizona when he was 15. He worked for many of the large Saddle shops before opening his own shop in 1914. His shop remained open until 1956. Mr Collins passed away in 1962. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had a lot of colorful history. Yes he did. I wish I could have met him. Some of my Chap pattrens were taken off of old pattrens of his that a friend of mine still has. They are made out of paper more like file folder stock. that leather ws shipped in, one had a way bill dated 1916 on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
