I just acquired this beautiful old Ellis Saddle.
I do not know the name of the tooling - can anyone help me with this? There are pictures attached.
I also don't know anything about the silver. Is it original? Who made Ellis Saddlery's silver?
The saddle will be turned over to Dave Thornbury for restoration - I know that when it's done it will be a stunner.
ANY information would be VERY helpful - I'm a stone's throw away from Silver King and Dave Thornbury - so the good news is that the restoration will be 100% Correct!
Thank you all for this amazing website and all the resources here.
Susan
