Lookout Diamond L Saddle

[The Farmers Daughter]

I just picked up a real nice saddle at auction. Its a 15 inch roper by Lookout Saddlery.

It has unique embellished D's and a super comfortable seat with a narrow twist and a deep pocket.

The latigo holder says Lookout saddlery with a L inside a diamond shape.

Appreciate any information. I am not familiar with this maker.

Thanks all.

Helloooo? Anybody?

Pics don't show a lot but from what I'm seeing this is a factory saddle of moderate value. The leather on the fender looks like lit was taken from a less desirable part of the hide. I suspect the Lookout name is the shop that sold it. The factories often withheld identifying marks if a saddle wasn't quite up to snuff. The retailer would get a good deal and add his own stamps.
