T M Lumly Saddle?

Recommended Posts

Hello! First time poster here! Long time lurker!

I buy, sell and trade tack. I got this saddle as a trade and figured that I would give it a shot. The leather is beautiful, lots of really nice tooling. This thing is MONSTER heavy.

Its a 15" seat, looks to be SQHB saddle marked "T M Lumly Maker Cushing OK"

Does anyone have any information on this saddle or maker?

Interesting history here in the "Old COwboy Saddles and Spurs" book. 7th edition.

"T.M. Lumley, Cushing, OK 1920-40. He moved to Medicine Lodge, KS & married Bess Read. She did much of the tooling and stamping. TM died in December of 1951. Bess continued the business for many years. She died at age 100, Feb 25, 1994."
