Help To Identify Old Saddle

Recommended Posts

I have this older saddle we got when we bought a horse around 1989 the guy said he had got it used back in the 1970's. I have been unable to find a brand mark the only thing I found is the numbers in picture. Could any one identify the brand and a rough guess of its age. I am looking to trade or sell it for a saddle that fits me just want to get what it is worth. Thank You.

I have a Textan Hereford Brand Saddle with serial number 1033 552-21135 what do they represent? And would anyone know what the value might be. If not do you know were I could find out? Thanks

ZZ, not sure where you are from, but; if you are from the MI, OH, IND area, that saddle looks much like the skirt style and tooling of Jim Rice. Then again, it is very much like a lot of saddles made in the 50"s. I met Jim back in the late 90"s and he had been making saddles at that time for about 50 years. That is just a guess.

With out some markings on it, unless someone has one exactly like it, and knows what it is, that's about as good as you can get.

The TexTan numbers denote year it was made, month and model number.
