harrishorsemanship Report post Posted December 10, 2015 I have an older Heiser Denver saddle that I used as my first saddle as a youth from an old cowboy who used it as his saddle for a long time. I want to repair it and pass it down to my son to use. I'm looking for info on it such as type/style, year, model/number, and price if possible. I think it might be some type of bear-trap due to the swells and cantle. I think the seat is 14". Thank you Geoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted December 10, 2015 That's a nice old saddle, with a little tender loving care, it will be a nice piece of history. Judging by the rigging, horn covering, and stirrup leathers I would guess late 30's, maybe early 40's for age. By that I mean, stirrup leathers come out from under the seat jockeys, but; over the fenders, also that style of horn covering went away in the late 30's. Any earlier and I would expect to see laced leathers, and they would be exposed at the top of the tree. That is just a guess though since I wasn't around then. The numbers could possibly be of assistance to someone that knows/has access to the production records for Heiser. They may chime in here. Hope that helps.
