This is an old saddle. No rivets are visible on this saddle so cannot identify that way. I believe it is an old Bona Allen saddle. Everything on it is original except the latigo which I added after buying it. The latigo keeper has 3 sets of numbers on it. the number 5, a set of numbers 1229 and then in larger numbers 3948. I know it is a 15" seat and a 6" gullet. It has old brass "D" rings and wooden stirrups. The stirrup straps are laced and not buckled.

higgins stopped making saddles for sears in 1935 after that they were made by the bona allen saddle company under the J.C. Higgins brand untill 1968 when they were bought out by tandy leather corporation.

Check with the Bona Allen Museum in Buford, GA. I got enough information from them on mine to identify it as a Bona Allen Saddle that was made between 1930 and 1940.
