Thank You for the replies, (Roo4u) I was also thinking that this was a 50th anniversary saddle also, But havnt found any others like it/ info/pictures or write ups on it. Iv seen American 50th anniversary saddles and they are differnt, and Mine has a nicer horn cap buckle . American ones have a carved floral plate horn cap. Also mines numbered! No.36 ? like how many where there? 36 a model number? number on line like #36 out of #50? Could it be my missing serial number? haha Has me puzzled. (Dirtclod) Yes I agree, Just this saddles alot more dressed up to be a roper I thought, even for its day. I checked the buckles and rivitts on the Belvins and all is good, but noticed one post was a bit weak, nice little weld will do er. I now have a question , Im wanting to know what would be the best thing for this leather right now, I cleaned it up, and used Leather CPR, did a fine job, but i kinda think it could use a good soaking ?( be a good idea or no?) and if so best brands, and kinds? This saddles been well looked after , but for the last 4 or so years be sitting out in a dusty barn. Thank Ray

Hello Everyone, Im new to the form and this is my 1st post. My post is about my saddle I just bought yesterday, Its a Vintage Tex Tan, Has no serial numbers anywhere, Iv been searching on google and the different locations where it could be ,and there is none! This saddle is different than any old Tex Tans. Its a show type but with real D Rings on the back for the rear cinch it also has a double skirt and well as many extras for its day! I just love this saddle. Trees in perfect shape and over all a awesome find! On the horn there is a "50 No.36 " badge , and ill will attach pictures as well. Hope to hear from anyone with comment and any info others might have, I have contacted Tex Tan about this saddle, and waiting to hear back, in the meantime I will update any info I find, This is a great collectors saddle and i plan to clean it today. Also others with Vintage Tex Tans are welcome to use this thread with there saddles, Look forward to hearing from you all, Ray After a cleaning: Matching Rear Cinch (uncleaned)
