Bobby, Thanks for looking and commenting! I compressed the photos when I emailed them from my phone. I will see if I can get better pictures. Maybe this evening before I can though.

Hi, I signed up for the forum to try and find some information on an old saddle that I found in an old barn belonging to my step grandfather's family. I'm not a leatherworker, but have two daughters that ride English and I definitely appreciate the craft. My two girls are eager to clean the old saddle, but I'm hesitant to do anything to it until we are able to identify it. So pointers on cleaning and potential restoration as well as identification would definitely be appreciated. I believe that the saddle is a McClellan and I would think it is from the 1900s. However, after searching online, I can't seem to pinpoint the age of the saddle. I've uploaded a few pictures of the saddle. Does anyone here have any ideas? Thanks in advance! Emy
