Need Help With Saddle Identification
niftytack replied to niftytack's topic in Saddle Identification, Restoration & Repair
the stitching looks sloppy so that's what made me thing it was done at a later date any way to tell how old the felt is? -
I have this old saddle I found its in pretty good shape the leather is really nice and soft for its age. But I've looked everywhere on the saddle for a maker stamps and come up empty I have two places where there are number stamps so far in my research I have found out that is was made in the 1940's. With the swells being something I've yet to see on any other saddle I would hope that would be something that would help identify it. I would like to restore it and would like to know what it looked like so I can get it to original as possible. It appears that is was re-fleeced with felt and I'm pretty cretin the leathers were replaced and I would like to see what is the best way to finish them as this leather is in need of replacing. give me your thoughts guys

I'm looking for a place besides weaver to buy hand sewing needles. I need curved ones in various sizes Weaver only has 2 sizes Im hoping to find some small for those hard to reach areas. anyone know where to look? Thanks

I'd sure like to get it sold I really don't want to put it on ebay but if people are looking that's where they go to, not that much interest here on the forums so far.

I was watching that one to. Mine is not a long arm, im not sure I would get anything close to that price.That is why I was asking people that have been in the business for a long time. what they thought.

Looking For Info On A Sewing Machine
niftytack replied to niftytack's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Wow, I thought its has to be worth something it's near perfect shape for its age, its always been indoors in ac for as long as I have known it. If I recall its been the the family for over 20 years now. I got a quoit form a sewing machine repair man and he said it was only worth $100.00 funny thing is when he worked on it he said the opposite! I guess he forgot that he put that new servo motor on it that was $200 at the time. I could get more than that at a scrap yard for the metal. I hate to sell it but I need to make room for my new machine I have sold my other machine and looking to house only one machine due to the lack of room in my shop and its only me working. Any one interested please contact me, I don't know where else to advertise it. Thanks guys -
