After extensive digging through all I can find online, I'm at a loss as to what McClellan I've ended up with. As a live-long over of these saddles, I finally found one at an auction. It's in great shape, but does not appear to be a reproduction--but I can't be sure about this and am looking...

I have an old youth western saddle, marked "Ruby Lee, Red Bluff, Calif." that I'm trying to date and price. I believe it was made by Louie Minglero, but know nothing else.

Back in 1988 when I was 6, my dad purchased this saddle for me second hand even though I didn't have a horse and could only take lessons sporadically. As you can imagine, I was quite the happy kiddo!
