ID RT Frazier vintage saddle

[KathrynGiardiello]

My mother swears this is valuable, given to my family in the 1990’s from someone cleaning out a home in Mystic CT.

RT Frazier stamps all over it, very ornate with a high back which also includes an unusual pocket. “Patent App’d For” on both sides and  “187” written under flap (no idea how or when) Possibly unrelated, there is also what looks like a degraded Air Force sticker. Perhaps nothing to do with the saddle itself.

I am at a total loss for anything comparable online due the amount of detail.

Anyone know how I can date or place this? Would love to see it it’s one of the catalogs.Pics of saddle

Hey, Thanks for getting the pics over here. I know nothing about saddles but I like that one. I'll be waiting to learn more about it.

I don't really know anything either but think it's a good looking saddle.  I have an old RT Frazier but it is in a lot worse condition(think falling apart).
