oldtimer Report post Posted February 14, 2009 I have read many articles in The Leathercrafters & saddlers Journal on restoring old saddles. They are written by mr Richard L. Sherer, Sherer Custom saddles Inc. in Colorado. You might give him a call ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please take a look at the saddle shots and tell me what you think. http://s323.photobucket.com/albums/nn457/i...Wyeth%20Saddle/ Since I would need to ship it from the East Coast, I would like to get an idea of repair costs.

fred3777 Report post Posted March 1, 2009 It just depends on what you want to do with this when it is finished. Are you going to ride it? Display? etc... But to put it in useable condition it needs stirrup leathers, Most likely fleeced with new strings, The quilted seat looks pretty good. It is a rough out so it is going to be dark in color for the most part, (just goes with age and use). I would have to guess on shipping, but about 75-100 to ship to me. Stirrup leathers, fleeeced with strings, clean and oil, check out the rest of saddle, ship back to you would be approximately, $550-600. let me know if you want me to do this. fred 775-232-4809.
