bruce johnson Report post Posted December 8, 2009 I have question about the Dale Martin saddles after Equibrand took over. I have a relative looking at one with the Greenville stamp on the carrier and cantle back. The seat plate says "Martin Saddlery". It is supposed to be 5 years old, and memory is kind of telling me that is right about when Equibrand bought them. Does anybody know how the newer ones are marked?

Traveller Report post Posted April 16, 2010 Did anyone ever get back to you about this, Bruce? I've got a Dale Martin saddle for sale and I believe it's 5 or 6 years old, built before he sold his saddlery. There's only one stamp on my saddle, and this is what it looks like: I'm not sure whether that helps, but maybe restarting this thread will jog some memories! They're good saddles, I believe.

Traveller Report post Posted April 18, 2010 It turns out that there's a leather stamp on the back of the cantle, too. Anyone know if the stamps changed when Martin sold? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwwright Report post Posted April 18, 2010 I think that the saddles produced when D Martin owned the company were marked Dale Martin. After Equi Brand purchased them, the Martin Saddlery mark to over. JW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traveller Report post Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks, JD. I should probably send my photo to Martin Saddlery to see what they have to say. I'll report back! Joanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
