Billy Cook Saddle

[pipalfarms]

My husband and I both have Billy Cook Saddles. I have two questions. His is made in Sulphor OK (I think that's spelled right). Mine was made in Greenville (but no longhorn stamps on it). I googled the number on his and the number on mine. Mine is 901 on the latigo holder and 20 3392 on the skirting. His was easy to find information on (what it was, what it was intended for and all that). Mine won't bring up anything on google. It seems like it may be missing a number or something. I just wondered what kind of saddle it was, I'm kind of new to figuring out what they really are. We bought it from a friend who bought it for his daughter years ago and she used it like 5 times and it just sat from then on. How old it might be and how much it might be worth (not that I plan on selling it any time soon). So my first question is that. My second question is where did Billy Cook originally make saddles? Was it Greenville or OK?

Here is a thread some history on the Billy Cook saddles. Troy West's post part way down the first page has some good information in it. Don't know if it what you are looking for, but I hope it helps.

Thank you. I checked it out. It has some really great information. Answers my questions about where they originated. The one with the in-depth history was really neat.

Thanks so much
