BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted September 18, 2013 Last week I went to an estate sale, and low and behold I found an old slick fork saddle with very little milege on it. Really, almost new!! I got it for a customer of mine who is always bringing me worn out 40's and 50's saddles to clean up and repair so he can put them on display. This one has all the original components. Original sheep skin, strings, seat, stirrup leathers, really, everything and in almost unused condition. All I did was clean it up and oil it and it is ready to go. It is a custom made ,slick fork. High cantle, 6 string seat with stirrup leathers under the fenders, it has a oak leaf design tooled into it on the fork, horn,fenders and back of the cantle. It was made by J. Plantt of Bryan Texas. I would put it at about 1920 to 1930 date by the style of the tree and riging. Does anybody know anything about the maker? I would like to past any information I can onto my customer about it. Thanks ! Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
