zanzan710 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 I have this older saddle we got when we bought a horse around 1989 the guy said he had got it used back in the 1970's. I have been unable to find a brand mark the only thing I found is the numbers in picture. Could any one identify the brand and a rough guess of its age. I am looking to trade or sell it for a saddle that fits me just want to get what it is worth. Thank You. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted July 13, 2014 ZZ, not sure where you are from, but; if you are from the MI, OH, IND area, that saddle looks much like the skirt style and tooling of Jim Rice. Then again, it is very much like a lot of saddles made in the 50"s. I met Jim back in the late 90"s and he had been making saddles at that time for about 50 years. That is just a guess. With out some markings on it, unless someone has one exactly like it, and knows what it is, that's about as good as you can get. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
