Members Randy Cornelius Posted January 27, 2008 Members Report Posted January 27, 2008 Hi fellas, I just finished making my 2nd saddle and am now going to attempt to restore a McClellan saddle. There are some of the pieces missing like strap holders, ect and was wondering where I can find them. Another question is, How can I date the McClellan that I have? I am thinking it is a 1904 model but I showed it to my instructor on the last day of the saddle class and he kind of suggested that it was an older model of around 1893 or so. I know that the 1859s had no leather covering other than the skirts nailed or screwed on and the centerfire rigging, so it's not that old I know, but is there any way to ballpark an age on one? Karl Weaver Leather carries all the hardware for McClellan Saddles.
