PORTER SADDLE AUTHENTICATION

[Cliffrose]

That is an N. Porter (or Newton Porter).  He was a very well known saddle maker and his saddles are collectable to the right people.  Try running your search again with the right name and you will come up with lots of history!

 

I would like to see what the stamp says above the Porter stamp.  Porter made a couple types of 'specialty' saddles like the "Toots Mansfield" calf roper.  They had an additional stamp on them.  I cant tell what yours says...

I like Skidmore's Leather Cream for cleaning and conditioning.

Thank you  for the cleaning advice Cliffrose. The stamp say Port Parker Trademark. I couldn't get additional photos to post so I will try again. The fleece is completely gone on the saddle so it would

probably be to costly to fix.

Hi BNP, I also have a Porter saddle that my stepfather gave me in 2014. He passed away in 2019. I am not sure when or where he purchased it, but he used it for years working cattle. His name was Joaquin Medeiros and he lived in the Central Valley of California. The saddle number is 26476. I find it amazing that you have the cards for each saddle ever made.  I am interested in seeing the card for this saddle. Is that something you can post for me?

I'm looking for information on my father's saddle. It's a N. Porter saddle serial number 15582 stamped into a skirt piece. There is also a metal plate at the back of the saddle that says Janss investment Corp 474. 

What can you tell me about it?

I received a N. Porter saddle from my mom and would love some information. Serial # 13723

I posted about this saddle on another thread before I found this one.    I am a bit deeper into cleaning it and have more info now.     Please add to your list  of ones to look up next time.    It is a Trademarked Port Parker.     It’s number on the near side skirt is:  26288.        I will try and attach some pictures.     The cantle has a brand CW on it and then a name across the Cheyanne Roll that I think says WENDELL but I am not a hundred percent sure on that.

Thank you very much!
