I remember looking through that wish book circling items and folding the corners of the pages. Santa clause must have looked at it to see what I wanted for Christmas too. I too did that.

Yes, those saddles are now collectors items, if they're in decent shape. Some are still in business, like Miles City , Hamley, etc. My Hamley , 1923 form fitter , served me well riding absolutely everyone, regardless of size or weight. The only thing is that those old saddles are so heavy. A cowboy paying $ 10-20 dollars for a saddle back then took up a lot of paychecks ...but they had a lifelong investment.

He wanted to buy it from her when she went to.pick it up, said whoever built it " knew their business". Been out in our barn since... Next to an OLD McClellan.
