1905 Fred Mantey Grand Junction CO HighBack Western cowboy Saddle All hand Tool

Before offerding - please use the ENLARGE function on ALL the pictures - examine every detail and ask any and all questions before offerding as this is an absolute FINAL SALE of a @ 110-115 year old item with obvious issues.

Fred Mantey is a well-known name in western Colorado for saddlery and leather work in the late 1800s and early 1900s............This is a 14\" seat high-back all-around cowboy saddle, with lots of decoratives and some unique hand tooled leather. The Fenders show a bronc rider waving his hat while the horse is reared-up and a lady standing watching - my pix did not capture it as well as does the naked eye. The saddle is generally supple and the original fleece lining is in tact . The stirrups have been removed.........in my unprofessional opinion, the saddle, despite plenty of evidence of wear , use, and age could be ridden again. It would need some straps and maybe a stitch or 3 resecured and further conditioning of the leather. The tree is sound , the horn is exposed metal, and the saddle is surprisingly \"tight\" all things considered

It may best be suited for cosmetic attention and used as a nice example of @ 115 year saddle making, as a display saddle - YOUR CALL
