(Left) Wonderful Edward H. Bohlin, black, fully floral carved child’s saddle. The Hexagon model, circa late 1940s to early 1950s, it is a perfectly proportioned silver mounted pony saddle with 2 ½” cantle, 12” seat, sterling Bohlin seat plate and Bohlinmade oval cartouche under the Indian head pelican horn. 18” tapaderos with engraved silver caps, plus 100-percent original, fully matching bridle, bit and breast collar. Includes black and white Bohlin corona. Rare and highly collectable. Includes custom saddle stand.

(Center) A Fine Silver Mounted Maximilian Period Charro Saddle. Incredible silver mounted Mexican saddle, circa 1860. The huge and impressive 8 1/2" silver repousse horn with flowering basket and rope edge leads to the 12" seat and the silver bound cantle. Lion head decoration and ring holders along the side, silver covered stirrups, bindings and rigging rings. The saddle was brought to Europe by a French officer after the defeat at the Siege of Queretaro in 1867. It was this battle that ultimately led to the end of Maximilian’s rule and his life.

(Right) L.D. Stone Salesman's Sample-Size Saddle. Remarkably rare (the only one we have ever seen), maker-marked salesman sample-size saddle. A true half-scale saddle, with 7 ½” seat, circa 1890. Floral and leaf tooled on jockeys, skirts, and fenders. "L.D. Stone & Co. / San Francisco" mark on each fender. Basket stamped on the front and back of the 2" cantle. The stirrup leathers are chain stamped. Sam Stagg rigging, exposed rawhide horn with red pigment, 7 1/2" lined tapaderos over leather covered stirrups. 12" braided horsehair cinch with iron rings. An amazing find on so many levels, and probably the only one in existence. Includes custom stand.
