VINTAGE EARLY ORIGINAL TED FLOWERS SADDLE WITH A RARE “THE SPOT SHOP ALEXANDRIA INDIANA” EMBLEM. Note: This is also being offered for sale locally. Comes with what I believe are two different breast collars; one personalized with “WILDFIRE”. I do know that it has been sitting on display in a lodge for a minimum of 12 years but possibly up to 20 or more years. I no nothing about horses or tack but will try to answer any questions you may have. The saddle needs cleaned and should probably be restored. I suppose it could be museum worthy for historical display purposes and could be displayed as is. The seat measures 14.5 (measured with rigid tape measure from base of horn to back of seat where leather ends and the silver begins). Some black leather areas are worn to brown. It is missing 1 of the square horsehead Conchos (at the top of one of the six decorative silver embellished drops) and some smaller pieces of silver also missing on the drops (1 rectangle wrap around and one or two tips at ends of drops). Some of the silver is bent and most notably dented are the ends of the swell/fork. There is some rust and tarnish. Some leather is worn and some strapping is stiff. The metal strap buckles above the stirrup section each have a single boat Anchor marking on the back which I believe are North & Judd Manufacturing or Anchor Brand and may point to the saddle being very early and possibly an L. I will include at no additional charge the stand you see pictured. I welcome any questions you may have so please message me. RARE RELIC, GREAT COLLECTIBLE!

Heavy working-saddle construction consistent with WWII-era production. Leather shows age and use but retains strong character.
