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!

Lovely 16 Very Rare Ted Flowers Horse Head Conchos, Deer Head Carved Parade saddle, and breastplate. The leather is in good condition, and pliable throughout. There are areas of wear on the straps that attach to the breastplate, and the single buckle stirrup leathers have been lengthened. The flash has caused places on the saddle to appear brown. They are very faint.. The seat, however, is brown. A beautiful stag head has been carved into the jockeys, and both tapaderos. The head is still quite distinct. I believe this to be a rare find, I have looked everywhere I could think of, and have not found photos of another. The tapaderos are long, and well decorated. The stirrups themselves are wood, one has a split, and they should be replaced if the saddle were to be used. As a display, they are fine… They are very well decorated and horse heads appear on all of the larger silver spots. These same horse heads are on the breastplate, and all over the saddle. There are a few stitches missing above one of the silver adorned teardrops on the breastplate, and the drop is loose. It is a very easy fix. The short leather straps that attach the breastplate do show some cracking, and should also be replaced. The leather of the saddle is all very pliable and good. The stirrup leathers adjust by a simple belt type buckle. This is a little lower grade saddle than some of the Ted Flowers I have owned, but it is still lovely. The seat is a strong 16 inch, measured from the inside rim of the cantle straight across to the same level on the pommel.

This is a bit of information I could find about Holtz Saddle Company. The Holtz Saddle Co. Was founded in 1947 by Bernard (Bernie) W. Holtz in the basement of the family home in Carrolltown, PA. Bernie always had a love for horses and started driving a team at the age of nine. As a youngster, he would go to the movies and watch the cowboys on the screen, wearing fancy saddles on their horses. Shortly before his 30th birthday, he saw a Palomino he liked so very much that he bought it. A fancy horse needed a fancy saddle so he designed and made his first saddle while working at night. It was not long after that the orders from all over the country began flowing into the small shop in Carrolltown. The saddles which Bernie completed were each an original in that no two were designed alike, which accounted for many of the nearly 600 hours that it took to finish a complete saddle ensemble. In 1958, Bernie built a shop on his property and expanded the store to include a wide variety of everything for the horse and rider. For the next couple of decades he operated the shop, continued to make sought-after silver and leather articles, and with his wife, Leona, raised nine children. Bernie made 44 silver saddles in his career, including one owned by Richard Boone, of Have Gun Will Travel fame and several for riders in the Pasadena Rose Parade. MORE DESCRIPTION: There is crackling in the leather in places. The item “RARE Holtz Saddle Company Silver Parade Saddle & Breastplate Western Tack” is in sale since Tuesday, September 7, 2021.
