Manufacturer: Bona Allen
Model: Western Saddle
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I BOUGHT THIS ODD LOOKING SADDLE 25 YEARS AGO, OR SO, AT A YARD SALE FOR $25.00.
I NEEDED SOME SORT OF SADDLE, DID NOT CARE WHAT IT WAS.
IT IS DIFFERENT LOOKING. LOOKS RATHER LIKE A CALVARY SADDLE, BUT HAS WESTERN BASKET WEAVE.
IT HAS A BIG HUMP, WITH A HOLE THRU IT, INSTEAD OF A HORN. THE STAMP ON IT SAYS, ESTABLISHED 1893, BUT NO BRAND NAME.
A SADDLE DEALER SAID HE THOUGHT THAT BONA ALLEN WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO STARTED THAT YEAR. I HAVE NO IDEA.
SO, I WONDER IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS "STRANGE LOOKING" SADDLE?
SOMEONE TOLD ME THEY SAW ONE LIKE IT IN A MUSEUM IN MISSOURI. MAYBE A MUSEUM WOULD HAVE ONE, I SHOULD LOOK!
I AM CONSIDERING SELLING THE SADDLE, BUT I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS, SO I CAN GET SOME SORT OF VALUE ON IT.

Likes: I LIKE THAT IT IS OLD AND "ODD" LOOKING.
Dislikes: NOTHING!
Quality: IT IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE, QUITE GOOD, EXCEPT A LITTLE OF THE SHEEPSKIN UNDERSIDE HAS WORN OFF.
Summary: I REALLY WANT TO FIND OUT WHO MADE THIS, WHAT IT IS EXACTLY AND HOW MUCH IT MIGHT BE WORTH.
