Contact Brian Lebel's High Noon Auction prior to bidding if you have a lot inquiry.
The only known example by this early Chico saddlery, this classic half-seat has all the desirable features of an 1860s-70s California saddle. It features exposed rawhide horn and cantle, and classic wrap-around “Sam Stagg”-style rigging. The fenders, jockeys, and square rear skirt feature a crisp, pleasing border tooling, while the fork displays the punch-tool design common to the saddles of this time and place. Marked “WOLLS & RANDON / MAKERS . CHICO.” on each of the separate side jockeys.
