This lot offers a custom tooled "Fremont Saddle CO." saddle, out of Fremont Nebraska, circa 1905-06. The saddle shows a floral medallion motif, with a zig-zag pattern adorning the edges of the entire saddle. The makeup of the saddle consists of a high cantle, a swell fork, brass plated stirrups, wonderful silver colored "star" conchos, and excellent leather-clad rigging dee's. The saddle is stamped on the rear of the skirt with a faint "Fremont Saddlery CO. - Fremont, NEB.". The saddle shows good condition for age, even the woolen undercarriage shows almost no apparent matting. This saddle came from the personal collection of Kent DeVore - renowned western saddle maker, and owner and operator of "DeVores Saddlery" out of Helena Montana, since 1950. The saddle has a 13" seat.
