Edward H. Bohlin  Dick Dickson  Saddle
One of Ed Bohlin’s most popular sterling silver parade saddles, the Dick Dickson was originally designed and named for the movie theater executive, rancher and Rancheros Visitadores regular who first rode it in the Pasadena Rose Parade in the 1930s. The King of the Cowboys, Roy Rogers, ordered his Bohlin model Dickson in 1940, riding it for nearly two decades atop Trigger. A parader's favorite, this iconic model is built on a Miles City Tree with 13” swells, a 16” seat, 3 1?2” cantle and Bohlin’s trademark raised sterling buffalo head on the silvered horn. Completely decorated with heavy gauge sterling silver in diamonds, half-diamonds, and Bohlin silver spots, silver seat plate, intricately engraved corner plates plus stately long tapaderos adorned with matching silver and topped with an elegant engraved silver tap-cap with gold horsehead. Parade ensemble includes a perfectly matching grand Bohlin Breast Collar and Bohlin Bridle with silver mounted bit. Circa 1940s-50s.
