Impressive, Colorful Deer Lodge Horsehair Bridle
100% original, including leather. Striking and bright Montana prisonmade polychrome horsehair bridle in pink, red, green, purple, yellow, black, and turquoise. Double round cheeks, closed reins and romal, twisted leather popper, glass and chrome elk-head rosettes, 3 celluloid rings, 14 tassels in natural beige & black, orange and pink. Traditional period hardware store catalog half-breed bit. Overall condition is superb and colors are bright, however, there is a 2” portion of the romal that has been wrapped in cotton thread and may (we can’t say for sure) hide some damage, c. 1915.
