Main & Winchester Cantenas, overstamped S Loomis, Santa Barbara
Very important 19th c pommel bags, pictured as Pat No. 1 in the 1870-80s M & W (San Francisco) catalogs with full flower raised stamping, interior pockets with gusset, red cordoba lining, off-side with early pistol holder under flap. Rawhide lacing. Exterior hair. Undoubtedly made by Main & Winchester in San Francisco then sold by Samuel Loomis in Santa Barbara who overstamped the original cartouche with their own. How unique to find a piece double-stamped with the marks from two of the most prominent 19th century saddle shops in California
