Add some character to your Western themed decor with this super black leather headstall, heavy with silver spots on the cheek

rounded corners similar to military buckles. They're marked with the North and Judd Anchor. The leather is not marked. There is
some wear and patina to the nickel spots. The aluminum bit is completely corroded as are the conchos at the top but it definitely
lends that antique look to any display!

stirrup has a crack on the outside please see the photos.

Superb pair of saddle pockets marked F. A. Meanea Cheyenne. This is an early pair as evidenced by the line drawings similar
to Maine and Winchester along with the fully tooled poppies and leaves. The gussets are in excellent shape, no tears.. even at
the corners. Beautiful darkened russet color with excellent patina. All original, including roller buckles and straps. Good
strong mark. Back side retains original rough-out texture, these pockets have seen very little wear indeed. You'll find that the
lacing between the two pockets is on the delicate side and has a few breaks. The straps are likewise in fair condition but
overall the leather is super. There are four extra cowboy-enhanced holes in the backside of each side gusset but they're
pretty much hidden. This set of full flap pockets can be seen in the Laird book p 39.

Later pair of Frank Meanea saddlebags with tooled super border design: these are a knockout pair, probably after the turn of
the Century. They have hard backs, and perfect gussets with no tears. One flap pocket has a scratch across it but the patina
on this pair of saddlebags is really nice; deep and rich looking... The original buckles are typical of later Meanea. Straps show
wear and use but they're not over the edge. Marked near where the pockets join one another with a feint but legible MEANEA
CHEYENNE. You won't be disappointed, as always, satisfaction guaranteed.

Sometimes cowboys heading west purchased their goods when they got off the train at Cheyenne,
sometimes they outfitted themselves before they left the east. This is a good example of the latter. Acquired
from a local sale these saddlebags came west with a dude in the late 1800's from Kansas City Missouri.
Pockets have their original nickle conchos and roller buckles. The leather is in good overall with the usual
delicate nature of the straps however the stitching is all tight and gussets are in great shape. Attractive border
tooling design of a "s" repeat. Note the notch on the center piece to accomodate the fit around the saddle. It's
exactly the same on both sides. Single scratch on one pocket looks like barbed wire. Excellent patina, I
haven't even cleaned this leather.
