Featured in this lot is a H.H. Heiser Saddlery Denver, Colorado saddle circa 1915 to 1930s. The saddle features a wonderfully and professionally crafted leather and wooden tree construction that shows beautiful tooled decoration to the fenders and skirt of the saddle with a high back seat and A shape pommel with flared swells and leather wrapped horn. The seat is marked as follows: "H.H. Heiser Denver, Colo. in an oval and bar". Hermann H. Heiser, a leather worker from Platteville, Wisconsin, moved to Denver in 1859 and founded the H.H. Heiser Saddlery Company around 1863. The business became one of the most respected makers of Western leather goods, producing saddles, holsters, cartridge belts, harnesses, scabbards, and chaps. Heiser registered the triple “H” trademark in 1878, and his products were stamped “H.H. Heiser / Denver”. The company was sold to Denver Dry Goods in 1945, later absorbed by Keyston Bros. in the 1950s, and the brand eventually faded out by the mid-20th century. The condition of this H.H. Heiser saddle is well preserved with some patina to the leather of the saddle and shows some wear to the adornments consistent with age and use but otherwise shows a well preserved condition (The saddle has after genesis additions from Madison Saddlery Ennis, Montana). The overall measurements of this saddle are 34 1/2" x 17" x 23 1/2" and the seat measures 13 1/2". The collective weight of this saddle is 22lb 8oz.*
