For your consideration is a custom genuine leather pen holder from the renowned Edward H. Bohlin, based out of Hollywood, California. Edward Bohlin and his carefully selected team of leather, and silversmiths, were known to craft the world’s finest saddles, and leather tack. Ed was born in Sweden in 1895 and ran away towards America at the young age of 15. Ed had dreams of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West in his head, and when he arrived state side, got a job working cattle drives in Montana, later to open his first saddle shop in Cody, Wyoming. Ed would often stand in front of his shop, performing rope tricks to entice cliental. Bohlin met a man named Tom Mix, while performing at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood - Mix convinced Ed to stay in Hollywood to produce his fine saddles, eventually to serve patrons such as Mae West, Hopalong Cassidy, Monte Hale, Lyndon Johnson, and Ronald Reagan. Under Ed's watchful eye, "The Edward H. Bohlin Company" operated from the early 1920's, through the 1980's, now operating under different ownership. This pen holder features the company's leather badge on the front and back which reads "Edward H. Bohlin - Saddle Makers silversmiths - Hollywood, California - since 1920" and also shows a Texas longhorn. The pen holder is in very good condition with no signs of damage. The interior felt is also in good condition with no signs of damage and the interior and exterior stitching is tight and intact. The pen holder measures 3 1/2" L x 3 1/2" W x 4 3/4" H.
