Per Russeck Gallery: "Bohlinmade black floral carved parade saddle with matching Bohlin Bridle and Breast Collar. Well maker-marked, this hybrid style includes elements from several Bohlin catalog models particularly the square flower conchos (#458-463) feat red on the "Don Weaver" model. The saddle has a 14" seat stamped in the leather with the earlier Bohlin cartouche and is fully carved with deep California poppy patterns while sporting heavy gauge, intricately engraved swell caps and a 4 1/2" high fully silver bound cantle with monogrammed name plate and initials "EEW". The imposing 22 1/2" long tapaderos continue the square floral concho theme but have been additionally enhanced with very striking but probably not Bohlinmade sterling plates and swell caps probably to conform to the requirements of Rose paraders whose silver saddle accessories required a certain level of consistency and conformity. These enhancement are further evident in the embellished mountings on the matching breast Collar with silver pyramid-shaped danglers. The matching Bridle is Bohlin maker-marked and appears original including a fine silver overlaid matching stainless half breed bit. Overall very good condition with very minor age cracking. Late 1930s-early 1940s."
