  • Condition: This is an antique Western saddle - probably made in the 1940's.It is maker stamped on the front of the seat. Model #1225 8488. It sells AS-IS, but is in very usable condition. The only real defect is that the fleece is in very poor condition. The rest of the leather is pliable with virtually no cracking, and the tree is solid. The saddle strings are new, and vintage saddle bags have been added on (they can be removed by untying the saddle strings). Other than that, everything is in good condition. Please look at pictures closely using the zoom feature, as they take precedence over written description, and read the full written description below. Thank you.

    The Red Tape:
    US Shipping:
    Saddles will ship via Fed Ex or USPS.
    Shipping is
    calculated
    unless otherwise stated. This means that the price is determined by the Post Office based on package size, weight, and destination.  We do not make money on shipping. Since shipping prices for an item vary greatly depending on the destination, we offer two to three shipping choices for most items that are 3 lbs or over. Please check the “Shipping details” link for all choices offered.
    We do combine shipping on items purchased within 5 days of each other. If you would like combined shipping, please do not pay until all items you are bidding on have closed and we have had an opportunity to send an invoice with combined charges. eBay
    will
    not
    automatically combine charges. Sorry, but shipping cannot be combined on two saddles because two saddles simply do not fit in a box that meets shipping size regulations.
    We ship every day that the Post Office is open – usually 6 days per week. Any items paid for by 10 P.M. EST are shipped the next business day.
    International Shipping:
    All international items are shipped as quickly as possible. One to two business days after payment is received is typical.
    We do ship worldwide. If you are from somewhere other than Canada, please contact me for shipping prices since they vary greatly from county
    to country. Canadian prices are advertised.
    We
    will not
    mark foreign purchases as “Gift.” This is illegal. If this is a problem, please do not bid.
    Returns:
    We try very hard to represent our items accurately and honestly. We accept returns, but we only refund the purchase price. All shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer. Please check measurements and ask any questions that you might have prior to bidding.
    If you have any questions, please ask! I will answer them as quickly and as well as I can.
