The title says Vintage/Antique because this Saddle could have been made anywhere from 1866 to 1928. In 1866, when the factory was started the company employed approximately 6 men and by 1900 at the turn of the century, there were 135 factory workers plus office sales and administrative staff. Askew Saddle Company was among the first to cater to the working cowboys who were driving their beef to market in Kansas City, Missouri or Chicago, Illinois. The product most noted from the Saddlery was the ASKEW Saddle known for being a superior product of excellent materials and workmanship, available in different saddle designs. These products were so desired that the supply from the company spanned throughout Missouri as well as neighboring areas. This particular saddle has been on display in a western wear store for 45 years. That is why it is in such great condition. Each of the stirrup flaps have a nice buck elk on them. It just needs some cleaning. This would make a great display, show saddle, or add a major piece of history to any collection.
