Tex Tan Hereford - added pics to post 4

Nickers2002 · 11-06-2009, 05:40 PM

Ok, so I have this saddle sitting in my living room. It's a Tex Tan Hereford the numbers on the fender read 694 on top and then 109 8784 below it. I tried a search and couldn't find anything. If it helps, it's an older saddle with buckstitching and an equitation style seat. If anyone can find/has info on it that would be great. Thanks.

Call Tex Tan, they will answer you in a heartbeat.

The numbers on top are the model number, the longer number tells you when it was made and then a serial number.

On mine, the first part of the second number is 55 and they told me it was made in May 1975, so maybe yours is October 1979? Just a guess!

I had one of those!!!

Great saddle, got it used from a friend of the family, had it for years before finally selling when I got my buckaroo saddle. I don't remember what the numbers were, but mine had the buckstitching too!

Here's a couple pics of the saddle. I'm still waiting for an answer from Tex Tan (I e-mailed them cause they were closed, but I e-mailed like 4 days ago) so still, if anyone can find info on those numbers it'd be great

Thanks.

Nope, totally cruddy. You should just give it to me to be rid of it, lol.

Really though, it's a nice looking saddle. I would guess 1960s or 1970s for the time period it was built.

It's worth $300-400, but right now, in our current saddle market, I'd expect it to sell for $250-300.
