Edward H. Bohlin--Saddlemaker

This Bohlin classic sold last year for $30,000.00

Floral carved black Saddle, Bridle with Reins, Bit, silver mounted Corona (3rd skirt), Tapaderos and stunning Serape. According to Keith Seidel of Cody’s popular Seidel’s Saddlery, who completely renovated the entire outfit about 10 years ago, the saddle was originally made at Bohlin’s Hollywood shop in the late 1930s or early 1940s as a fully tooled roping saddle without silver. It was then returned to the Bohlin shop on several occasions to be mounted as evidenced by the Bohlinmade maker-marks on the silver added to the swell, skirts, and fenders. Again, at a later date (c. 1950) the third skirt (corona) was added as well as the serapes and the tapaderos, plus the matching bridle and breast collar.
