BOHLIN
Silver Parade Saddle

 

Edward Bohlin Silver mounted parade saddle

 
Silver mounted parade saddle by Edward Bohlin made especially for famous western film star Tim Holt, with bridle, breast collar, tapaderos and corona.

There is a letter from Danny Lang, president and chairman of the board, Edward Bohlin Company, 11/28/1987 to the owner whose name is engraved on the backplate of the saddle and authenticates this saddle and the accessories and an additional letter from Sally Hollar, General Manager of Bohlin, dated 11/20/87 mentions the unique round skirts on this saddle whereas the Tim Holt model offered by Bohlin had square skirts.

The saddle and accessories remain in fine to excellent condition for their age and the saddle shows exceptional carving. The Bohlin plaque is mounted in the center portion of the seat.

Tim Holt was one of Hollywood's top ten box office stars from 1941-1943 and again in 1948-1952. He is best remembered as the younger partner to Humphrey Bogart in The Treasure of Sierra Madre (1948). He made 75 movies and his career lasted over 40 years.

Edward Bohlin was heard to have said that the best saddles he made were in brown. "you can't hide any mistakes".
