Davidson including his presence in Helena after buying the W.C. Lobenstein Harness &Saddle Shop in 1876; Montana stopped being a Territory in late 1889 when it became a State; with the lot are two original different style A.J. Davidson & Co. letters dated 1890 & 1891 when the Company was inBozeman, Montana; given the markings, this is one of the earliest saddles we have offered for sale at auction in many years and would make a great centerpiece in a Western theme or gun room.
