Beautiful brown tooled leather, maker marked twice & "9079". Made in Visalia, CA., wooden stirrups in overall good condition. "The Visalia Stock Saddle Company saw its beginning in the year of 1870 with David E. Walker, better known as D. E. Walker. The Visalia Style Stock Saddle was the invention of Juan Maratrel, who created the very first Visalia Stock Saddle Tree, and D. E. Walker, having been a saddle maker, bought Juan Maratrel's shop in 1870. After the purchase, D. E. Walker continued to have these saddle trees made with Ricardo Mattley exclusively for the next 20+ years for the Visalia Stock Saddle Company."
