Horsehair Bridle with Showy Bit Circa: 1910 Wonderful prison-made horsehair and leather bridle, with prison-made conchos and bit. Rarely do you find the original fancy bit on the bridle - and many times the bridles were made with very plain iron bits to begin with. The brow, middle of cheeks, and various sections of the reins are horsehair in bright colors on a white background, with large white tassels. The braided leather is California style, with knots on the reins and a romel. The brow conchos feature engravd horse's heads. The big bit is also California style, and has a half-breed mouth. This is in VERY nice condition and is a real looker. All of the silver is nickel silver, consistent with what was used in the prisons at this time. Probably from Walla Walla or one of the other northwestern/Idaho prisons. Price: $6,250.00 stock#defau...1697 |

Black Horsehair Bridle Circa: 1920 Stunning, black horsehair bridle, possibly made at Deerlodge Prison, circa 1920. This one is in UNUSED condition, and has b een stored carefully - the colors are as bright as the day it was made, we'd wager.

There's a drop from the poll to the browband, and then down to the noseband, with tassels, braid, and needle knots. The throat-latch has lovely large tassels in green, with a wide needle-knotted slip knot. The bridle's glass rosettes at the brow have dog heads while the noseband rosettes sport a horseshoe and saddle. Small tassels hang from the set of brow rosettes. Even the split reins have the original silk finishing thread. This is an outstanding piece - one of the best offered. Price: $11,250.00 stock#defau...1696 |

Horsehair Bridle Circa: 1910 Natural white horsehair bridle, with many colors including red, denim blue, gray, orange, black, pink and yellow, and lavender. Wonderful construction of 3 bands at poll, which slide for size adjustment. There's a drop from the poll to the browband, and then down to the noseband, with tassels, braid, and needle knots. The throat-latch has lovely large tassels in blue, with a wide needle knotted slip knot. The same tassels are on the split reins (but brown this time), which also have a slip knot, and which have a beautiful transition from light background to dark background. The bridle rosettes (at each brow and nose) are an interesting layering of leather cut in alternating circles and stars, and with differing, but complementary colors. Small tassels hang from each of the rosettes. A few worn spots, but otherwise in excellent condition, and a very nice example. This comes from the display collection of the MacRae's Indian Bookstore (Enumclaw, WA), recently sold. It may have been constructed by the same prisoner as the bridle above - but about a decade earlier. Price: $8,950.00 stock#defau...1617 |

Comes with horse's head display. Price: $22,500.00 stock#6229 |
