Connolly Saddles

[TXTibbs]

Wow honestly never done it before but looked at the stamp on the back of my grandpa's old saddle that I have that I grew up riding in and it is stamped Jack Connolly, Livingston Mont.

I found the following very interesting and detailed article on these famed Connolly Saddles.

Anyone else have stories or anything to add about these saddles? Im not sure if the saddle stamps are suppose to show up in the article or not where it says, but I can't see them.

thanks for posting this. I have one and will go check it better for the exact makers mark. I got it from who I believe was the original owner. He was a friend when I was a kid.

Mine is stamped Jack Connolly, Livingston Mont., so near I can tell it was made between 1929 and 1937? I can't find a true sight that shows the stamps and the active dates.

I just acquired two Connolly Roping Saddles, in great condition, how do i find the date they were made? And does anyone know their value? They were made in Billings, Mt. both are stamped, in leather.

Don't know anything about your saddles but wanted to say welcome aboard! Redding Ca. is a long way from here but I spent the night in Redding a couple of times while on west coast trips. Beautiful country!
