REPRINT SET – 1876 DECAMP LEVOY & 1925 PERKINS CAMPBELL
– GOOD EARLY SADDLE PRODUCTION REFERENCE SET:
These are quality reprints of period catalogs issued by
two of the best known saddle making companies of their
time, offered here as a set.
This set includes:
- The 1876 DeCAMP, LEVOY &
CO. Saddlery and Harness Catalog. Located in
Cincinnati, Ohio, DeCamp, Levoy and Co. was one of the
premier saddle manufacturing companies of the era, and
this illustrated catalog provides a comprehensive view
into the saddlery industry of the post Civil War era.
Printed in the original 8 ˝” by 6” format and the cover
artwork printed in the original tones, this catalog
consists of 119 pages, each of which features a detailed
illustration of a saddle or set of harness offered by
the company, with a heavy emphasis on saddles.
- The 1925 Perkins-Campbell
Saddle Company Saddlery and Harness Catalog. Located in
Cincinnati, Ohio Perkins-Campbell Melbach was one of the
first to incorporate photography into their catalogs,
making this reprint a particularly valuable research
tool, as the photographs eliminate the possibility of
any artist’s interpretation, showing the saddles exactly
as they were manufactured. Printed in the original 7 ˝”
by 8” format and the cover artwork printed in the
original tones, this catalog consists of 86 pages, each
illustrated with clear photographs of saddles.
These two catalogs feature
many of the important historical saddle designs to
include the Buena Vista, McClellan, Morgan, Mosbys,
southern Kilgore, Somersets, Texas Saddle, and Whitman,
as well as a good selection of English, boys, and
women’s saddles, bridles, bits, spurs and a variety of
other associated merchandise.
This set of catalogs will
be a good addition to your research library and handy
references the next time you encounter an antique
saddle. (0821) $40 for the set of two
