I doubt this is the proper place for this post but it seems to be the closest thing to it since it at least deals with animals. 
Recently, my husband purchased an old Jumbo Brand western saddle. It has some identifying numbers on it and I am interested in locating some history on the saddles. I have found some very limited information on the net and I am obviously not typing in the more pointed search words. I would appreciate any help I can get. I have found two sites that we can purchase a CD of catalogs from. One from 1924 and one from 1930. We are thinking the saddle was made in 1932, as 32 are the last two numbers on the saddle (just guessing of course).
I would appreciate any and all help on this!
You might pm to Dyslexia on this one. I promise he'll know more than I.
Well, he's certainly not going to know less.
Hey Roger! How are you? Thanx! I bet Dys would know something about this topic. I appreciate it!
Jumbo brand saddles are well made roper saddles, the pre 1940 are collectors, used to be very popular with 4 H cause they tend to be dressy, they sit well with most horses. I always prefered the Mcclland style but Jumbo are very nice if in excellent condition.
I was really hoping someone could help me out with this. I can't find much at all. The library wasn't much help. Does anyone have any idea how I would go about finding the history of companies? I tried googling the company name with the word history but found pretty much zip.
Thanx!
Have you looked at this

They're looking for a very particular Jumbo saddle that used to belong to Ross Perot's father, and have this Jumbo for sale

They seem quite knowledgeable - could probably help you search.
Good luck.
Thank you so much Ehbeth! I'll let you know what I find out!

@mocowboy68,
jim shoulders jumbo ... sorry about the typo
@Arella Mae,
I too have an old Jumbo saddle by the Schoellkopf Co. that my parents bought for me in 1958. I have been told that I am the third owner. My parents bought it from my sistor-in-laws family and they had gotten it from another family in the tiny town I was raised. It is a youth's saddle with a smaller set and has a tin or zink plated metal covering over the sturrip that is orignal. It most closely resembles #49 of the web site of the 1930 ad for the CD's.
@jinks,
I seen your posting with regards to the Jumbo saddle w/the elephant symbol on it. I have one in great condition and trying to find out how much it's worth. You seem like you have knowledge on this would matter and I was wondering if you would be able to direct me to a web site that could provide what this is worth?
@crazylilady1369,
I also have a jumbo roper that my dad bought used and gave me in 1955. It has the elephant on it and the metal on the sturrips. It has a 14 in seat.It is in good shape and I am wondering what its value is.
