1984 model
Crates Arabian saddle
In very good shape for the year; will need new tie and off billet but the saddle itself is in great shape.
Any idea on worth?
Do you have any photos of it?
Not yet. It’s been cold and I haven’t gotten around to it. I will post when I have them though
This probably isn’t what you want to hear, but I just gave away my husband’s ‘old’ (2000 or so) Crates rope (so not your model or year, but just an example of the brand) saddle…so I would say…not much? Anything similar for sale on the net that would give you a barometer?

Actually, its exactly what I would like to hear, as this is a saddle that I may purchase! :lol:
No, I can’t find anything comparable. 
I have found that good saddles hold their value.
In my area the saddle would go 400-800 depending on condition/type.

I have to agree. Even at the low end auctions I have never seen a Crates saddle sell for less then 500.
I agree - I would guess around here it would go for around $500. If it’s in great shape, I wouldn’t hesitate to pay that.
