Re: Hand-Woven Horsehair Bridle
Items such as this really need a physical examination by an expert to determine their origins, but based on what I can see in the images provided, it is very similar to examples made in the Montana State Prison, Deer Lodge. These "Presentation Bridles" were very popular prizes at equestrian events during the 20' and 30's and are highly sought after in today's market. Even at auction similar examples to yours often sell for over $2500.00, and can retail for over $6000.00 in good used condition.
