This Horse Hair Bridle is very elegant, with both Red and White Tassels, and a geometric woven Indian Pattern in the head band, curb band, and nose band. The bright colors against the black background make it quite striking in appearance. The head band is finished off with two Bridle Rosettes, in Red with Horseheads, and a woven body around them. The bit is a period "S" curve shaped bit, preferred by Cowboys and Western horsemen.

This bridle, in doing a search, appears to be extremely similar to the ones produced in Deer Lodge, Montana Prison. The skilled inmates wove these Bridles to pass the time, and maybe earn a little spending money. This Bridle on a scale of 1 to 10, is about an 8+. It has vibrant colors, but has some wear spots, and some rough edges, and minimal broken areas. It is all original, and for time and age, a very fine Bridle.

The reins are very excellent, all there with NO breaks, and the tasseled ends. They are (as shown above ) a dark black, with a red and yellow twist in them. These Bridles are almost impossible to find, and this one has "color" and deluxe features. An elegant accessory to the Mounted Westerner of the 19th and early 20th century.  PRICE $2,750

During the period following the Civil War, and up to about the early portion of the 1900's , saloons thrived with every type gambling game imaginable. From mentally skilled games, to games of physical skill. This Game, Coin Toss, a.k.a. Frog Toss, was a simple yet productive game for the saloon or proprietor of the game. It stands 36 inches tall, by 18 inches wide, by 22 inches long. The surface of the game board has holes, hoops with holes, a spinning wheel in hole, and the FROG hole, a cast Iron Frog with a large OPEN mouth !!! The object of the game was to establish a distance from the game, and throw iron coins, or silver dollars, at the board. Depending on which hole you hit, the coin slid down the ramps, into the POINT valued slot.  Highest points, won the round.

This was a fast moving highly profitable game ! As of this writing the last original game such as this one , appeared more than 15 years ago, and that one did NOT have an original toss coin ! Theses games appeared in San Francisco gambling halls, and other parts of the country. This one is in near perfect condition, ALL original, including remainders of orange paint on the frog.
