A week or two ago I bought a couple of saddles from a Bible camp. Cheap. I paid $40 for this one, the guy said it wasn't usable, but I didn't think it was too bad. But it was really dried out. I found out I couldn't adjust the fenders, that's probably why they stopped using it. I've been feeding the leather oil off and on for a week or so, and I finally got enough to loosen one side. This shows just how dry the leather was. Hopefully it will be usable once I get everything cleaned and re-oiled.
