Location: Vacaville CAHermann Heiser was born in Germany on June 29, 1836. Believing that there were few opportunities for him there, he immigrated to the United States in 1854. After staying in New York for a short time, Heiser moved to Wisconsin where he learned to speak English and began perfecting his saddle making trade. He opened his first saddle and harness shop in the city of Highland, Wisconsin. Heiser quickly gained a reputation for working hard and making excellent saddles. Unfortunately, he also began to have health issues. Heiser’s doctor recommended that he move to a higher elevation for his health. So, in 1863 Heiser and a friend decided to move to the mile high city of Denver, Colorado. Heiser arrived in Denver on December 22, 1863. After staying in Denver during the winter, he moved to Black Hawk where he and another saddle maker opened a shop. The shop did well, and a year later, they opened a second store in Central City. Heiser’s reputation as a superior leather man spread and people began to seek out his saddles. The shops also sold other goods such as gun leather, cowboy accessories, and harnesses. On May 20, 1874 Heiser bought a saddlery on Blake Street in downtown Denver and named it the “The Hermann H. Heiser Saddlery Company.” His business continued to grow and in 1878 he registered his Triple ‘H’ trademark. It was the ninth registered trademark in Colorado. By the 1900s, The Hermann H. Heiser Company was known around the world. Heiser met and married his wife, Mathilde, in 1877. The couple had four boys and in 1904 Heiser’s oldest son, John, took over the business. Heiser died on September 12, 1904 while visiting his sister in Germany at the age of sixtyeight. Heiser’s sons held a family meeting and decided they wanted to keep running the family business. The brothers helped the store continue to grow. By 1917 The Hermann H. Heiser Company was the largest manufacturer of saddlery goods in the West. The company remained a family business for eighty-seven years.I count 3 maker stamps on this saddle. 1 on the front, center of seat. 1 on both fenders.
The serial # on latigo which has been remade and original # stamped back on is I2692MThe seat measures anywhere from 14 depending upon where you measure it. If you have more accurate details on the origin/history of this saddle, please send me a message and I will add the info to this description. Weight: Sellers Notes: sheepskin has been replaced as well as all latigo strings. Saddle is in rideable condition has original lace up stirrups.Saddle is being sold As-Is with no returns.
