I think the base is around $1500 or $1600. Then add in tooling, silver, etc. The last one I bought was barbwire border with a complete antique basket weaving, solid silver for the conchos, and suede seat with a calf roping horn. It was $2350. The saddles is 100% handmade and absolutely no flaws. They have a lifetime guarantee and you won't find a nicer guy to deal with.

DannyD, yes, the Georgetown, KY won the bidding war to get the Toyota plant and Princeton, IN lost several years ago when they were going to build a plant to produce the Camry's. Later, after the Camry plant was doing so well, they (Toyota) wanted another plant in this area and Princeton, IN got the deal to build Tundra's and Sequoias.
I don't think this post is devisive or political even when it wondered away from furniture. Many people with good intentions simply do not know all the facts. My father has been a life long member of the UMWA and they used to literally drive over and crush a Toyota with their giant haul trucks if someone parked one on the lot. Buy American they said while crushing the pickup with a giant Komatsu. Hmm, I wonder where Komatsu is made?? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Anyway, they had a true pro-American spirit at heart, but didn't have a good thought process. The same goes for other products. If it originates over seas, but is largely assembled and sold here, America benefits just as much or more than the plant of origin. When our factory builds part of a Kubota in GA, assembles it in the plant in GA, and our dealerships across America make profits from selling the product and parts, as well as making money servicing the machine, Americans likely make more off the "American made" Kubota than the Kubota headquarters in Japan.
I'm not sure of the spelling, but it becomes a symbiotic (sp?) relationship. One where both sides benefit and neither side hurts the other. It is sort of like the Glock sidearm that my local police department carries. It says made in Smyrna, GA on them. However, I believe the actual true origin of Glock is tucked away in the mountains of Austria. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
