Rare- ANTIQUE Nigger Boy (brand) Cowboy Western c1910s CHAP Belt- Santa Fe For Sale

Here is a RARE c1910 chap belt marked \"Nigger Boy\" BRAND made by J.G. Read and Brothers Co.. and has the image of a horse. The leather is in good shape. A great replacement belt. HISTORY: J.G. Read learned saddle making beginning at the age of 17 working for Cornish & Walton in Ogden Utah during the 1870s. In 1883 he purchased the old Hodgman Saddlery and renamed it Read Harness & Saddlery. They were joined in 1898 by a third brother, Oscar I. and formed the J.G. Read and Brothers Co. They used the “Nigger Boy Brand”, named for a famous trotter, until the early 20s, when the Federal Government demanded that they cease for obvious reasons. Leather is good but well worn, no repairs.
