The last saddle owned by Pancho Villa will be for sale at the High Noon Western Americana auction this January.
Almost 100 years ago the infamous Pancho Villa, hero & outlaw, was assassinated in Hidalgo del Parral, Mexico, a short distance from his hacienda. What remains are not only the facts but also the folklore of his life, along with this magnificent silver threaded saddle, his last. It will be offered for public sale, to be sold at auction on January 28, 2012 at the High Noon Western Americana auction, in Mesa, AZ. This famous and historical item is estimated to bring between $150,000-250,000.
History and Beauty Integrated into One
Mabel Yorba, wife of Vicente Yorba, once owned this important, early, Edward H. Bohlin (Hollywood, California) sterling silver and 3-color gold, mounted, filigreed saddle. Vicente Yorba was a direct descendant of Jose Antonio Yorba who accompanied Father Junipero Serra to California to found the Franciscan Missions along the California coastline in 1769.
Jose's family received a 62,000-acre Spanish land grant called Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, eventually settling Yorba Linda, California, the birthplace of the 37th President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon.
