Anything over $500 is just too much.

Take a Picture Posts: 12838	The information you gave is not enough to price it. Depends on condition. If it says Billy Cook Saddles Greenville TX. It is not worth much. If it says Billy Cook MAKER made in Sulfur OK. It is worth more. Tried to keep that short Edited by streakysox 2017-06-16 7:40 PM

Tried to keep that short pretty sure 30 years was before the split when all billy cooks were made in TX. Billy Cook was bought out by Simco/Longhorn about the mid 70's. He opened the Oklahoma saddlery in 1981. Like I said if it says Billy Cook MAKER then it was actually made by Billy Cook where ever. I have a Billy Cook that I bought new in 1974. Still have it. It says Billy Cook MAKER G0reenville Tx. Hope that clarifies things.

Thank you for the replies. I won't put too big of a pricetag on it. She asked to buy it and I had no idea what to say.
