Monkey Business

The monkey riding a goat in this Leslie Jones photograph might have appreciated riding atop the circa 1890, floral- and leaf-tooled half-scale saddle made by L.D. Stone & Co. of San Francisco, California, that bid at $37,500. The story behind the saddle was told by the original owner to collector Francois Chladiuk.  — Photo By Leslie Jones, courtesy Boston Public Library Leslie Jones Collection; saddle and other lots courtes
