Description from the Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 6 1830 pg. 29.

For a Leather Tree-saddle; Matthias Holdeman, Trapp, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, October 10.

As the title indicates, this patent is taken for making a saddle-tree of leather, instead of wood. The mode of cutting and joining the pieces so as to obtain the proper form is described in the specification; when made, the whole is to be well sized, or stiffened, with glue. There is no particular claim, the object being to secure the right to make saddles with leather trees.
