Need More Information..

Remember when I used to post some things that I could not find information on? Well, I have yet another. I have searched for several weeks for information on this beautiful photograph. In fact, since finding this photo, I have looked for any information in regards to any African American women who rode aside. That would make such an interesting post.. but to no avail. So, if any of you have anything you could add and share with us about that, please post a reply!

The only information I have about this photo is "1887 Bella Epoque". I first thought that was her name, but my searches revealed that it is French and translated means Beautiful Period.

Need More Information..

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen.. welcome to yet another addition of Need More Information! You know the rules.. but just in case, I will remind you.

I post a picture of something that I do not have enough information about to do a blog post on. I give you the questions I have been trying to get an answer to and see if any of my educated astute readers have the key to expose the mystery. Please comment if you have any information about today's mystery item!

Okay - Are you ready to play? Here we go!!

All I know about this, is that it is called a Christie Sidesaddle Stirrup..... So, do any of you know more about it? What type of metal is it made of? When was it manufactured? What brand of sidesaddle (if any) was in manufactured with? Did it have a specific purpose for it's interesting design?
