Banner to pin on the side of a tent. It was probably from Camp Cody where all the guys who were on the border went to re arm and train while waiting to be shipped out to WW 1. I am also call it the first trench art as they had trenches around El Paso and at Colonia Dublan a Mormon Colony near Casas Grandes. It is all hand made from materials they could scrounge. I believe the saddle below the banner is also from Cody but who knows a real old guy in Deming had it said it was in his grandpas barn when he was a kid they used it.

Nice finds!

That saddle looks to be in pretty good shape. Do you think it will still ride?

Yes it would with a little work, I was going to try it out last summer at a gathering but it never happened.
