I had one just like it and sold it 10 years ago(at the going rate then) for $400.00
 

I have a carved and red lacquered wooden saddle but it was made during the Ming Dynasty in China.

Like yours it has the four pieces that create the saddle when assembled.

I wonder if yours was made in the U.S. by Chinese railway laborers who may have been familiar with similar saddles in China.
 

Looks like a saddle for a camel. They are made similar with a wooden frame.
 

Any guess how old , its tie up using sinew
 

Awesome score
