Who made John Wayne's saddle that is at the cowboy museum?
This is from the tag accompanying photos of the saddle (see photo at link below)...
"John Wayne used this stock saddle, made by Ed Gilmore, in many of his later movies. After being cast in a number of "B" westerns, John Wayne's big break came in 1939 when his friend and director, John Ford, cast him as the "Ringo Kid" in the movie Stagecoach. For the next 30 years, "The Duke" reigned as one of Hollywood's biggest box office attractions and most beloved actors. In 1969, he won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Rooster Cogburn in True Grit. His last western was The Shootist, released in 1976."

I'm trying to figure out what the question is. Michael was Wayne's oldest son. He never had a son named Anthony but his second oldest was a girl named Anthonia.
