Nice whips...
I am guessing natural tan.
Not sure on the maker(s) but I would say some are Morgan.

Left to right - natural tan, natural tan, saddle tan, natural tan, saddle tan/whiskey.
I think 4th whip from left is Stenhouse and the 3rd is Strain.
Am I right :) ?

The 1st is indeed a Pagey, 4th from left is a Stenhouse (very old, dark natural tan) and the last one is made by me, correct.
So now :whip: No. 2 and 3 are still unknown

#2- midwest whip made by Paul or Lauren, color natural tan

#3- Morgan, a more current version but still older and very used in natural tan.

Just my 2 cents and i am not very good at this.

Regards,

The only one I was certain of was the Stenhouse, but that has already been identified. My following attempts have no basis in logic whatsoever, so here goes:

#2. Joe Strain. Natural

#3. Pagey. Whiskey

Guilty as charged!
The great thing about having another gearhead nearby is you get to hang out and have a few beers with piles of whips, leather jackets and bags and such - not to mention all the other strange and obscure oddities that adorn Indybreineder's flat!

Nice avatar Dan - almost looks like you have a halo! :lol:

horns would have been funnyer :twisted:

Yes, it's allways fun to hang out with Nick and to have some gear talk. It must be an even bigger joy for people watching us sitting on the bar and talking about weared stuff in English and German at the same time!

Great pictures-beautiful pictures.
I feel fortunate to own whips made by all of those makers.
A quorum of quality one might say.
