I believe the Bear Quiver was made around 1959 so I was told. I as wondering if I should put oil on it or leave it alone. I remember using it many years ago. I don't use and probably never will, so any suggestions what to do with the Quiver would be appreciated.

By all means oil it up with your preferred product. Don't want it rotting away! I have several but don't use them but they look great with arrows in them on display. Looks like a pencil or file pouch on the strap. Lance

I have one just like that. I use a treatment wax on mine.

Would saddle soap work?

It might be okay. I use Leather Restoration product from Tandy. It might darken a little no matter what you use. Lance

It couldn't hurt to read this from the National Park Service on leather conservation before you slather...

Lexol works pretty good to penetrate old dried leather.
Your quiver is a Western model and was produced like yours until 1959 when a knife and file sheath was added on either side of the raised zippered pouch. Without checking catalogs I don’t know when the Western was introduced.
They are great quivers for displaying you favorite set of arrows or it could be used if you can oil it up and softened
