Welcome to our Spring 2019 Gold Rush, Western, and Native American Art Auction

This is our most diverse offering yet in this category. I am confident that our
customers and clients will find a wonderful and historical array of items related to
the Old West and American westward expansion for the most discerning of tastes.

Included is a stunning collection of over a dozen rare 18th and 19th century
tomahawks and a Blackfoot lance from the estate collection of the late California
collector Mr. Don Euing. Don specialized in early colonial and frontier weapons
and had a great eye for the rare and authentic. He only collected museum quality
weapons, and these offered here are available for the first time on the collector
market.

There are two separate Indian arrows collected off of the Custer battlefield from
the Dr. Frank Wagner cavalry museum collection. A comprehensive collection of
some of the finest 19th century Plains, Southern Plains, and Southwest dolls to come
to the market in recent years.

A Pawnee painted buffalo robe, stunning Crow rifle scabbard and Crow buffalo
hide shield, a very nice Sioux beaded pictorial vest and beautiful Sioux beaded
blanket strip.

Cowboy and Old West enthusiasts will find beautiful examples of finely woven
prison made horsehair bridles, a variety of saddles, silver mounted spurs and
custom bits by famous western makers such as, G.S. Garcia, Tapia, Hernandez,
Morales, Larios and others. A stunning collection of high end Mexican sombreros
and cowboy hats, Southwest sterling and turquoise jewelry, bunkhouse/ranch
furniture, a full sized Concord stagecoach, saloon back bar bottles, a pair of Jo
Mora Rodeo posters, Buffalo Bill,101 Ranch, and Tompkins Wild West advertising
posters, and a Winchester advertising bullet display board.

There are two very historic and important images also being offered. One is
a cased tintype of bandit Butch Cassidy and the other is a previously unknown
outdoor image of Morgan Earp, Doc Holliday, and Big Nose Kate. Firearms include
Winchesters, Remingtons, Colts, Smith & Wessons, Merwin and Hulberts, various
cowboy gun leather and accessories, as well as other frontier and Indian used
firearms.

There is also a nice selection of Gold Rush era gold quartz jewelry, western
paintings, photographs, and bronzes.

This will be followed by our coin-op and advertising auctions on Saturday and
Sunday, and will be an epic 3 day event that you won’t want to miss!

to today’s younger generation as a pall bearer at the funeral of Wyatt Earp. These silver plated double
rowl spurs feature beautiful scroll engraving on one side. The leather is done in basket weave pattern.

and are displayed on an oak stand with a silver plaque that reads “EDWARD BOHLIN SADDLEMAKERS,

to note that Tom Mix, having befriended Bohlin in the early years, talked him into staying in Hollywood and
producing fine leather and silver cowboy products. Spurs and leather are near mint, silver plated, and both

1091 - FRAMED CUSTER BATTLEFIELD ARROW COLLECTED BY 7TH CAVALRY OFFICER.


Case: 19” x 37 -1/2”. Arrow: 26”. Circa 1870’s, Sioux arrow with iron tip collected by Lt. Luther Hare, 7th US Cavalry. During the June 1876
expedition to the Little Bighorn River, Lieutenant Hare was on detached service assisting Lt. Charles Varnum with the Crow Indian scouts, being
appointed assistant on the evening of the 24th of June. During the siege on Reno’s Hill, he served as Maj. Marcus Reno’s adjutant, since Lt.
Benjamin Hodgson had been killed during the retreat from the woods. This arrow was found in a burial tipi 48 hours after the battle by Lt. Hare
along with a number of other ceremonial items. Arrow is interesting as it never had fletching, has long series of red painted stripes at the base,
and was meant to be a ceremonial arrow used to accompany the deceased into afterlife. Hare entered West Point in 1870 and graduated 17
June 1874, joining the 7th Cavalry later that year. By the time of the Great Sioux War, he was a second lieutenant in Company K (Lt Godfrey
Commanding), serving in the battalion commanded by Capt. Frederick Benteen. Hare later gave testimony at the subsequent Reno Court of
Inquiry in 1879. Hare participated in the Nez Perce War (1877), Spanish-American War (Philippines Theater), and Philippine American War,
notably in the recovery of captured US forces following the Battle of Pulang Lupa. He retired on medical disability in July 1903, but served
several stints on active duty after that, retiring for the final time in February 1919. Luther Hare died at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington,
D.C., and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. By direct acquisition from the Hare-Mason family to late Custer authority and author, John
Carroll with a 1985 dated notarized letter attesting to such. This is the only known Luther Hare collected war trophy in private hands. Arrow is
professionally framed and mounted along with an original albumen image of Lt. Hare in his cavalry dress uniform. Photo is signed on the reverse,

tremendous amount of time to make, and they were collected to be used again after being shot in battle. A number of these collected arrows
were given to Mr. Randy Steffen, owner of the Walking “S” Ranch in 1963 by the tribal council of the Oglala Sioux, presented by his close
friend Charles Red Cloud, grandson of the Custer era Chief Red Cloud. It was one of a number of gifts given to Mr. Steffen in appreciation of his
clothing drives to help the needy people of Pine Ridge Indian Agency. Accompanying the framed arrow is a notarized letter dated November 19,
1978, from Dorothy Ann Steffen to John Carroll attesting to the above oral history. Arrow is professionally mounted and framed. PROVENANCE:

frame. It prominently features four different Indian chiefs resplendent in their war bonnets
and face paint. The bottom of the post features a war dance. The top left vignette is a
simple scene of teepee family life and the right vignette of charging warriors. Color is
brilliant. There are two minor chips on the left white border with no inclusions within the
image. There are no visible creases or tears, nor any signs of restoration. No fading of
any kind. (Excellent). 2,000 - 3,000

1155 - CURRIER & IVES “THE PURSUIT” BY A.F. TAIT FRAMED PRINT.
Sight: 20-1/2” x 27”. Framed: 40” x 33”. Circa 1856, hand-colored color stone
lithograph of A. F. Tait’s “The Pursuit.” This lithograph was drawn from an 1855 oil
painting by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait. It was one of a number of Western scenes published
by Currier & Ives in the mid to late nineteenth century when American’s were fascinated
with the Westward Expansion. Scene conveys a sense of great urgency as it depicts a
mounted wounded Indian warrior holding a lance and fleeing a buckskin clad frontier
scout, also mounted, firing at him with a pistol. Plate legend on bottom margin bearing
title has only the lightest toning consistent with age. Colors are crisp and un-faded. One
of the finest examples of this print that we have seen. (Very Good). 4,000 - 6,000

1156 - LARGE BUFFALO RANCH REAL WILD WEST TURN OF THE CENTURY STONE LITHO POSTER.
Framed : 57 -1/2” x 22 -1/2”. Poster measures 55-1/2” long x 20” wide, not counting
frame. Printed by the Riverside Print Company of Milwaukee and Chicago. This is a
beautiful multi-color stone lithography that features several action scenes to include
Arabs on racing camels, women playing equestrian football in full cowgirl garb, a scene
of charging Indians in full headdress in front of the grandstands, and a large colorful
scene of a real Indian war dance complete with weapons. CONDITION: There is some
horizontal creasing in two places from being folded and some very minor border tears,
none of which interfere with the image that has been completely blacklighted and shows
no signs of repaint or inpainting. Colors are bright as new with no fading. Framed in a
simple black frame using Plexiglas to reduce weight. Impressive, early litho with lots of
action and Indians. We are assuming it was the Jones Brothers that owned in in 1910-11
where it was sold and became the Kit Carson Buffalo Ranch and combined circus from
1911-14; this poster mentions nothing about a circus, so we are assuming this is the scarce
Jones Bros poster. (Very Good). 1,000 - 1,500

1163 - (A) INDIAN SCOUT BEADED HOLSTER WITH TACKED TRAPDOOR AND US SMITH & WESSON AMERICAN WESTERN OUTFIT.
Gun: 40”L. Offered is an impressive, old US Indian scout outfit that includes a Smith & Wesson American, a US Trapdoor, a .45-70 Prairie belt
and a homemade holster fully decorated with glass beads and crossed American flags. The revolver is a Smith & Wesson 2nd Model American
in .44 Russian with a 6” barrel. Serial No. 17128. Manufactured from 1872 to 1874. Original in blued finish which is now a smooth brown
patina. Popular handgun in the Old West and is only about 100 numbers off of a documented Cole Younger gun. Grips are serial numbered
to gun numbered 26865. Barrel legends are sharp and completely readable. Screws are fairly straight. Indexes and locks up correctly. Strong,
pronounced rifling with minor black powder abrasion. Mismatched assembly numbers. Overall, dark smooth, chocolate brown patina with a
homogeneous Western look. Includes a Smith & Wesson factory letter. The Trapdoor is a Model 1873 period cut-down rifle serial No. 67886
with 20-1/2” barrel, 1873 rifle rear sight, crudely fitted dovetail front sight, single band, half stock, decorated with oxidized brass tacks on
stock, forearm and wrist. Buttplate was removed. Metal is all brown patina. Fine action. Strong, visibly rifled bore. Wood has some stress cracks
and chips typical of Indian rough use. Some chipping to stock around lockplate. The plate and hammer have overall fine pitting and most of
the US stamp is no longer visible. Appears as though someone wiped on some finish on hammer at one time. Buttplate is usually removed to
scrape buffalo skins. Comes with an 1876 Prairie belt made of canvas with a heavy brass buckle and a homemade holster that is nearly fully
decorated with glass beads. The base has typical Indian decoration while the flap is decorated with two crossed American flags and a border of
blue beads. The Indian bead work found on this holster is a collector category unto its own, and when the early beadwork is combined with the
Americana motif, makes this single piece highly collectible Americana/Folk Art extraordinaire. This outfit is typical what a US Indian Cavalry scout
would be armed with. Great to display as an ensemble and definitely has the early Indian War eye appeal, especially with the colorful holster.
It is believed that the Indian scouts that rode with the US Cavalry were the most important men on the mission and this outfit is typical of the
customized weaponry and rig that an Indian scout would have worn during the 1880’s. A great collection that has been together a long time with
striking eye appeal. This unique outfit deserves to stay together as a single display. Belt, 38”L. (Very Good). 9,000 - 12,000

1164 - (A) INDIAN USED M1866 WINCHESTER SADDLE RING CARBINE.


39”L. Serial No. 29851, manufactured in early 1870, plenty of time to have been out on the Plains during the heart of the Indian Wars
period. This outstanding Indian used carbine shows a beautiful patina overall with the typical dings and scratches associated with frontier use.
Ornamented with brass tack decorations on the forend and along the edge and bottom of the butt stock. A few tacks are missing, exposing
very worn shanks and age. You can clearly see where the tacks previously were for a long time before being worn or broken off. A 2-1/4”
thin Moroccan leather disc with a stippled, pictographic warrior figure decorates the right hand side of the stock held in place by 12 brass
shanked tacks with one missing. Barrel has the early type screw-in end cap, original saddle ring, and screw-in lever latch. Also, has the early
front band sight and short flip-up rear sight with correct pointed style butt plate with trapdoor...all proper features on early 1866 carbines.
Overall condition is thin blue turning dark with about 30% original blue remaining on the barrel and magazine tube. The two line Barrel address
is in good condition and readable. Screws are overall nice with only one slightly marred. Elevator has a pleasing mustard patina with no dents.
Hammer, lever and trigger are show no erosion, and have slight remnants of scattered blue thinned to brown. Stocks are very good, full-sized with
numerous scratches and dents overall commensurate with age and use of carbine. Buttplate is a mustard brown patina with some high point wear.
Saddle ring is original. Brass frame has aged to a pleasing dark gold patina over some old light scratches. (Good). 6,000 - 8,500

1166 - (A) LOT OF 4: SAN CARLOS APACHE RESERVATION POLICE RIG INCLUDING
GUN, BADGE, HOLSTER, BELT.
Belt: 41”L. Lot consists of a factory nickel plated Model 1875
Remington with a barrel shortened to 5- 7/8”. A knife blade front
sight has been reset into the front barrel, top of barrel has a strong
Remington factory stamp. The Remington 1875 was manufactured
from 1879 - 1889 and it is known that 639 nickel plated 1875’s were
purchased by the U.S. Interior Department in 1883 for use of Indian
Police on the western reservations. Early guns had .44 stamped on
the grip, eventually moved to the frame, and finally the trigger bow.
No stamp is present on this gun. It might have originally been on the
grips, but the grips have been hand checkered - although scored might
be more accurate. They are shy to metal on front strap, which may
also indicate replacement grips. Factory lanyard ring. Six shot, single
action. CONDITION: Needs some mechanical work as the hammer
will not stay at full cock. Bore is fairly worn out. Accompanying gun
is a leather cartridge belt with .44 caliber loops, soft leather, border
tooled, California silver clip point buckle. Not a money belt. Besides LOT - 1167
border tooling has been carved with some large leaves on both
billet and buckle edges. CONDITION: Two of the loops have split.
Double loop holster is mail-order type sold by Sears and Montgomery Wards at the turn of the century and has been decorated with brads and
conchos. Finally is an original six point badge with brass overlaid Indian head on silver. Each point is decorated and reads “Apache Police / San
Carlos, Arizona” The back is stamped “CHIPRON STAMP CO./ 224 / W FIRST ST/ LOS ANGELES.” While there is a myriad of cheap fakes on
the market, the originals all have six points and have the manufacturer stamp while reproductions have five points and no address. The Apache
police at San Carlos was established in 1872 as a reservation for the Apache of southeast Arizona. Their first agent was John Clum, who is best
remembered as the first mayor of Tombstone from 1877, where he was friends with the Earps and Doc Holliday and was active at the time of the
gunfight at the OK Corral and the problems with the cowboys and the Earps, to the point where the cowboys tried to assassinate him. It was under
Clum’s Indian Agent tenure that they captured the famous warrior Geronimo. This ensemble came to us in this configuration but with no literal
history as to who, what, or when this outfit was assembled or used by. While the revolver shows typical hard Western usage and was favored by
the Indian police, we have no records of the serial numbers. The timeframe for the holster and belt can be anywhere at the turn of the last century
and we have no exact dating of the badge, although the company was established in 1892. That said, we wish we could offer more concrete
information, but all items are indeed authentic and it is quite possible that gun was from earlier and passed down and reused through several
generations, acquiring new holster and/or badge along the way. The set does have an excellent Western look. (Very Good). 4,000 - 6,000

1167 - (A)CASED PAIR OF EVANS PERCUSSION DERRINGERS.


SN NSN. Caliber approximately .46. Scarce Derringer set made by J.E. Evans of Philadelphia. Bbl is marked J.E. Evans Phila. Guns are German
silver mounted and have a peanut shaped escutcheon forward of trigger guard which holds bbl screw instead of having typical pin retained bbls
seen on most other Derringers. This is a scarce Derringer set not often seen with well engraved hammer, lock and bbl breech, along with engraved
German silver trigger guard and lock escutcheon plate. CONDITION: Guns are excellent overall and mechanically perfect. Metal is primarily
original brown finish and striping to bbl. Stocks retain deep cross hatching and much of their original varnish. Case is lined with original green
velvet with cut outs for mold, flasks, tools, caps, and cleaning rod. J.E. Evans was a prominent maker in Philadelphia known for his dueling pistols,
rifles and derringers. From the Collection of Gary Johnson. (Excellent). 3,000 - 5,000

1178 - EXCEPTIONAL ROBB CIGAR STORE INDIAN CHIEF.
28”L x 30”W x 78”T. This remarkable wood sculpture is one of the
finest compositional examples you will find of this art form; the cigar
store Indian trade sign. It is life size, and the subtle color palette
the artist used looks even better with the patina of time on it. He
is wearing a full headdress and what is probably a mountain lion
mantle on his shoulders. Most cigar store sculptures are very static,
whereas this Chief is relatively dynamically posed, canted forward
with one leg raised on a block, while shielding his eyes from the Sun.
In addition, the realism of the stoic face is a very real testament to the
sculptor’s technical skill. His left hand is holding a stack of tempting
tobacco products. A real find for the distinguished collector. Attributed

1224 - ORIGINAL BUTCH CASSIDY TIN TYPE PHOTOGRAPH.


Closed: 3-1/8”W x 3-3/4”T. Butch Cassidy, arguably one of the most
famous of all Western outlaws, was immortalized in the motion picture
“Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” with Paul Newman playing
Robert Leroy Parker, known as Butch Cassidy, and Robert Redford
played Harry Alonzo Longabaugh, known the Sundace Kid. But long
before Butch Cassidy had taken his alias and formed the gang known
worldwide as the Wild Bunch or the Hole In The Wall Gang, his life
of crime had been well underway. This original tin type in its original
gutta percha (Hinge Broken), is a photograph of four dapper young
men posed regally in a studio sans any visible weapons. The character
seated to the right is none other than Robert Leroy Parker as a young
outlaw pictured with three acquaintances. Cassidy, as we will now
refer to him, rode with a gang including his friends, Fred and George
McCarty and Matt Warner, who held up their first bank in 1889 in
Telluride, Colorado. Cassidy landed in prison for two years in 1894
and then, of course, went onto infamy with the Wild Bunch which
formed upon his release from prison. As heroically portrayed in the
motion picture, it is believed that Cassidy and Sundance met their end
at the hands of the military in Bolivia during a botched bank robbery.
This is undoubtedly the only known image of Robert Leroy Parker,
known as Butch Cassidy, as an adult prior to his imprisonment in 1894
and formation of the Hole in the Wall Gang. It is interesting to note
that Butch Cassidy had an affinity for bowler hats and is wearing one
in this photo and is oft seen photographed wearing bowler hats during
his Hole in the Wall Gang period. Some might refer to this as his
“rookie photo.” Open, 6-1/2”W x 3-3/4”T. (Very Good).

this saddle is seen on the original 1950’s lunchbox with Roy’s plastic
saddle on it. Those saddles were produced by All Western Plastics
headquartered in Lusk, Wyoming. It is widely known this was Roy’s
favorite Saddle, and most photographed plastic saddle he owned
and made famous in merchandise and images. Roy’s good friend
Art Emr loved it and asked Roy if he could have a copy made. Roy
said, “I’m honored and flattered that you want a saddle like mine,
but let’s make one that is your’s alone.” Instead of a direct copy of
the original saddle that had only the star accents, they added hearts
to the the new saddle so it was different from Roy’s just a bit. Textan
was commissioned to make it out of leather as All American Plastics
was now out of business. Manufactured in patriotic red, white, and
blue leather, with four red American eagles, two blue stars, red slotted
conchos with red latigos, and a
16” seat. It’s a stunning setup with

1373 - 1881 DOC HOLLIDAY AND MORGAN EARP “PICNIC” TINTYPE PHOTOGRAPH.
Tintype: 3-1/2” x 5”. Eye appealing early tintype, showing Doc Holliday and Morgan Earp with family and a group of people, with good clarity
and uncommon large size. The upper right of the photograph’s back side is very faintly marked 4/24/81, which, if not added at a later date by
coincidence would give cause for the pictured gathering being as April 24th was Morgan Earp’s birthday. Accompanied by a stamped advertising
envelope marked “Erwin Baer Photographer Prescott, AZ” in which the photo was found and an early page of the Sacramento Weekly Bee
offering an account of the gunfight at O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881, the page itself dated three days later. Also included is a copy of
forensic facial analysis done by Kent Gibson in 2018. Facial recognition strongly supports the likelihood that the picture does indeed show
John Henry “Doc” Holliday, his common law wife Kate Horony, aka Big Nose Kate, and Morgan Earp. We believe Morgan’s wife, Louisa Earp,
is also in the image. Although not mentioned in the forensic report the likelihood that she is sitting behind her husband in the photograph is very
strong, given the identities of the other three people in the image. Other documented images of Louisa Earp, bear an almost exact resemblance
to the woman in question. This is likely the only group image that Doc Holliday ever sat for that has been authenticated. This is also most likely
one of his last photographs taken in adulthood before he
died in 1887. At this stage in his life he was beginning to
show the advanced stages of tuberculosis. Therefore, Doc
would look markedly different in this image from his few
documented younger photos. Doc’s tuberculosis started after
he graduated from dental school in his early 20’s. As he
progressed in age, until the end of his life at 36, his physical Louisa Earp
appearance changed drastically. He lost most of his hair,
became increasingly grey, gaunt and sallow in appearance,
and looks in this photograph nothing like his early images
of a robust dark and strong man. We believe the piece to Big Nose Kate
be authentic based on evidence provided by the consignor. Morgan Earp

1374 - ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA 1870’S LAND DEED LEDGER WITH
SIX TRANSACTIONS OF LAND TO JOHN COFFEE HAYS - 1ST CAPTAIN OF
THE TEXAS RANGERS.
12-1/2” x 8-1/2”. This book is entitled “Land on Broadway
Street and San Jose Avenue, City of Alameda, County of
Alameda, State of California” with a stamp by the agent.
There are two interesting facets: there are 12 one to three
page entries dealing with land purchases and sales by John
Coffee Hays and/or his wife, Susan. John Coffee Hays is best
remembered as the Captain of the Texas Rangers from 1836
to 1848. This put him in Texas, in charge of the Texas Rangers,
at the time of Texas independence, the Goliad Massacre, The
Battle of San Jacinto and the most remembered, the defeat
of the Alamo; all in 1836. He remained captain through the
Mexican-American War in which California was absorbed into
the United States as part of the treaty. He became an Indian
Agent in 1849 through the territories of New Mexico and
Arizona. Upon retiring he moved to California, where he spent
the last 20+ years of his lives. He married Susan Calvert in
1847 and between then, did a great deal of land trading in
the 1860’s and 1870’s. One of the more interesting aspects of
this book is the dispersion of the famous Rancho San Antonio;
16,000 acres rented to Luis Peralta, for his valiant service in
the Mexican Army, and the land was granted to him in 1820
by the last Spanish Governor of California. He eventually
divided this land between his four sons but problems resulted
when California became part of the United states after the
1848 war with Mexico; the sons continued to live there and a
large hacienda built by one of the sons in 1870 is still there. By
the time the last son died, they had lost all but 23 acres of the
original land grant. You can still visit the hacienda today. There
is legal paperwork at the beginning of this book which details
the dispersment of this land, beginning in 1820 to the 1874
court challenge United States of America to Antonio Peralta by LOT - 1376 LOT - 1377
President U.S. Grant recorded September 15th, 1874. Nine
pages to tracing the various court cases detailing the United States raping of the Rancho San Antonio. This is some interesting book dealing with
