Colt Model 1862 Pocket .36 Cal Police Revolver

Lot #71 (Sale Order 70 of 758)

Included in this lot is a Colt five-shot .36 caliber percussion Model 1862 Police Revolver. This very fine example with 5 1/2" long round barrel. It bears the serial number 49971 which is matching on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder and arbor. The Model 1862 was a popular weapon that bridged the gap between the small .31 caliber pocket model Colt and the larger and more cumbersome full size Army and Navy holster revolvers. It made a fine belt revolver or could be carried concealed under a coat. One of the best descriptions of the Colt1862 Police revolver is presented by Norm Flayderman in his classic work Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms: “The Model 1862 Police is considered by many collectors as the ultimate in streamline design by Colt’s factory in the percussion period. Due to slow sales and the demand for metallic cartridge arms, several thousand of the late production of the Model 1862 Police and the Pocket Navy were converted from percussion to cartridge use. The result has been to add to the desirability of these arms in their original cap and ball configuration.” With only approximately 50,000 of this model in all forms being produced over 150 years ago, surviving examples are scarce, especially in this fine state of preservation and originality. This becomes apparent when compared to the numbers produced by other models: Colt Model1849- approx. 300,000; Colt Model1851- over 215,000; Colt Model1860- approx 200,500. The Model 1862 was made with one piece walnut grips and those on this example are exceptional, retaining perfect fit, no chips and showing almost all of the original varnish finish. The brass back strap and trigger guard also show strong traces of the original silver plate that has never been polished. The case hardened frame also retains traces of original case color as does the hammer and rammer. The cylinder and barrel show an attractive aged blue patina with fine deep blue in the protected areas and under the rammer on the barrel. All markings are exceptionally clear including the small “36 CAL” stamping on the left rear side of the trigger guard, “Colts Patent” stamping on the left side of the frame and “ADDRESS COL. SAMl COLT NEW-YORK U. S. AMERICA” on the barrel top. Stamped within one of the cylinder flutes is “PAT SEPT. 10th 1850.” Mechanically this revolver is as tight and functional as the day it left the factory. The rifled bore is excellent and the rear of the cylinder retains all of the “safety holding pins” between each nipple which are usually found broken. These delicate pins allow the shooter to carry the revolver fully loaded with the hammer safely down and secured from movement on one of the pins between loaded chambers. There is a corresponding cut-out on the face of the hammer to encase the pin securely when the hammer is down and keep the cylinder from slipping or turning to a loaded chamber. Even the tiny conical brass front sight is intact on this rare revolver. Like the “safety pins” between each chamber on the back of the cylinder, the front sights on this model are usually found broken or missing. The screw heads in the frame, rammer, trigger guard and butt are all in excellent condition with many still retaining their original Colt blue finish! A truly excellent example of a Colt Model 1862 police revolver. The revolver qualifies as an Antique or Black Powder Handgun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. This is an original Colt from the factory and is from the Colt Black Powder Series. Serial Number: 49971

"The Indian Coast" Signed Silkscreen by E. Bennett

Lot #98 (Sale Order 97 of 758)

"For your consideration is a signed original, ""The Indian Coast"" by Elton Bennett, a silkscreen or what he called ""the gentle art of serigraph."" In the painting, the native boats have reef nets spread onto the two boats and the shoreline, the fishermen are sitting close to a fire on a dune and appear to be praying as was and still is customary before and after a fish harvest. Silk screen printing was artist Elton Bennett's chosen medium. Using silkscreens allowed him to vary the work by changing the colors and recombining or reusing elements to the point where a work was never finished and continually evolving - he could always tinker with it and improve it more. For example, a catalog of his artwork might include multiple images of a scene such as ""Around the Cape"" using different color pallets, such as blues, gold, greens, etc. or the same middle-background sailing ship may appear in multiple scenes such as ""Down to the Sea"", ""Return to the River"", and ""Forest of Spars"". The coast of the Pacific Northwest, the sea, ships, and landscapes that Bennett grew up with and worked among were his primary subjects. People are relatively rare, and almost never the main subject, appearing as silhouettes on shore or on a ship. Often the rain and weather of the north pacific coast are nearly as prominent as the main subject. These elements often contribute to a peaceful loneliness in the images. The subjects also very much reflect the technology of the early period of his life. Tall ships, steam ships and old lumber mills are often featured in his prints. Sometimes the transition in technology is represented, as with the steam tug-boat pulling the sailing ship in ""Down to the Sea"" or the inboard-powered, double-ended fishing troller passing the schooner going the opposite direction in ""Journey into Silence"".

Winchester Model 1876 .45-60 Lever Action Rifle

"This is a rare high grade original Winchester 1876 Model .45-60 caliber sporting rifle, serial number 35941, made in 1883. The Model 1876 was Winchester’s first truly big bore repeating rifle.

Winchester Rare Expert .22 Pump Rifle

Lot #108 (Sale Order 107 of 758)

Winchester rare “Expert” variant .22 Short, long and Long rifle plump action “Boys’ Rifle.” The Model was a scaled down version of the popular full sized Model 1890 pump rifle. It was intended as suitable for young boys and girls during the first half of the last century. Nearly all of the Models had straight or “non-pistol grip” stocks and either smooth or grooved forends (pumps). The seldom seen “Expert” Model was a more deluxe version that sported a pistol grip stock and the distinctive and jaunty “clothes pin” forend that flairs at each end. When most boys were lucky to have an inexpensive single shot .22 Rim Fire rifle, few had the luxury or having a pump action repeater, and still fewer yet would be given the deluxe “Expert” repeating Model rifle! Like most boys’ rifles of the period, those that have survived to the present time show hard use and often abuse. As is often said with “tongue in cheek,” these rifles were simply loved to death. Hence, it is difficult to find any Winchester Model in fine condition and even more so for an Expert Model . Additionally, the .22 ammunition of the Pre-World War I and II eras was highly corrosive and unless the bore was cleaned immediately after shooting, rust and pitting would occur. This example has a surprisingly excellent bright bore. It has matching serial numbers on the receiver and barrel assembly of 623398. The Model ‘06 was a takedown design in which the rifle could easily be broken into two parts by simply unscrewing the knurled screw on the left side of the receiver. Special canvas cases were available for the two halves to fit for attaching to bicycles. This fine rifle has an excellent stock with the original Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plate and showing very tight wood to metal fit. The forend is equally excellent. The blued finish on these boys’ rifles was of a lesser quality than applied to more expensive center fire hunting rifles, like the Model 1894 etc. Therefore the blue finish on the barrel, magazine tube and receiver wore and flaked quickly and is rarely found intact. This 102 year old Model ‘06 still displays fine receiver blue that is fairly evenly mixing with natural aged plum/blue patina. Similarly, the barrel and magazine assembly share this attractive coloring. The barrel and upper tang markings on the receiver are sharp and clear as is the caliber designation on the rear of the correct 20” barrel. The 1901 patent dated rear buckhorn sight is original as is the small Winchester blade front sight. Overall, a most attractive and rare Winchester .22 model in uncleaned condition with an equally rare excellent bore! Serial Number: 623398.

Sharps Model 1878 Borchardt Hammerless 45-70 Rifle

Lot #109 (Sale Order 108 of 758)

"Historic, documented western shipped Sharps Model 1878 Borchardt Hammerless rifle in .45-70 caliber. The Model 1878 was invented by Hugo Borchardt and manufactured by the Sharps Rifle Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. This was the final variation of the famed single shot rifles made by that firm which was noted for percussion military carbines and rifles of the pre and post-Civil War eras as well as the big cartridge firing “Buffalo Rifles” of the plains and eastern target ranges. Hugo Borchardt was a talented arms inventor who went on to create one of the very first semi-automatic or self-loading pistols. The Sharps Borchardt rifle was used in the last portion of the buffalo era which ended in approximately 1883 and it is also an interesting fact that Theodore Roosevelt owned and used Sharps Borchardt rifles in Maine as well as in the West. When the Sharps Company went out of business in approximately 1880-1881, J. P. Lower of Denver, Colorado purchased their remaining stock of rifles and parts. In this large purchase were the final 1878 Borchardt Rifles to leave the Sharps factory. J. P. Lower had a large gun shop and sporting goods outlet in Denver. He was a major dealer of Sharps Rifles and supplied a good portion of the rifles used in the great buffalo hunts of the 1870s-1883 period. Until recently, Sharps Borchardt rifles occasionally observed with a circle “LB” cartouche in the stock were a mystery to historians and collectors. However, documents have recently come to light that prove this stock stamping was done by J. P. Lower and indicated that these were the last Sharps rifles made and retailed from his Denver, Colorado store. The “LB” simply stood for “Lower Borchardt.” An article just published by the Sharps Collectors Association titled, “The Mystery of the LB Stamped Borchardt Rifle” by Darrin L. Lowery, Ph. D. explains the details of these interesting western Sharps rifles and a copy of the article is included with this rifle. The Sharps Rifle shipping records are still in existence and although incomplete, often can be used to identify where a rifle was originally shipped from the factory. The records do not exist for most of the Borchardt line, but having the LB cartouche in the stock identifies any such rifles as being shipped to Denver, Colorado in 1880. Among Sharps collectors, those rifles identified as shipped to western locations are the most desirable

C. 1890 Victorian 14K Gold & Citrine Ring

Lot #259 (Sale Order 255 of 758)

For your consideration is a circa 1890 antique Victorian 14k gold and citrine ring. Citrine is the yellow variety of quartz, and its name comes from the Old French word for lemon. Its warm colour is said to be a gift from the sun, making this golden gemstone the perfect option for brightening up a typically chilly autumnal month. Citrine has been a popular decorative gemstone since ancient times. The Aesthetic Period of Victorian jewelry can be defined as one of reaction against previous jewelry periods. Victorians became disillusioned with fashions and furnishings and sought a way out of the conventions of the past, moving toward a time of more refined artistic taste. The jewelry was lighter and on a smaller scale than in previous years. Weighty Victorian brooches were replaced by smaller pins scattered on the bodice of a dress and diamond brooches were often worn in the hair for evening. Small stud earrings were desirable as the latest Victorian hairstyles exposed the ears. Soft curves and natural shapes with more delicate coloring were the result of this overreaction to the past. Gemstones were cut en cabochon with a preference for amethysts, emeralds, and opals. C.R. Ashbee, a leader in the Arts and Crafts movement, was one of these new designers. Coming from the belief that jewelry should be designed for its intrinsic beauty and not its intrinsic value, Ashbee used pink topaz and amethysts set in dull silver or gray gold. Other jewelers followed suit. This ring has two (2) cabochon cut Palmeria coloured citrine stones, a nice warm papaya orange hue, centered on a vintage Victorian ring created in the Arts and Craft motif that became very popular at the end of the Victorian fashion period known as the Aesthetic Period (1885-1901). No marring noted to the ring or stones.

Higgins Avenue and Main Street, Missoula, Mont,"". The map shows each road in the city at the time as well as the block numbers, names of neighborhood additions, and uses the former name of the Clark Fork River, Missoula River, which flows through the middle of the city. Also shown are the rail tracks for the now defunct Missoula & Bitter Root Valley Railway which was first punched into the valley when silver was discovered in the mountains near what is today the town of Victor. The first inhabitants of the Missoula area were American Indians from the Salish tribe. They called the area ""Nemissoolatakoo,"" from which ""Missoula"" is derived. The word translates roughly to ""river of ambush/surprise,"" a reflection of the inter-tribal fighting common to the area. Missoula became a trading center in earnest, distributing produce and grain grown in the agriculturally prosperous Bitterroot Valley. The city's success was aided by two other factors. First was the opening of the University of Montana in September 1895, serving as the center of public higher education for Western Montana. Then, in 1908, Missoula became a regional headquarters for the Forest Service, which began training smokejumpers in 1942. The Aerial Fire Depot was built in 1954, and big industry came to Missoula in 1956, with the groundbreaking for the first pulp mill.

Hudson's Bay Four Point Red Trade Blanket

Lot #451 (Sale Order 447 of 758)

"For your consideration is this red Hudson's Bay Company, four-point trade wool blanket. This blanket, which shows the company tag and original construction, was made in England. This is a red wool blanket with two large stripes of black dye on both sides of the blanket. Although the Hudson's Bay Company didn't originate the point system for trade blankets, they popularized this system of quality identification. At first, one point equaled one beaver pelt. In the North American fur trade, by 1700, wool blankets accounted for more than 60 per cent of traded goods. French fur-trader Germain Maugenest is thought to have advised the HBC to introduce point blankets. By the early 1700s, the blankets represented more than half of the items traded for animal hides. Points are short black lines woven into the selvage of the blanket along the edge just above the bottom set of stripes. The point system was invented by French weavers in the mid-1700s since then, as now, blankets were shrunk as part of the manufacturing process. This wonderful blanket is in good condition with minimal wear noted. The measurements of this Hudson's Bay Trade blanket are 66""W x 88.5""L.

In this important work, Queeny documents the motions of ducks wintering over in the pin oak flats of Arkansas - in particular, Nature's most wondrous evolution - the wings of birds' illustrated with the photographs and sketches of Richard E. Bishop. Because of the mechanical and chemical limitations of lens and film, the means of presenting flight photographically is still unequal to the beauty of birds and the easy grace with which flight is performed. Nevertheless, photography is able to detect action that escapes the most intent eye; and by recording positions taken in the slightest instants, we are helped to understand flight and the gravity-defying instruments of flight. Book has brown lettering to front cover and spine with the Ducks Unlimited gilt embossed medallion on the front cover, pictorial endpapers, full color frontispiece with tissue guard, illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs and drawings. Book is in good condition with limited wear to the cover from normal usage, pages show slight foxing throughout, personal sentiment written on back of frontispiece, measures 12.25""L x 9..25""W x 1.25""D

Signed Limited Edition Arthur R. Macdougall Book

Lot #608 (Sale Order 604 of 758)

"Presented in this lot is the signed Limited Edition (#47 of 450) book, ""Dud Dean And His Country"", by Arthur R. Macdougall. Macdougal, who won many friends and admirers through the pages of Field & Stream magazine in the 1920s and 1930s, has become a legendary figure in Maine sporting fiction through his collections of short stories on fly fishing featuring the famous fictional character and Maine Guide, Dud Dean. Mak, as Macdougall was known by his friends, was a constant presence in the Dud Dean stories and told them in the first person. In typical fashion, he and Dud would often be out on some trout water, or headed that way, and Dud would get to telling stories. Dud was an incredible story teller, but not because he stretched the truth. On the contrary, Dud’s honesty was refreshing. It was the way he described the setting and the people in his stories, in the unexpected clarity of his somewhat broken Maine dialect, that made them so appealing. In any Dud Dean tale, Macdougall had the uncanny ability to really make you feel like you were there, in the Maine woods, walking alongside Dud, Mak, and their companions. In addition, the era in which these stories were based adds even more appeal. Reaches of the Kennebec River, area streams, lakes and ponds were described in a time when roads, houses, dams and other signs of encroaching civilization were much less pronounced. Most places required a train ride or long walk from Bingham for a day’s fishing. Even though cars began to arrive on the local scene, roads on which to drive them were scarce. Waterways were still a major means of transportation, including the shipment of millions of logs downriver to the mills. And, at least in the Dud Dean stories, the fishing was much, much better.

Because the range was open and cattle left on their own, they would be prey to packs of wolves and coyotes. Horses were still respected as a means of transportation and the area was plentiful with Native Americans still richly steeped in their own culture, lending to the inspiration of her work. Among her numerous awards are Best of Show-Sculpture at the Celebration of Western Art Show in Olympia, Washington and First and Second places at the 1986 and 1987 Arizona Annual Art Shows. She was commissioned to create bronze and limited-edition prints celebrating the Washington State Centennial; the city of Yelm purchased one of these pieces for installation in the City Hall. The condition of this oil on canvas is good with no obvious signs of damage and in good overall condition. The measurements of this oil on canvas are 24" x 18".

The life of the frontier range, as I have known it since childhood, is no more. The thousands of cattle trailed from the southern ranges to those of the north, have been divided into small herds and in the place of the long-horned, slim-bodied, racy looking dogie of the yesteryears, we find the slick, red, short-horned, well bred, slow-moving, harmless steer."

"The Bloody Bozeman", By Dorothy Johnson

Lot #672 (Sale Order 667 of 758)

"Included in this lot is the 1st Edition book, ""The Bloody Bozeman: The Perilous Trail to Montana's Gold"", by Dorothy M. Johnson, edited and hailed by A. B. Guthrie Jr. as ""among the very best in the American Trail series."" Using many old journals, diaries, letters and pioneers' reminiscences, Johnson has re-created the story of this Trail, marked in 1863 by John Bozeman and John Jacobs, which went right through the Indians' last remaining great hunting country. And it was the Sioux Indians, under the great chief Red Cloud, who fought for every mile. This is a great saga of the Old West, an account filled with the struggles against nature, the battles between red man and white, of victories and defeats, of the discovery of gold, and the hangings of road agents by Vigilantes. Here too is the story of the mysterious death of General Francis Meagher, and the heroic ride of Portuguese Phillip. The Bozeman Trail led to the goldfields of Montana for six years in the 1860s before the army abandoned its three forts along the way, yielding to Red Cloud and his warriors. The Bloody Bozeman weaves an ""almost seamless"" pattern of destiny and adventure.

Marysville Montana Historical Newspapers 1890s

Lot #673 (Sale Order 668 of 758)

"Featured in this lot is a collection of more than thirty-five (35) historical newspapers of The Mountaineer from Marysville, Montana which date from 1897 to 1906. Marysville was a bustling mining town in the 1880s and 1890s and was the center of gold mining in Montana. The story of the Drumlummon Mine is the story of the town. Total production from Drumlummon is estimated to have been $50,000,000. The town had something very unique for a mining camp-a baseball field with bleachers that still stands albeit its age and weathered appearance. At its peak, Marysville was a hub for all the smaller mining locales, with two railroad lines, 26 bars, at least seven hotels and a brewery. Estimates are upwards of 5,500 people called the town home, with 10,000 living in the greater area, but beginning in the ’20s it was thought that the gold had run out, and those seeking a fortune moved on to greener pastures or richer mountains. The early newspapers are chock full of period advertising including clothiers, groceries, hardware and lumber, and ""cure-all medicines"" such as ""Shiloh's Cough and Consumption Cure"", ""DeWitt's Early Risers"", Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy"", and ""Dr. King's New Life Pills"", as well as news about local mines and opinion pieces. Until 1904, the newspaper was titled, ""A Weekly Newspaper, Devoted to the Local and Mining Interests of the People of Montana"", but in 1906 it was titled, ""A Republican Newspaper Published in the Interests of the Plain People, Owing Allegiance to No Corporation, Faction or Individual."" Paid advertising appears to have dropped off considerably with the new format.

Vintage American Brilliant Lead Cut Glass Pitcher

Lot #705 (Sale Order 700 of 758)

"In this lot is an American Brilliant Cut Glass Lead Crystal Water Pitcher. The American Brilliant period was from 1876 to 1917. From about 1876 until the advent of World War 1, American cut glass craftsmen excelled all others worldwide, and produced examples of the cut glass art that may never again be equaled. Stunning new patterns quite unlike earlier European designs were developed and patented. Patterns were given intriguing names, and leading glass houses began advertising campaigns urging collection of whole sets of goblets, tumblers, wine glasses and finger bowls in the new designs. Cutting shops proliferated to meet the demand for fine pieces of cut glass being sought by wealthy American households. America's Brilliant cut glass is appropriately named, for that is literally what it is. The cutting is brilliant because it is sharp and deep, reflecting light from highly polished surfaces. It is deep because it was made from leaded crystal that was beautiful in its clarity even though thick enough to be cut in high relief. Imaginative designers improved upon traditional motifs, arranging them in varying ways to provide for optimum reflective surfaces.

"The Banditti Of The Plains" By A.S. Mercer

Lot #708 (Sale Order 703 of 758)

"For your consideration is the first edition book, ""The Banditti of the Plains or the Cattlemen's Invasion of Wyoming in 1892"" by Asa Shinn Mercer, publisher Geoge Fields 1935. The book is a highly controversial and partisan account of the Johnson County Cattle War of 1892, which pitted small homesteaders against larger ranchers for grazing rights. Most of the copies and the printing plates were destroyed by irate cattlemen, who thought they were unfairly depicted in the book. The first edition of the book is one of the rarities of western Americana. Immediately after it was printed, the Wyoming cattlemen objected and sued. The court ordered it destroyed. While the books were in the court's custody, a number were stolen and smuggled to Denver and later bound. For many years, the Wyoming Stockgrowers' Association, their sympathizers, and their descendants destroyed every copy they came across. Surviving copies are rare, and in 2016 copies were listed for prices between $1,250 and $6000. The second edition simply disappeared somewhere between Denver, Colorado, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, and the Wyoming Stock Growers Association was rumored to have hijacked and destroyed the second printing as it was being shipped. Mercer saw his printing press in Cheyenne burned down; he was harassed, arrested, jailed and had the plates of his book destroyed. His writings were seized in the mails as obscenity; his business was ruined. Mercer's main views of the Johnson County War were ultimately proved true, and never again did the cattle barons attempt to invade Wyoming.

Great Northern built hotels and backcountry chalets, and provided transportation by bus, boat, and horseback along with meals and lodging. In the middle of the brochure is a lovely and intriguing map of Glacier National Park in Montana and Waterton Lake Park in Alberta, Canada. The map was made to promote travel to the two parks by way of the Great Northern Railway.

The Great Northern's route was the northernmost transcontinental railroad route in the U.S. This map was created with an appearance liking to that of a watercolor painting. Depth is given by way of mountain peaks, rivers, valleys, and lakes. Auto roads and trails distinguish routes one can take when exploring the two parks.
