Winchester 1894 RARE 38-55 Saddle Ring Carbine

Lot #37 (Sale Order 37 of 752)

Winchester 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine in rare and desirable .38-55 caliber, serial number 338518, made in 1907. This is the classic, early 1894 Carbine that was popular with the Klondike gold seekers, Texas Rangers, cowboys, ranchers, big game hunters and Mexican Revolutionaries. One of the best of the Jonathan Browning designs; this model is still respected and used today. The standard caliber for the famed Model 1894 rifle and carbine was .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire; AKA .30-30 Winchester). The .38-55 caliber is rarely encountered in rifles and even more rarely found in saddle ring carbine configuration. This fine 116 year old example still retains good lightly aged blue on the barrel and magazine tube. It has the carbine bead front sight and sports a buckhorn rear barrel sight with elevator bar. The receiver still retains some nice original blue around the saddle ring with the balance aged gray with good screw heads and fine blue on the protected loading gate. It has a tight action, lock-up, strong springs and a solid safety half-cock on the hammer. The bore is fairly bright with fine rifling all the way through. The butt stock and forearm show normal handling along with some honest saddle wear to the forearm ahead of the receiver, and tight wood to metal fit. The barrel displays correct, clear Winchester address markings and patent dates. The upper tang also has correct “MODEL 1894” over “Winchester” etc. markings. The Winchester 1894 saddle ring carbine is an iconic carbine from the turbulent days of the early part of the 20th century. This 1894 Carbine has great character, visual appeal and is especially scarce and desirable being chambered for the big .38-55 cartridge. Firearm classifies as a Curio and Relic or Modern Firearm and requires an FFL transfer or NICS background check.

Remington Model 1889 16 Gauge Damascus Shotgun

Lot #38 (Sale Order 38 of 752)

Particularly fine condition Remington Model 1889 hammer double barrel shotgun in extremely rare 16 gauge. Considered one of the finest shotguns of the period, the Remington Model 1889 proved popular through the 1890s. Almost the entire production was 10 and 12 gauge with very few manufactured in 16 ga. Offered from plain to fancy grades, this example with serial number 94082 sports a checkered pistol grip stock and forend, case colored action and fancy Damascus barrels with solid rib. The forend also has a fancy inletted steel release lever. Frequently, these pre-20th century shotguns are found in very hard used and often abused condition. This outstanding example still retains some good aged case colors on the upper and lower receiver as well as on the lock plates. Finding any original case color is unusual and desirable. The high grade Damascus patterns are vivid and run the full length of the 30” barrels with excellent sharp matting on the rib. The top of the barrels in front of the breech is marked “REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, NY USA” and each side lock plate are also marked “REMINGTON ARMS CO.” The stock and forend show fine checkering with the forend displaying a fancy factory inletted horn forend cap. The wood is solid and in generally excellent condition. The butt stock is fitted with the correct factory hard rubber checkered butt plate with the attractive Remington logo embossed in the upper center. The action is extremely tight with no play between the barrels and receiver. Both hammers function perfectly with their corresponding triggers. Amazingly, both bores are mirror bright with no pitting or corrosion, which is unusual for any shotgun from this period. One of the most well-built and expensive shotguns of the 1890s period, the Remington was considered a top choice for any wealthy sportsman with deep pockets. During this time, America was flooded with fairly inexpensive European made shotguns. Sold through such catalogs as Sears & Roebuck, the average farmer, rancher, hunter and pioneer could have a durable shotgun… but not a Remington, which was in a class by itself and out of reach for most Americans of the time. These Remington made double guns are quite scarce now and are rarely found in the state of preservation of this example. Finding one in limited production 16 gauge is nearly impossible, especially in this fine condition with mirror bright bores! This is an Antique Firearm, NO FFL.

This is an exceedingly rare Smith and Wesson factory target sighted 32-20 caliber Hand Ejector Model 1905, 3rd Change revolver with factory S&W medallion pearl grips. There were a number of “changes” in the .32-20 Hand Ejector Model 1905 series that was made until World War II. The 3rd change occurred only from 1909-1915 in the serial range of 45201-65700. This example is serial numbered 46910 and is no doubt a first year, 1909 production revolver. Of the entire .32-20 Hand Ejector series, very few revolvers were specially fitted with adjustable target rear sights and target blade front sights. Almost all of these revolvers were produced with a simple grooved top strap above the cylinder for sighting. This same model was made in more numerous quantities in .38 Special caliber with examples in .32-20 scarce. Target sighted .32-20 revolvers are considered rare and desirable. This example has matching serial numbers on the frame (butt), cylinder and barrel. Next to the serial number on the butt is a five pointed star stamping indicating that this revolver was returned to S&W for refinishing. Under the grips, stamped on the side of the frame, is “2.15” indicating that this revolver was refinished by S&W in February of 1915. The revolver retains about all of the high polish blue finish and the mellow genuine pearl grips with “deep-dish” S&W medallions that fit perfectly and are not chipped or cracked (To S&W collectors these grips by themselves are worth a considerable sum especially in this excellent condition). All markings are legible -with the barrel address and patents on the top and “32 WINCHESTER CTG” (.32-20) on the side. Often the .32-20 caliber revolvers were paired with a Winchester or Marlin rifle chambered for the same cartridge. The .32-20 was considered an outdoorsman’s caliber and examples are usually found in very hard used and often abused condition. This one is mechanically excellent with fine bore showing sharp rifling. This is a most rare and attractive early 114 year old S&W double action revolver that is seldom seen in target variation with medallion pearl grips. Serial Number: 46910. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.*

1950-60s "Sandy Horse" Mechanical Coin-Op Ride

Lot #62 (Sale Order 62 of 752)

Featured in this lot is a 1950-1960s "Sandy Horse" coin operated mechanical ride. The ride appears to work. James Otto Hahs created the first mechanical horse in 1931, when he constructed one as a Christmas present for his children. The ride was well-liked by the kids, and he immediately saw the necessity to market his innovation. As the original version's wood-carved horses proved to be excessively heavy, Hahs switched to casting aluminum models. The Hahs Gaited Mechanical Horse was recognized for its design and creation in 1932. By the 1950s, "kiddie rides" were one of the fastest-growing industries in America. This horse shows a green metal base with a black rubber rubber slip mat on top and sheet metal on the front and back end of the base. The horse itself shows a beige base color with a black mane and tail. It has a genuine leather saddle, bridle and martingale and features wood and leather stirrups. On one side of the ride is a green painted coin bank where you pay for the ride. The lettering has been worn off and only shows remnants of yellow paint. The ride is in good working order. The horse shows good condition for its vintage age, but it has areas of worn paint and wear from years of use. The ride measures 72" L x 30 1/2" W x 56 1/4" H.* The ride will function when a small metal coin catch is activated when the door is open.

Winchester 1892 44-40 Special Order "Short Rifle"

Lot #73 (Sale Order 73 of 752)

Unusual and extremely rare Winchester 1892 .44-40 special 20” half-octagon barrel “Short Rifle” with non-standard half magazine. This rifle with serial number 283203 was made in 1905. According to the standard reference The Winchester Handbook by George Madis, of the over one million Model 1892 Winchesters made, only 1,179 had barrels shorter than the standard 24” length. Additionally, only 613 were produced with half-octagon barrels (of all lengths). Madis lists special shorter magazines as being provided on only 2,740 Model 1892 rifles and carbines combined. Taken together, production figures of a rifle in .44-40 caliber with a special half-magazine, combined with a special 20” length, combined with a special half-octagon barrel configuration is almost too rare to accurately number. Importantly, the walnut forend on this rifle measures 8 3/8” long compared to the forearm on a standard 24” length barrel Model 1892 which measures one inch longer at 9 3/8.” These short forearms are only used on special “Short Rifles” and are a major indication that the barrel has not been cut on this example. The overall condition of this interesting rifle is very fine. The receiver shows a deep aged blue overall that appears never to have been cleaned or enhanced. There is brighter blue on the protected loading gate. All markings on the upper tang and barrel are clear and distinct. The attractive barrel blue has similarly aged and shows some mixing with a natural and uncleaned brown. It is fitted with a classic buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact along with a small blade/bead front sight. The stock and forearm show only normal light handling with fine wood to metal fit, indicating that the stock and forearm are free from sanding or refinishing. The action is crisp and tight with a solid half-cock safety notch on the hammer. The bore shows good rifling with only scattered light roughness. The .44-40 caliber (.44 W.C.F.- Winchester Center Fire) was the largest caliber offered in the Model 1892 and is the most difficult to locate and is the most desirable caliber in the collecting field today. The Model 1892 was a favorite of frontiersmen who wanted to pair their big .44-40 caliber revolvers with a rifle or carbine. This unusual Short Rifle recently came out of Arizona where it very well may have been used on either side of the border during the Mexican Revolution. If a Winchester collector wanted to add a .44-40 caliber Model 1892 20” short rifle with half-octagon barrel and half-magazine to his collection, this might be the only opportunity. There cannot be more than a small handful of Model 1892s like this one. A prize for any Winchester, Old West or Mexican Revolution collection. This firearm classifies as a Curio and Relic or Modern firearm and requires an FFL or NICS background check.

Factory Stock for Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver

Lot #74 (Sale Order 74 of 752)

RARELY OFFERED, FACTORY SHOULDER STOCK FOR THE FAMED COLT MODEL 1851 NAVY REVOLVER. This one is in the correct serial range for these, #79497, which puts its production date at 1857. Most of these shoulder stocked revolvers were sold on the civilian market (this one was made 4 years before the beginning of the Civil War) and this example has fancy '"fiddle-back" striped grain to the walnut. It may have been part of a deluxe cased set at one time. The serial number is correctly stamped just behind the bottom clamp in the brass and has the correct sling swivel. By looking carefully, one can detect an oval wood inlay in the bottom of the stock about 3 inches from the butt plate. It is possible there was once a silver or brass presentation or identification plate that was removed that was done so professionally well that it is hard to detect. Overall, it displays mellow, aged brass fittings and butt plate. The excellent wood fits well and is dark with grime from age that could use a good clean to reveal more of the fancy grained walnut. Fine steel adjustment wheel and bottom clamp. Shoulder stocks turned percussion revolvers into short, six-shot carbines with greater accuracy and longer range potential. They were highly regarded and highly coveted during their time of use. The Colt Model 1851 stock is considerably more scarce than the Model 1851 cut-for-stock revolver itself. Finding such a stock is extremely difficult, especially one in this fine state of preservation with all brass and steel fittings intact plus built with high-grade fancy walnut. A rare Colt and a rare offering. NO FFL.

Seeburg Piano Company was established in Chicago, Illinois, in 1902; it started making coin-operated phonographs in the 1920s. In the 1930s and 1940s, Seeburg established itself as a market leader in the jukebox business and was renowned for its cutting-edge designs and excellent sound systems. The 1936 release of the Seeburg Symphonola "B" 12 record jukebox made it one of the company's most well-known models. The Symphonola "B" model carried on Seeburg's popular Symphonola line, which had a special mechanism that permitted continuous play of up to 12 records. For its time, the Seeburg Symphonola "B" 12 record jukebox was an engineering marvel. The machine could hold up to 12 records at once and had a sophisticated mechanism that enabled automatic record selection. The machine had a cutting-edge sound system as well, with speakers that produced rich, clear sound and a strong amplifier to further better the sound. Seeburg changed the focus of its manufacturing during World War II to produce items for the war effort, and following the end of the war, the business encountered escalating competition from other jukebox producers. But Seeburg kept coming up with new ideas and making excellent jukeboxes well into the 1950s and 1960s. They serve as a reminder of the heyday of jukeboxes and American popular music, and are valued today for their distinctive designs and excellent sound systems. The jukebox shows a beautiful art-deco wood design with a clear glass sheet in the front to showcase the automatic record selection and lights to show which number record was playing.

Smith & Wesson No. 3 Revolver Rare 38-40 Caliber

Lot #108 (Sale Order 108 of 752)

Smith & Wesson New Model No.3 revolver in exceptionally rare .38-40 caliber, two digit serial number of 18. The standard caliber's for this model were .44 Russian and, to a limited degree .44-40. With only 74 produced, the .38-40 chambering was such a limited offering that Smith & Wesson considered is a separate model and serial numbered it in its own range from 1 – 74. Even most advanced Smith & Wesson collectors have never seen an actual example of this revolver. They are discussed in Smith & Wesson books, but are not pictured as examples were not available to photograph. While these revolvers were offered from 1900 – 1907, all frames were made pre-1899 and are therefore antique and can be purchased without an FFL or C&R license. This particular revolver with serisl niumber 18 is further unusual and incredibly rare because it has a factory 5” barrel! The most detailed information on this model is in the book The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 2016, 4th edition, by Jim Supica and Richard Nahas: “New Model Number Three .38 Winchester caliber- single action revolver built on a top-break frame, 4” or 6 ½” barrel lengths, 5” also known, blue or nickel finish, black hard rubber grips on a round butt, service or target sights, round blade front sight. Because of the cartridge used, this model has a longer top-strap with a 1 9/16” cylinder. Most marked ‘38 Winchester Ctg.’ One of the rarest production models. Serial number range 1 to 74, with the 74 firearms manufactured circa 1900-1907. Value: Too Rare to price. Most speciens would probably change hands in the four – to low five figure range. A very few auction sales noted over the last five years, with two refinished examples selling at $3,700 and $4,600, and two VG to fine examples at $8,000 and $9200.” This model was an attempt to offer frontiersmen a revolver with a matching caliber to the popular lever action rifles of the period in this caliber. Of those few that survive today, most have either been refinished or are in poor condition. This revolver, has the rare 5” barrel that is original and not cut along with the correct 1 9/16” cylinder and “38 WINCHESTER CTG” on the left side of the barrel as well as the correct Smith & Wesson address and patent dates on top. The barrel, barrel latch, cylinder and frame all carry the matching serial number 18. This fine example shows fine blue in the cylinder flutes and on all the more protected areas of the frame and barrel assembly with the balance a soft blue/brown patina that appears uncleaned. Fine grips fit perfectly. Mechanically sound and with a fine bore, this exceedingly rare revolver would be the center piece of any advanced S&W collection. Antique Firearm, NO FFL.

This outstanding example shows fine deep blue on both the barrel and magazine.

Indian Why Stories 1st Ed. Linderman, C.M. Russell

Lot #136 (Sale Order 136 of 752)

Presented in this lot is a Rare First Edition of "Indian Why Stories: Sparks from War Eagle's Lodge-Fire" by Frank B. Linderman, 1915, Special Edition, illustrated by Charles Russell. The book is a renowned collaboration between Linderman and Russell who were good friends. Old-man, or Napa, as he was called by the Blackfeet, is an extraordinary character in Indian stories. Both powerful and fallible, he appears in different guises: god or creator, fool, thief, clown. The world he made is marvelous but filled with mistakes. As a result, tensions between the haves and have-nots explode with cosmic consequences in Indian Why Stories. Elders of the Blackfeet, Cree, and Chippewa (Ojibwa) people shared these wonderful tales with Frank B. Linderman in the late nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century. War Eagle (the fictional name of Linderman’s friend and Chippewa medicine man Pah-nah-to, or Full-of-dew), tells these stories to attentive youngsters after the first frost in the fall. He speaks of animal people, including a deer and an antelope in a footrace, a dancing fox who convulses a buffalo with laughter, a white beaver and ghost people, a huge snake in love with the moon, a sparrow hawk of conscience, and many others. These sparkling tales reveal a reverence for life, honesty, and the unity of creation. Frank Bird Linderman (1869-1938) was a Montana writer, politician, Native American ally and ethnographer. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he went West as a young man and became enamored of life on the Montana frontier. While working as a trapper for several years, he lived with the Salish and Blackfeet tribes, learning their cultures. He advocated on behalf of the landless Chippewa and Cree in Montana, who struggled to survive. He supported Native Americans as the real Americans, while believing there was a place for Anglo-Americans in the West. Believing that native peoples should be protected, he became an advocate with the government for Chief Rocky Boy and used his network of prominent whites, including other politicians and painter Charles M. Russell, to lobby Congress to set up a reservation for the Chippewa band. Throughout his life, Linderman collected Native American stories. His first book, Indian Why Stories: Sparks from War Eagle's Lodge-fire, was published in 1915 by Charles Scribner's Sons. After moving with his family to a log home on Montana's Flathead Lake in 1917, Linderman focused his attention on writing. He had spent his life gathering stories, and he felt a duty to write them down. He wrote as much in a letter to a friend, "I feel it a duty to, in some way, preserve the old West, especially Montana, in printer's ink, and if I can only accomplish a small part of that, I shall die contented." He wrote six books of Native American legends, an autobiography, a collection of frontier stories, six novels, three animal stories, and a collection of reminiscences about his friend and artist Charles Marion Russell. This red clothbound hardcover is in amazingly good condition, v ery slight scuffing noted to illustrated cover edges. Intact pages are clean, age tanning with very minimal foxing noted, no other obvious marring noted. Measures 5.5"W x 8.25"L x .75"D approximately.

1874 Scarce Post Civil War History, Robert E. Lee

Lot #137 (Sale Order 137 of 752)

For your consideration is the Rare First Edition of, "Personal Reminiscences of Gen. Robert E. Lee", 1874, by Rev. J. William Jones, D. D., formerly chaplain Army Northern Virginia, and of Washington College, Virginia (Washington & Lee University, Lexington, Virginia). Robert E. Lee lived only five years after the end of the War Between the States. Dedicated to his work in directing the education of young men at Washington College in Lexington, Virginia, where he served as president, he did not have time or opportunity to write his memoirs. One of his chaplains with whom he was quite close in Christian fellowship - his familial friend, J. William Jones, set about to prepare a near approximation of Lee’s memoirs, which was endorsed both by the Lee family and Washington (and Lee) College. Lee’s story is told topically as Jones looks at various aspects of his life and character. Included are an abundance of professional and personal correspondence by Lee that give the reader insight into Lee, the man, soldier, husband, and father better than any narrative describing him. General Lee has come to be known as one of the most beloved generals in history, but perhaps his greatest contribution to the United States was his effort to reunite the country following the American Civil War. In the opinions of his contemporaries and historians, Lee played a crucial role in restoring peace following the war. This green clothbound gold gilt hardcover is in amazingly good condition overall, the gold gilt is bright and clean. Scuffing noted to stamped illustrated cover edges, binding loose but attached. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and light foxing, no other obvious marring noted. Measures 6"W x 9.25"L x 1.5"D

The U.S. had gone to war in opposition to Spanish colonial policies in Cuba, which was then torn by a rebellion, but the United States Army was small, understaffed, and disorganized in comparison to its status during the American Civil War roughly 30 years prior. When its first commander, Colonel Leonard Wood, was promoted, Roosevelt became commander and the regiment would forever known as "Roosevelt's Rough Riders". Despite the brevity of their service, the Rough Riders became legendary, thanks in large part to Roosevelt's writing his own history of the regiment and the silent film reenactments made years later. As Vice President in 1901, Roosevelt would ascend to the presidency after the assassination of President William McKinley.

For your consideration is this Frank McCarthy Signed Limited Edition, "Watching The Wagons", #469/1400, 1982. A massive thunderstorm gathering in the background adds drama to this painting and symbolizes the growing storm between settler and Native American. A group of Sioux watch as an early wagon train pushes west. The Native Americans were not yet ready to fight for they had not yet lost their buffalo or vast lands. But as the influx continued, these events would come to pass and the gathering storm would break and unleash its fury on the prairie. 'Gathering storm clouds symbolize the approaching conflict as Indians worriedly observe settle wagons just beyond effective rifle range,' wrote Frank McCarthy. 'In the beginning people were mostly just passing through, but as settlers increasingly dropped off to stay, it was clear that the Indians' claim to the land was threatened.' Frank McCarthy's (1924-2002) dynamic paintings frequently featured the people of the west with a special emphasis on the Plains Indian, mountain men and cavalry that comprised the lore and lure of the Old West. Appropriately entitled the “Dean of Western Action Painters,” Frank McCarthy’s art was unsurpassed for its motion, drama and absolute attention to accuracy and detail. Highly collected and frequently imitated, Frank McCarthy’s works were treasured throughout the world as classic examples of contemporary Western Art. Retrospective showings of Frank McCarthy’s paintings have been held at the Museum of the Southwest, Midland, Texas; the R.W. Norton Museum in Shreveport, La.; the Thomas Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Ok.; and in 1992, at the Cowboy Artist of America Museum (now known as National Center for American Western Art) in Kerrville, Texas. Frank McCarthy was invited to join the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America organization in 1975 and was an active member in the CAA group for 23 years.

I had the unique opportunity to observe her teaching ancient crafts in Indian dress, going to church in a long pioneer-style gown, and dacing to a Chicago rock group record in hip-huggers. I felt that, if she had entered, she could easily haver become Miss Indian America. To me she was." James Bama (1926-2022) was an American artist known for his realistic paintings and etchings of Western Subjects. Life in Wyoming led to his comment, "Here an artist can trace the beginnings of Western history, see the first buildings, the oldest wagons, saddles and guns, and be up close to the remnants of Indian culture ... And you can stand surrounded by nature's wonders." Bama is considered by many as the most "realistic" illustrator in a galaxy of talented artists. Through his simple, yet powerful compositions, he breathes life and humanity into his subjects. Critics and collectors classify him as a Western artist. He calls himself an "American Realist." In a profile piece about artists who have made the successful transition from illustration to painting western art in Art of the West , Bama says,"It was cheaper than having to build a set. I could do winter stuff in summer and summer stuff in winter. I was busy." In an extremely successful twenty-two year career as a commercial artist, he produced book covers, movie posters and illustrations for such notable magazines as The Saturday Evening Post, Argosy and Reader's Digest. Bama's style is marked by detailed realism tempered by a compassionate understanding of his subjects. This Limited Edition Signed print is in very nice condition, slight creases noted along borders but not on the visible print area, no other obvious marring noted. Measures 15"W x 19"L.

Frontier Winchester Model 1873 32-20 Octagon Rifle

Lot #164 (Sale Order 164 of 752)

Frontier era Winchester Model 1873 octagon rifle in .32-20 caliber. This early Model 1873 with serial number 230436 was made in 1887. An early Winchester Model 1873 rifle produced with standard 24” octagon barrel, full magazine, crescent butt plate and chambered for the popular .32 Winchester Center Fire cartridge. The .32 Winchester Center Fire cartridge (better known today as the .32-20) was first introduced in 1882. According to the standard reference work THE WINCHESTER HANDBOOK by George Madis, “along with the .38-40 introduced about this time, sales for rifles in these two chamberings were slow with early examples in these calibers very scarce.” The Model 1873 is the famed “Gun That Won the West,” and undoubtedly one of Winchesters earliest and most popular repeating rifles. This example is typical of those found in every barn, saddle scabbard and behind every ranch house kitchen door during the Frontier Years. Made uninterruptedly from 1873 through 1923, the 1873 is perhaps the most iconic of Winchester’s early products and found favor with hunters, ranchers, farmers, cowboys, lawmen and outlaws. It was, and still is, known for having the smoothest action of any Winchester model. Its mechanism has few internal parts and, by removing the side plates, is extremely simple to clean and repair if needed. This was a huge selling point in sparsely populated areas where a gunsmith might be many days’ ride away. A frontiersman or hunter with a few spare parts and a screwdriver would never have to worry about his rifle becoming out of service. This rifle shows a deep aged appearance on the barrel, magazine tube and receiver. The loading gate retains good aged blue and the screw heads are in fine condition. Further, it retains the original dust cover, and the mellow brass lifter on the bottom of the receiver is correctly engraved “32 CAL” and has never been polished. Frequently dust covers are missing, but this rifle has managed to retain the original. The Walnut butt stock and forearm also show no signs of being sanded or replaced. Aside from a shallow sliver from the right forward portion of the forend top, the stock and forend are in fine condition showing only normal handling/hunting wear. The wood to metal fit is tight and the steel butt plate has no provision for a trapdoor for cleaning rods which is correct for the .32-20 chambered Model 1873- only the .38-40 and .44-40 caliber rifles had the sliding trap in the butt plate. Correct Winchester markings and patent dates on the barrel and upper tang are fairly sharp and clear and the mechanism is tight and crisp with strong springs and solid safety half-cock notch on the hammer. The bore is dark with visible rifling all the way through with the normal roughness that one would certainly expect of such an early black powder era Winchester. The barrel retains a correct buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and matching original standard Winchester blade front sight. This is an attractive and original 135 year old Model 1873 rifle that only recently came out Arizona. It would be difficult to find an earlier production Model 1873 in this scarce caliber. Antique firearm, NO FFL.

"These two brothers, Mark and Dave, were both from a small tyown in New Mexico. The previous summer they had worked ina Wild West show in upper New York State. Dave, the older of the two, was dressed more like an old style sheriff, and Mark wore contemporary western rodeo clothes. They were very handsome young men. They held part time jobs during the day to help pay their entry fees at the night rodeos. Mark was married to a sixteen year old girl who also worked days to help out. I tried to capture a mood of two young boys, far away from home, feeling the insecurity of their situation, and apprehensively awaiting their next ride." James Bama (1926-2022) was an American artist known for his realistic paintings and etchings of Western Subjects. Life in Wyoming led to his comment, "Here an artist can trace the beginnings of Western history, see the first buildings, the oldest wagons, saddles and guns, and be up close to the remnants of Indian culture ... And you can stand surrounded by nature's wonders." Bama is considered by many as the most "realistic" illustrator in a galaxy of talented artists. Through his simple, yet powerful compositions, he breathes life and humanity into his subjects. Critics and collectors classify him as a Western artist. He calls himself an "American Realist." In a profile piece about artists who have made the successful transition from illustration to painting western art in Art of the West , Bama says,"It was cheaper than having to build a set. I could do winter stuff in summer and summer stuff in winter. I was busy." In an extremely successful twenty-two year career as a commercial artist, he produced book covers, movie posters and illustrations for such notable magazines as The Saturday Evening Post, Argosy and Reader's Digest. Bama's style is marked by detailed realism tempered by a compassionate understanding of his subjects. This Limited Edition Signed print is in very nice condition, slight creases noted along borders but not on the visible print area, no other obvious marring noted. Measures 19"W x 22.5"L.

This is an outstanding, very scarce authentic original Cheyenne beaded hide triangle flat belt pouch tail bag dating to circa 1860-1870’s. Cheyenne belt pouchs with this long triangle shape are immensely rare. For example see the bag sold by Skinner in 2015 for $18,450 and another sold by Skinner in 2017 for $9,840 (both sold within their estimates of $15,000-$20,000 and $8,000-$12,000). This bag exhibits a thick harness saddle trade leather construction with tail end being sewn with sinew and covered in period correct 19th century glass trade seed bead beadwork on all sides. The beadwork has an iconic geometric pattern in classic Cheyenne form showing colors of red white heart, greasy yellow, medium blue, cobalt. The back is entirely covered in beadwork and shows a classic Cheyenne tab pattern. The outside edge shows fancy beadwork and the top has a beaded flap which also shows a large brass trade bead with cone shape. The top has a leather belt strap and the bottom a braided Indian tanned hide long bottom fringe with red ocher mineral pigment color. The bottom fringe also shows an old mid-1800’s E. Faber pencil, as marked, along with a solid brass bead. The bag has a long tail like triangle flap. Provenance: From the renowned Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana collection by Bruce VanLandingham. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collecting community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector, Bruce was also the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman, which was both part museum and gallery, this piece is directly from the collection. Possibly one of the more scarce Indian Wars era beaded items in the sale with wonderful collecting history. Measures overall 29"L (the body is 8.5”L, bottom fringe is 14.5”L and top strap is 7.5”L) by 2"W. Likely of a better overall beadwork appeal than the example that nearly brought $20,000 in 2015.

The bag is said to have been collected from the Wind River Cheyenne reservation and is comprised of Indian brain tanned Buffalo Bison hide with old yellow mineral pigment ocher, is sinew sewn and has long Indian hide fringes hanging off the bottom. The pipe bag is beautifully beaded on both sides in typical Cheyenne 19th Century pattern and colors with a classic “bar pattern” and still has the original tie straps still attached. The top of the bag shows four folds of Indian tanned hide with a split tail like design and fancy beaded edge, referred to as a four tab pattern, and shows green mineral pigment ocher coloring. The bag shows all period correct glass trade seed beads in colors of greasy blue, greasy yellow, chalk white, semi-transparent green, semi-transparent rose and cobalt. The bag is in very good well kept condition, with only minor wear from true age and use with soft supple hide. Good, original period correct Cheyenne bags with the four-tab pattern are scarce and is truly a wonderful piece of original Native American art.

19th C. Sioux Beaded Quiver & Arrows

Lot #203 (Sale Order 200 of 752)

The lot features a beaded arrow quiver and three iron point arrows from the Sioux of the Northern Plains dating to the late 19th century. The quiver is comprised of Indian brain-tanned buckskin with a line of short fringes running down one side and a strip of old red stroud trade clothe running along the reverse side. The top rim has an old red stroud cloth border and the buckskin shoulder strap is attached with old tarnished nickel saddle stud tacks. There is a large, beaded bottom cap attached that is about 3-inches high by 4-inches wide, beaded along all sides and bottom in traditional Sioux geometric patterns in all period glass trade seed beads with colors of greasy yellow, chalk white, semi-transparent green, and red. The bottom cap is made of thicker Buffalo Bison hide. These types of beaded, thicker hide bottom caps were often made on quiver so that over time the arrow tips would not poke through the bottom, as would happen with softer buckskin hide. The three arrows have iron points in traditional notched form with turkey feather fletching and each measures about 26 ½ inches in length. Likely a later addition. The quiver has some minor and expected wear. From a young warrior or hunter from the late Reservation period, used for small game, as the Buffalo was nearly non-existent at this point. From a private collection from Ohio of Native American beadwork and weapons. The quiver measures 19 inches in length.

Colt Bisley Model SA Army .38 Revolver & Holster

Lot #208 (Sale Order 204 of 752)

Colt Bisley Single Action Army .38 WCF (.38-40) caliber, 5 1/2”” barrel revolver with frontier double loop holster. This fine, all matching serial numbered Bisley, #198385, was made in 1900. The Colt Bisley Model was named for the famed Bisley Shooting Range in England and was an attempt by Colt to offer the Single Action Army revolver shooter an informal target single action option. With its lower hammer, curved trigger and sloping grip frame, the Bisley model found favor with those who preferred a different style and feel in their Colt Single Action revolver. The Bisley Model seemed to be especially popular in the Southwestern U.S. Considerably more scarce on the collector market today, the total number of Single Action Army revolvers manufactured by Colt reached over 357,000 before the start of World War II. Of this number, only 44,350 were in the Bisley configuration. The most popular caliber in the Bisley was the .32-20 and only a total of 12,613 Bisleys in all three standard barrel lengths combined (4 ¾”, 5 ½” & 7 ½”) were made in this desirable caliber of .38-40. This Colt Bisley has all matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. It also retains excellent original Colt markings including the one-line barrel address used only on 5 ½” and 7 1/2” revolvers (all shorter lengths had a two-line address). The left side of the barrel is also correctly marked “(BISLEY MODEL) .38 W.C.F.” (for Winchester Center Fire or .38-40) and the left side of the frame retains the two lines of patent dates plus the rampant Colt logo. The barrel shows excellent deep blue as does the cylinder pin and upper and lower flutes on the ejector housing. Similarly, the cylinder blue is thinning with good blue in the flutes. The .38-40 caliber actually took a .40” or .40 caliber bullet (why it was called the .”38” is still argued over by Colt collectors!) ahead of 40 grains of black powder and was considered a very powerful cartridge in its day. Often revolvers chambered for this round were paired with a Winchester or Marlin lever action rifle of the same caliber- in this way, a frontiersman carried only one type of ammunition for both handgun and rifle. There is some good blue retained in the most protected areas around the hammer base, on the butt and edges of the trigger guard bow. The front sight has not been altered and the correct, original Colt hard rubber grips show honest holster and handling wear, but are solid and fit well. All screws are excellent and the action works correctly with four clicks to the hammer. There is vivid case color in the protected parts of the hammer while the majority of the frame case colors have aged and faded to a mottled gray. The bore is bright and minty-excellent. The rawhide laced frontier holster shows wear and fits this Bisley revolver perfectly. An excellent example in a large caliber, this Bisley would fit the finest Colt or old West collection. Serial Number: 198385. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.*

1932-33 Philco Model 38-3XX Radio by Philco Corp.

Lot #216 (Sale Order 212 of 752)

For your consideration is this 1932-33 Philco Corporation Model 38-3XX radio. First established in 1892 as the Philadelphia Storage Battery Company, the Philco Corporation was a significant American electronics manufacturer. Initially, the business made batteries for electric cars and other uses, but it quickly branched out into other electronic fields, such as consumer electronics like radios and televisions. Philco rose to prominence as a radio manufacturer in the 1920s and 1930s as a result of its inventive designs, top-notch manufacturing, and aggressive marketing strategies. As a pioneer in the development of vacuum tubes and other electronic components, the company also contributed to the increased dependability and efficiency of its radios and other products. Philco produced a variety of military electronics for use during World War II, including radar systems, communication tools, and other cutting-edge devices. The business kept growing after the war, adding televisions, phonographs, and other consumer electronics to its product lineup. However, by the 1960s, Philco started to experience fierce competition from foreign firms, particularly those in Japan, who could produce comparable goods for less money. The Ford Motor Company bought the business in 1961 with the intention of using its knowledge of electronics to create new products for the automotive sector. However, this tactic was ineffective, and Philco struggled to continue turning a profit. NV Philips, a Dutch conglomerate, purchased Philco in the 1970s, and combined it with its Magnavox subsidiary. For a few more years, some products carried the Philco brand, but it eventually vanished from the shelves. The Philco Model 38-3XX was part of Philco's larger line of high quality and innovative radios which were known for their sleek designs, advanced technology, and excellent sound quality. The radio features a main knob in the center for seeking different radio frequencies and four smaller knobs below that. One for turning the radio on and off, one for magnetic tuning, one for volume and the last has an unknown function. The Model 38-3XX has "Magnetic Tuning" (automatic frequency control) for eliminating drift and pulling stations to properly centered tuning. The bottom of the radio features a clothe speaker cover and has four wood slats covering the center. Above the slats it reads, "Philco". The radio shows good condition overall despite its vintage age. IT shows some chipping and scuffing to the wood housing and the internal components appear to be missing some items. The radio has not been tested for functionality. The radio measures 16 1/2" L x 25 1/2" W x 42 1/2" H.

C. 1945-55 Studebaker Porcelain Enamel Neon Sign

Lot #224 (Sale Order 219 of 752)

Featured in this lot is this 1945-55 bottom half of a Studebaker neon sign made by Walker & Company in Detroit, Michigan. From 1852 to 1967, the American company Studebaker produced automobiles. Originally a manufacturer of wagons and carriages, Studebaker switched to the manufacture of automobiles in the early 20th century and rose to fame for building well-liked, premium automobiles. In 1904, the business unveiled its first gasoline-powered vehicle, which quickly earned a reputation for dependability and quality construction. The Model 25, the first automobile to have an all-steel body and thus be more dependable and secure than other vehicles at the time, was introduced by Studebaker in 1913. The Dictator, the Commander, and the President were just a few of the well-known models Studebaker continued to make throughout the 1920s and 1930s. In order to supply the Allied forces with trucks and other equipment during World War II, Studebaker switched its production to military vehicles. Following the war, Studebaker unveiled a number of new models, among them the recognizable Starliner and the athletic Hawk. But by the 1950s, the business was finding it difficult to compete with bigger, more reputable automakers, and in 1954, it merged with the Packard Motor Car Company. Despite these initiatives, Studebaker kept losing market share; as a result, it stopped making cars in 1966. This sign is only the bottom half of the large original sign. The sign shows a navy blue background in the middle with two white lines painted around the edges of the sign in a teal blue background. The lettering is painted white. The bottom of the sign shows the makers mark in white lettering reading, "Walker & Co. / Detroit". The sign used to house neon lighting components but have since been removed. The holes in the lettering would have held the neon lights. The sign shows fair condition with rusting and chipping to the paint and lettering throughout, but is still in good display condition. The sign measures 1" L x 24 1/8" W x 94" H.

In order to supply the Allied forces with trucks and other equipment during World War II, Studebaker switched its production to military vehicles. Following the war, Studebaker unveiled a number of new models, among them the recognizable Starliner and the athletic Hawk. But by the 1950s, the business was finding it difficult to compete with bigger, more reputable automakers, and in 1954, it merged with the Packard Motor Car Company. Despite these initiatives, Studebaker kept losing market share; as a result, it stopped making cars in 1966. This sign is only the bottom half of the large original sign. The sign shows a navy blue background in the middle with two white lines painted around the edges of the sign in a teal blue background. The lettering is painted white. The bottom of the sign shows the makers mark in white lettering reading, "Walker & Co. / Detroit". The sign used to house neon lighting components but have since been removed. The holes in the lettering would have held the neon lights. The sign shows fair condition with rusting and chipping to the paint and lettering throughout, but is still in good display condition. The sign measures 1" L x 24 1/8" W x 94" H. The neon is not present.

Rare 1956 Zenith Royal "R" Chassis Television

Lot #262 (Sale Order 255 of 752)

Featured in this lot is this rare 1956 Zenith Royal "R" Chassis television produced by the Zenith Radio Corporation. Eugene F. McDonald Jr., a prosperous distributor of radio parts, established Zenith Radio Corporation in 1918 in Chicago, Illinois. The name "Zenith" was chosen for the business to signify its dedication to innovation and excellence. Zenith was one of the top radio manufacturers in the US when it first started out by focusing on making radio receivers. Zenith switched its focus from commercial to military electronics during World War II, producing radios, radar systems, and other apparatus. After the war, Zenith went back to making consumer electronics and kept coming up with new technological innovations. The company invented the first wireless remote control for televisions in the 1950s, which was a significant advancement at the time. The first TV with a flat picture tube was released by Zenith in 1969, revolutionizing the market and laying the groundwork for contemporary flat-screen televisions. In contrast, other electronics producers increased their competition with Zenith in the 1980s and 1990s, which led to the company's financial difficulties. Zenith adopted digital high-definition television technology as the first American TV manufacturer in 1995, but the business's financial issues persisted. The South Korean electronics manufacturer LG Electronics purchased Zenith in 1999. Zenith created the well-known television model known as the Royal "R" Chassis in 1956. The "New Vista" picture tube, one of the first to be used in a television, offered a wider and clearer image than earlier models. The Zenith Royal "R" Chassis' use of a transistorized power supply was one of its main innovations. Compared to earlier television models, which relied on bulky vacuum tube power supplies, this was a significant improvement. The television was significantly lighter and more dependable thanks to the transistorized power supply, which also consumed less energy. The "Beam Finder" tuning system on the Zenith Royal "R" Chassis made it simpler for viewers to locate and lock onto channels. A small oscilloscope tube was used in the system to display a pattern of lines that could be adjusted to match the TV station's signal. This TV was a pioneer in television technology. The TV shows a contemporary design, with a sleek wooden cabinet, finished in a mahogany color and a gold colored speaker grill. On the top of the gold grill, it shows the Zenith emblem. A thin gold-colored frame encircled the television screen above the speaker grille, giving it a fashionable and luxurious appearance. Above the screen of the television, there are two knobs, one on the left and one on the right. The right one shows numbers while the left side shows no markings. These knobs were used to change channels and the volume. The TV shows good condition overall with some wear from its vintage age and use over the years. The back housing for one electrical component is bent and close to falling off, but no other major signs of damage are noted. The TV has not been tested for functionality. The TV measures 26 1/4" L x 25 1/8" W x 38" H.

Gottlieb & Co. produced pinball machines in addition to other arcade games like mechanical baseball, shooting, and fortune tellers.

Until the 1970s, when the popularity of video games and other forms of electronic entertainment started to surpass that of pinball and other arcade games, D. Gottlieb & Co. remained a significant player in the arcade gaming industry.

Rare "Done in the Open" Frederic Remington 1902

Lot #297 (Sale Order 290 of 752)

Presented in this lot is the Rare First Edition "Done in the Open, Drawings by Frederick Remington", 1902 copyright Robert Howard Russell, P. F. Collier & Son Publisher, New York. "Done In The Open drawings by Frederic Remington with an introduction and verses Owen Wister and others" is a fascinating, early 20th-century collection of outdoor sketches by Frederic Remington and a verse collection published by American author Owen Wister. The book contains 72 Frederic Remington art pieces with a few in color. The piece shows 12 double page drawings, 28 full page drawings, and 32 smaller drawings. Each of the drawings is accompanied by the art’s title and a verse or poem about the piece. The book was a collaboration with the artist, Frederic Sackrider Remington, the verses being written to accompany Remington's drawings. Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in the genre of Western American Art. His works are known for depicting the Western United States in the last quarter of the 19th century and featuring such images as cowboys, American Indians, and the US Cavalry. Remington's collaboration with Wister on The Evolution of the Cowpuncher, published by Harper's Monthly in September 1893, was the first statement of the mythical cowboy in American literature, spawning the entire genre of Western fiction, films, and theater that followed. Remington provided the concept of the project, its factual content, and its illustrations and Wister supplied the stories, sometimes altering Remington's ideas. Remington's prototype cowboys were Mexican rancheros but Wister made the American cowboys descendants of Saxons. In truth, they were both partially right, as the first American cowboys were both the ranchers who tended the cattle and horses of the American Revolutionary Army on Long Island and the Mexicans who ranched in the Arizona and California territories. Remington was one of the first American artists to illustrate the true gait of the horse in motion (along with Thomas Eakins), The galloping horse became Remington's signature subject, which was copied and interpreted by many Western artists who followed him to adopt the correct anatomical motion. Though criticized by some for his use of photography, Remington often created depictions that slightly exaggerated natural motion to satisfy the eye. He wrote that "the artist must know more than the camera... (the horse must be) incorrectly drawn from the photographic standpoint (to achieve the desired effect). Also, noteworthy was Remington's invention of "cowboy" sculpture. From his inaugural piece, "The Bronco Buster", he created an art form which is still very popular among collectors of Western art. He has been called the "Father of Cowboy Sculpture." This Cream-colored boards hardcover is in good overall condition, the front cover decorated with the Remington portrait, "Infantry Soldier", a cloth backstrip on the spine. Inside pages are free of writing and intentional marks. Intact pages are gently age tanned. Covers and spine are dirty. Quite a bit of edge wear is evident, including crushed spine ends and exposed board at corners. Inner hinge is cracked and a little loose. Some interior gutters are cracked.

Playmatic initially concentrated primarily on creating electro-mechanical pinball machines, which were the industry standard at the time. The "Carnival" pinball machine from the company was unveiled in 1972. This was followed by a string of popular pinball machines that were enjoyed worldwide, including "Fandango," "Space Gambler," and "Cherry Bell." Due to their enhanced reliability and cutting-edge features, solid-state pinball machines began to gain popularity in the late 1970s, when Playmatic first began to produce them. Some of the company's most successful solid-state machines include "Black Fever", "Flash Gordon", and "The Party Zone". The artwork on Playmatic's pinball machines was renowned for being vibrant and intricate, frequently including complex illustrations and detailed back glasses. Additionally, the company placed a high value on gameplay and innovation, and many of their machines came equipped with distinctive features like captive ball playfields, spinning targets, and multi-level playfields. Despite their success, Playmatic found themselves up against bigger pinball producers like Williams, Bally, and Gottlieb in the 1980s, and the company eventually stopped making games in the middle of the decade. The pinball machine shows a fiesta style graphic on the back glass of the machine showing a man and woman dancing together while a man in the background plays a guitar.

He is known for writing Smoky the Cowhorse, for which he won the 1927 Newbery Medal, and numerous "cowboy" stories for adults and children.

Civil War Windsor Model 1861 .58 Cal Rifle-Musket

Lot #348 (Sale Order 341 of 752)

In this lot is a Civil War issued Special Model 1861, Contract Rifle-Musket. This is a classic .58 caliber rifled musket adapted to the hollow base “Minnie-Ball” used during the Civil War to great effect. The Special Model 1861 was designed by Colt as an improvement over the standard issue Model 1861. The main difference is in the more graceful hammer and lock design. The 40” rifled barrel utilized the above named hollow base bullet. This was a huge advancement over the previous smooth bore models using round balls. The conical bullet used in this rifle was slightly undersized for easy ramming over a charge of black powder. Upon firing, the explosion and expanding gases caused the hollow portion of the soft lead bullet to expand into the rifling which gave the projectile a rotational spin. Such a bullet fired in this manner was extremely accurate over several hundred yards and hit with devastating results. The metal parts of these fine rifles were finished “in the white,” which means they were not blued but left bright. This example still retains a good portion of this bright metal that is mixing with a brownish patina from age. As these rifles were “contracted out” to several makers, before being accepted by government inspectors, lock plates may show one of several makers or contractors. This example is stamped on the lock plate with the correct, three line marking of “U.S.” over “L. G. & Y.” over “Windsor, Vt.” The rear of the lock plate is dated 1864 as is the top breech portion of the barrel. The rear of the barrel is also stamped with the correct eagle head and VP firing and inspection proof marks. The markings on the lock plate indicate that this fine rifle was made by the Lamson, Goodnow & Yale Co. of Windsor, Vermont. This company made approximately 50,000 of these rifled muskets for the Union Army between 1862-1864. The lock plate, hammer and breech show mottled brown staining from age and use, yet retain full markings and an action as positive today as it was when issued during the Civil War. The bore has been inspected with a thin drop-in light to reveal a bright excellent bore with sharp rifling from end to end. Any roughness or corrosion is minimal and would probably clean out with a bronze cleaning brush. The stock and forearm are in fine condition showing no indication of being sanded or even cleaned and reveal only normal handling marks that one would expect from such an historical 158 year-old firearm. Importantly, the left side of the stock, opposite the lock plate, displays a crisp inspection cartouche which indicates this stock is original and not a replacement (which would not have an inspection cartouche stamping). The steel butt plate is correctly “U.S.” stamped and the correctly blued rear sight retains all three elevation sighting leaves- these are often broken off or missing. It is interesting to note that after the Civil War, many, if not most of these powerful and accurate rifles were sold as surplus to settlers heading West. The .58 caliber bullets fired by these rifles had more than enough power for the large game encountered west of the Mississippi River. They could also be counted on for self-protection if necessary. One need only hold this rifle-musket to feel the history in it! An American classic worthy of any fine Civil War or Old West collection. This one turned up right here in Montana. This firearm qualifies as an antique, and it does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.*

Provenance: From the renowned Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana collection and acquired by Bruce VanLandingham. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collecting community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector Bruce also was the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman which was both part museum and gallery. Serpentine or green celt’s from the Olmec are immensely rare, especially in this size and beauty of stone; a few examples for reference include the Serpentine Olmec Celt sold by Artemis Gallery in October 2022 for $2,403.50, the Olmec Greenstone Celt also sold by Artemis Gallery in June 2021 for $4,980, and the Greenstone Drilled Celt sold by Dan Morphy Auction in November 2013 for $7,200 (all shown w/ bp). Measures 4”L and about 1 5/8”W. Celts were associated with ears of corn, the V-shape being associated with the husk from which the cob emerged. At La Venta (a coastal city near present day Tabasco), caches of celts were discovered planted vertically like miniature stelae. The blunt end of this celt would suggest a similar use, and when placed in a vertical position its appearance is much more dramatic. In this stance the celt served to define the central axis mundi and the corners of the four-sided world, regarded as a cosmic maize field.

These machines were created with a variety of cutting-edge features, including coin validators and multi-selection options, to be strong, dependable, and secure. The company Universal Vendors, Inc. shifted its emphasis to manufacturing vending machines for the military during the war, including machines that provided cigarettes and other small items to soldiers stationed abroad. These devices could withstand harsh conditions and rough handling and were often lightweight and portable. After the war, Universal Vendors, Inc. started making vending machines again for the civilian market and added candy, soft drink, and snack machines to its lineup of products. The company Universal Vendors, Inc. introduced new features like digital displays and multiple price options throughout the 1950s and 1960s as it continued to innovate and broaden its product line. In order to make sure that its products were widely accessible and well-supported, the company also established a network of distributors and service facilities across the United States. The MCA Corporation, a major producer of movies, television programs, and music, bought Universal Vendors, Inc. in the late 1960s.

Gottlieb & Co. were renowned for being innovative, high-quality, and frequently embellished with vibrant, intricate artwork and designs. D. Gottlieb & Co. produced pinball machines in addition to other arcade games like mechanical baseball, shooting, and fortune tellers. The business was a pioneer in the development of the electro-mechanical pinball machine, which combined mechanical and electronic elements to replace earlier, purely mechanical designs. Until the 1970s, when the popularity of video games and other forms of electronic entertainment started to surpass that of pinball and other arcade games, D. Gottlieb & Co. remained a significant player in the arcade gaming industry. The company was eventually sold to Columbia Pictures in 1977, and after that, the Premier Technology Group bought its assets. Until the late 1990s, this company produced pinball machines under the Gottlieb brand. The "Foto Finish" pinball machine's cabinet was cartoon-illustrated with cartoon depictions of photographers, cameras, and other photographic tools. The backglass artwork showed several photographers in the foreground taking pictures of the horses as they passed in front of a crowd of spectators at a horse race. The "Foto Finish" pinball machine's playfield was created to resemble a derby track with a race in progress. At the top of the playing field are four horse names that can be lit up individually to earn bonus points. The playfield included a number of lanes and bumpers as well, all of which were intended to keep the ball in play and the player interested.

For your consideration is this Louis Marx & Company toy titled "Joy Rider" from 1926. Louis B. Marx, born on August 11, 1896, in Brooklyn, New York. In 1919, Marx founded Louis Marx & Company, paying toy makers to make goods for him until he bought production facilities in 1921. Marx created and produced a wide range of toys, and the business also enhanced and improved toys produced by other manufacturers before selling them at lower prices. Marx purchased manufacturing facilities in Erie, Girard, Pennsylvania, Glen Dale, West Virginia, and the nearby city of Wheeling in the early 1930s. An addition was constructed in 1948–1949 to facilitate the manufacture of plastic toys. In the 1940s and 1950s, Marx became the greatest toy manufacturer in the world due to the enormous Glen Dale factory, which produced more toys than any other Marx facility. At Glen Dale, four unions were active, and there were over 2,000 employees at the start of the 1960s. But, once Louis Marx sold the business to the Quaker Oats Corporation in April 1972, business began to decrease. In April 1976, Quaker sold to Dunbee-Combex Ltd. In January 1980, Glen Dale's 800 employees were laid off, and the renamed Dunbee-Combex-Marx shortly declared bankruptcy. Louis Marx passed away on February 5, 1982, at his home in Scarsdale, New York. This toy shows a man in his car hauling his luggage with phrases written all over his car. His luggage consists of a large red trunk on the back and a red briefcase bag on the front left side of the car.

"A Daughter of the Sioux" By Charles King 1st Ed.

Lot #422 (Sale Order 415 of 752)

Presented in this lot is Rare First Edition of, "A Daughter of the Sioux", by General Charles King, 1903, illustrated by Frederic Remington and Edwin Willard Deming. "A Daughter of the Sioux, A Tale of the Indian Frontier", published by Grosset & Dunlap New York, is a classic tale of the Old West and the demise of the Indian. General Charles King was a United States soldier and a distinguished writer. He graduated from West Point in 1866 and served in the Army during the Indian Wars under George Crook. He was wounded in the arm, forcing his retirement from the regular army. During this time, he became acquainted with Buffalo Bill Cody. King would later write scripts for several of Cody's silent films. He wrote and edited over 60 books and novels. King's writings, relating to American Indians, cover a complex range of opinion within his novels. His sympathy for their cause of defending their homelands, and being forced to adopt a new lifestyle, did not stop him from graphically portraying them as savage and barbaric peoples. However, King also used his writings to harshly criticize U.S. government policies that resulted in Indian treaties not being honored and that permitted rampant corruption among government-appointed reservation agents. As a lieutenant in the 5th Cavalry, King was a participant on the American western frontier, who personally fought in battles with Southwestern and Plains Indians and observed government policies first hand. His opinions and biases were shaped by personal experience and may well reflect the attitudes of many within the Old Army of the American frontier. Charles King is credited today with helping to establish the "Western novel" as a romantic and dramatic genre of American literature, based upon a sturdy foundation of historical realism. This green clothbound hardcover book is in good overall condition, the front cover stamped colour illustration of a tomahawk pipe is clean and bright, coloured cover texts are also clean and bright. Cover edges exhibit slight scuffing, spine appears tight. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and foxing, no other obvious marring noted. Measures 5.25"W x 7.75"L x 1"D

"Robert E Lee the Southerner", 1st Ed., T. N. Page

Lot #495 (Sale Order 488 of 752)

Featured in this lot is the First Edition of, "Robert E. Lee The Southerner" by Thomas Nelson Page, 1908, publisher Charles Scribner's Sons New York. From the Introductory, "THIS sketch of a great Virginian is not written with the expectation or with even the hope that the writer can add anything to the fame of Lee; but rather in obedience to a feeling that as the son of a Confederate soldier, as a Southerner, as an American, he owes something to himself and to his countrymen, which he should endeavor to pay, though it may be but a mite cast into the Treasury of Abundance. The subject is not one to be dealt with in the language of eulogy. To attempt to decorate it with panegyric would but belittle it. What the writer proposes to say will be based upon public records, or on the testimony of those personal witnesses who by character and opportunity for observation would be held to furnish evidence by which the gravest concerns of life would be decided." Robert E. Lee is well known as a Confederate military general during the American Civil War, but perhaps his greatest contribution to the United States was his effort to reunite the country following the American Civil War. In the opinions of his contemporaries and historians, Lee played a crucial role in restoring peace following the war. Thomas Nelson Page was an American lawyer, politician, and writer. He served as the U.S. ambassador to Italy from 1913 to 1919 under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. In 1869, he entered Washington College, known now as Washington and Lee University, in Lexington, Virginia when Robert E. Lee was was president of the college. In Page's later literary works, Robert E. Lee would come to serve as the model figure of Southern Heroism. This green clothbound stamped gold gilt hardcover is in very nice overall condition, gold gilt front cover lettering is bright and clean, spine gold gilt is intact and somewhat faded, top edge gold gilding. Scuffing noted on cover edges, intact deckled pages exhibit age tanning and minimal foxing, no other obvious marring noted. Measurements are 5.25"W x 7.75"L x 1.25"D approximately.

Blue Forest Petrified Wood From Eden Valley, WY

Lot #501 (Sale Order 494 of 752)

Featured in this lot are three pieces of Blue Forest petrified wood from the Blue Forest in Eden Valley, Wyoming. Wyoming is a state rich in fossil wood and has several petrified forests. The petrified wood from one forest is known to collectors as Eden Valley Petrified Wood and is named after the town of Eden, Wyoming. The fossil wood found in this area is known for the light blue agate surrounding many of the pieces. The rock known as Eden Valley Petrified Wood was created by plants that were alive around 50 million years ago, and it has characteristics not seen in any other fossilized wood in the world. Shallow "algae growing" lakes were engaged in the petrification process in this region. For unknown circumstances, the wood frequently ended itself in this water in its live state before it had a chance to dry up and take on the appearance of old dead wood. This wood developed a layer of algae that stuck to the surface and formed a mold or cast around it. Afterwards, the wood dried and contracted in the algae-based mold. Over time these algae casts became part of a layered rock formation. Silica-rich water solutions seeping through the rock then petrified the wood and filled in the spaces left between the dried wood and the hardened cast with agate, calcite, and quartz. Unusually accurate images of the wood have been preserved because the petrification process appears to have been "protected" by the development of the algae cast. Beautiful images of both live and dry bark have been preserved. The pieces show very detailed bark throughout and areas of rich blue agate, calcite and quartz formations. Truly some very amazing formations. The largest piece measures 6 3/4" in length and 2 5/8" in diameter, the second largest measures 3 1/2" L x 2" W x 4 3/4" H, while the smallest measures 2" in diameter and 2 7/8" in height.

Russell names some of denizens of Remington's West: A Breed, A Sioux Chief, A Cheyenne Buck, An Army Packer, A Cavalry Officer, An Arizona Cowboy, and A Trapper, which this folio includes.

Original Inupiaq Woven Basket By Janet Geary

Lot #606 (Sale Order 599 of 752)

Included in this lot is an Original Inupiaq Woven Basket made by Native American Inupiat Janet Geary, Buckland, Alaska. The Inupiaq people are known for their basketry made from whale baleen. Created at the dawn of the 20th century, the baskets made with baleen (a flexible material found in the mouths of Mysticeti or baleen whales) were based on coiled willow-root prototypes. This Alaska Native made basket is woven from grass that is collected along the west coast of Alaska. The process of gathering, drying, and dying the grass takes up to two months or more. The intricate art of coil weaving grass into beautiful grass baskets is some of the finest, most delicate and artistic forms of Alaskan native craftsmanship. The popularity of hand-made baskets was initiated by a group of Americans who were opposed to the industrialization that was overtaking the country. They idealized the past and wanted to preserve it. This anti-modernism attitude, called the American Arts and Crafts movement, came from a group of women of the educated, democratic-minded, upper middle class who sought to combat their mounting alienation by promotion of communally-based handicrafts. Through re-contextualizing it as a symbol of anti-modernism, collectors endowed it with an aura of "sacredness” due to a quest for spiritual connection brought on by the waning power of Protestant Christianity with the rise in industrialization, immigration and urbanism. In reality, Native Americans regarded their baskets as largely, if not exclusively, utilitarian. Basketry, initially practised only by men, is a commercial endeavor now closely tied to the subsistence way of life practiced by native women. The women still harvest in communal groups and share with others who have migrated to the urban areas, which helps bind the past with the present, preserve their way of life and maintain their sense of identity as a subsistence culture. It also provides supplemental income for other necessities in this consumer-based world. This basket is in exceptionally fine condition, the coil weaving is tight and uniform, no marring noted. A photograph of the weaver, Janet, holding the basket is included with a date on the reverse May 19, 2007. Measures 8"W x 6"H without the lid, 9.25"H with lid attached.

Cretaceous Era Fossilized Ostrea Titan From CA

Lot #607 (Sale Order 600 of 752)

For your consideration is this ancient fossilized Ostrea Titan, an oyster from the Ostreidae family, found in California. An extinct species of oyster known as Ostrea titan flourished between 70 and 80 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous era. With some specimens measuring up to two feet in length, this kind of oyster is renowned for its enormous size. Sedimentary rocks can be discovered with Ostrea titan fossils in them all over the world, especially in North America, Europe, and Asia. Ostrea titan fossils are intriguing because they frequently have soft tissue that has been preserved and can shed light on the anatomy and behavior of these prehistoric creatures. For instance, scientists have discovered signs of muscles and ligaments in some fossils of Ostrea titan, which shows that these oysters were able to forcefully expand and close their shells. The fossil is embedded in a rock showing colors of white, grey, beige, and light brown throughout the piece. The entire piece measures 9 1/2" L x 6 7/8" W x 5" H.

1900-20 Horse & Farm Equipment Advertisements (2)

Lot #608 (Sale Order 601 of 752)

The first in this collection is this original McCormick Harvesting Machine Company advertisement from 1902-1910 that was produced by J.J. Ottmann Lithograph Company in the Puck Building, New York. Cyrus Hall McCormick founded the McCormick Deering Co. in 1831. After obtaining a patent for a new plough and special reaper in 1834, McCormick started to focus on providing his products to the large, expanding American market. In 1847, McCormick moved to Chicago where he started the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. After merging his two companies in 1902, with help from J.P. Morgan, the International Harvester Company was born and Cyrus H. McCormick Junior was its founder and became its president. The advertisement shows a man on a large McCormick harvester being pulled by two horses. He is waving towards the viewer as he harvests his field.

The advertisement shows poor condition with many tears and fading to the advertisement but is still in readable condition. The advertisement measures 19 1/2" L x 29 3/4" W. The second advertisement in this collection comes from the Capewell Horse Nail Company in Hartford, Connecticut. in 1881, the Hartford Courant announced the formation of the Capewell Horse Nail Company. Very quickly, it was realized that the Capewell Horse Nail Company was in a class by itself and was becoming the leading brand for horse nails in America. When other nail manufacturers stopped making products, Capewell saw an increase in volume sales. Through the years, Capewell has persevered through challenging times by adhering to its ideal of excellent quality and exceptional service. When World War II started, the drop forge equipment was utilized to make parachute fittings, a product whose significance was growing quickly. The horseshoe nail and the parachute release were Capewell's two basic yet vital items for the first 100 years of company existence. Surprisingly, both goods are still being made today. The advertisement shows all the styles and sizes of shoes worn by horses who won races and broke records. The top of the ad reads, "Record Made And Shoes Worn By Stars Of The Race Track / All These Horses Shod With Capewell Nails".

Large Mesozoic Era Dinosaur Coprolite From Utah

Lot #610 (Sale Order 603 of 752)

Featured in this lot is this large dinosaur coprolite from the Mesozoic era found in Utah. The Mesozoic Era is the second-to-last era of Earth's geological history, lasting from about 252 to 66 million years ago, comprising the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. Dinosaur Coprolite is the fossilized excretion of ancient animals. Coprolites are classified as trace fossils as opposed to body fossils, as they give evidence for the animal’s behavior (in this case, diet) rather than morphology. Coprolite gives scientists information about what the dinosaurs ate. If bone fragments are present it is likely that the coprolite is from a carnivore. If plant parts are found it is likely that the coprolite is from an herbivore. Usually a powerful microscope is needed to identify these undigested bits. This large coprolite can be dated around 65-200 million years ago, while the dinosaurs still roamed the lands around us. It shows colors of light brown, beige, light orange, and black throughout. The coprolite measures 8 1/4" L x 7 3/4" W.

Black Hills Studio Hand-Tinted Photo of Iron Creek

Lot #627 (Sale Order 620 of 752)

For your consideration is this vintage hand-tinted and framed photograph of Iron Creek Canyon in Black Hills, South Dakota by Black Hills Studios Inc.. From the 1850s to the early 1900s, the hand-tinting technique was employed predominantly in portraiture in order to enhance a sitter’s facial features and clothing. But as photography became more accessible, hand tinting enriched ever more complex scenes. Soon, skilled colorists were quite literally blurring the lines between photography and painting. Hand-tinting is the tactile method of altering traditional, darkroom-generated prints. Colorists used cotton swabs to manually apply pigments —usually translucent oils but sometimes dyes or even tempera. Fine details were added with a stylus, pin, or oil pencils. This hand-tinted photograph is presented by Black Hills Studios in South Dakota and comes in the original wood frame. The photograph is titled at the bottom reading, "Iron Creek Canyon Black Hills, S.D." and to the right of that it reads, "Black Hills Studios Inc.".

"Recollections of Charley Russell", F. Linderman

Lot #663 (Sale Order 655 of 752)

Included in this lot is the First Edition of, "Recollections of Charley Russell", by Frank Linderman, with drawings by Charley Russell. Edited by H. G. Merriam, 1963, University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, Oklahoma. The book recounts the life and times of Charles Russell, famed Western artist from Great Falls, Montana. Linderman and Russell were close friends and kindred spirits, and Linderman obviously recognized that Russell was not only an enormously talented artist but also a very uncommon man. The intimate, human memories regarding Charles M. Russell, his genius and eccentricities, which Frank Linderman set down shortly after the death of his good friend, constitute a miscellany of personal insights for which any of Russell’s biographers ought to have given his eyeteeth. But in none of the increasingly frequent Russell commentaries, apparently, has use ever been made of these prime source materials. The recollections are random and full of nostalgia. Frank Bird Linderman (1869-1938) was a Montana writer, politician, Native American advocate and ethnographer. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he went West as a young man and became enamored of life on the Montana frontier. While working as a trapper for several years, he lived with the Salish and Blackfeet tribes, learning their cultures. He became known by the Crow as "Sign-talker", or, sometimes "Great Sign-talker". The Blackfeet called him Iron Tooth, the Kootenai knew him as Bird-Singer, and the Cree and Chippewa called him Glasses or Sings-like-a-bird. This blue clothbound stamped gold gilt hardcover is in very nice condition. Slight scuffing noted to cover edges, stamped gold gilt bison skull on front cover as well as gold gilt lettering on spine are very clean and bright, no fading noted. Intact pages are clean, no marring observed. Original paper dust jacket in good condition with tear to front cover, scuffing to edges noted. Book measures 6.25"W x 9.25"L x .75"D

The original name of the tribe, before the Spanish named them Maricopa, was Peeposh, a name which they are re-adopting. In the 1930s, Maricopa potters were realizing only an American nickel (5¢) for well-made pottery. When this came to the attention of Elizabeth Hart, a United States Indian Service Home Extension Agent in Arizona, she decided to improve the situation. She encouraged the potters to improve their pottery and encouraged Arizona and New Mexico Museums to assist in sales. Success followed until the World War II economy put a stop to it. After the War, there were fewer potters but the work of the remaining ones continued to be of high quality. This pottery olla vase appears to be from an earlier period—circa 1920-1940 pre-WWII.
