American Indian Dag Fighting Knife Mid-19th C.

Lot #19 (Sale Order 19 of 746)

This is an excellent, mid-19th Century, American Indian dag fighting knife attributed to the Plains region. American Indian early dag knives are commonly referred to as “Beaver Paddle/ Beavertail” dag knives. This is due to the fact most dag knives were traded on the frontier along the Great Lakes region through the St. Lawrence Seaway westward by early fur traders. From the Great Lakes region on westward, the knives became very popular among the Northern Plains/Upper Plateau tribes, such as the Cree, Metis, Blackfoot, Nez Perce, Chippewa/Ojibiwa, and Shoshone. These were made to be killing weapons; this is why dag knives show a clean, long, double-sided blade without any serration, as they were for battle. Unlike other knives worn by Indian Warriors, the dag knife would have been worn around the Indian’s neck on his chest. This example shows a typical large, wide, tapering double edge blade with presentation like wood handle with round bolster area, diamond like gripping area, and round pommel, all being nicely adorned with brass trade tacks on both sides in varying patterns. The blade appears to be hand-forged metal. Overall, this is a large, heavy authentic example showing proper signs of true Native use and age. Measures overall 13 inches in length.

Rare Ancient "Roman Eye" Glass Beads Necklace

Lot #35 (Sale Order 35 of 746)

For your consideration is this rare, ancient "Roman Eye", graduated glass beads necklace. This is a lovely strand of 97 glass beads of mostly rounded forms, with a few tube shaped and most with multiple evil eyes. The vast majority present beautiful, translucent blue and green hues with white evil eyes; there are also a few red beads. This is an incredible strand of fine glass beads intended to protect the wearer against the evil eye. No entity is more recognized for its ability to ward off malevolent forces than the evil eye. This type of bead comes from Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. Imagery of the Evil Eye was first recorded by the Mesopotamian approximately 5,000 years ago in cuneiform on clay tablets. Some scholars believe that it may actually have originated as early as the Upper Paleolithic Age. Evil Eye iconography has been found in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim cultures, as well as Buddhist and Hindu societies; however, each culture ascribes a similar meaning to it. The evil eye is believed to be a curse cast by a malevolent glare that is typically directed at a person who is unsuspecting and unaware. Many cultures believe that the evil eye can bring about misfortune, injury, or bad luck. For this reason, talismans and beads like these traditionally have been created to protect the wearer against the evil eye. The beads show expected surface wear consistent with age, some with chips, stable fissures, and/or missing white eye details. This piece is approximately 39" long.

Winchester 1887 3-Digit 1st Year Lever Shotgun

Lot #37 (Sale Order 37 of 746)

For your consideration is a very rare, antique production Winchester 1887 Lever Action 12 Gauge Shotgun with rare early three digit serial number: 104, being manufactured in 1887 and shows a deluxe special order finish grade. The rare first year production three-digit serial number shotgun shows a highly figure crotch burl like deluxe wood on both stock and fore stock along with fine hand cut tight deluxe checkering and typical engraved receiver. This model was designed by John Browning and brought Winchester into the forefront of the repeating shotgun business. The 1887 was cherished for its reliability and fire power. Many were used by freight carriers, like Wells Fargo, train guards, prison guards, and lawmen of the West. Sportsmen who were used to handling lever action rifles also found favor with the 1887 lever action shotgun. Most examples found today show very hard frontier and field use and often display considerable abuse and replaced parts. The metal surfaces are smooth and show an uncleaned, dark natural patina on the receiver. The barrel and magazine tube show an attractive full aged blue finish and retains a much better than normally encountered fine bright bore. The Winchester markings and patent dates on the lower tang are correct and sharp, as is the “WRA Co” (Winchester Repeating Arms Company) entwined logo on the left side of the receiver. The screws are in generally excellent condition, showing this gun was rarely, if ever, taken apart. The shotgun retains the original checkered steel shotgun butt plate (these often changed or replaced with rubber recoil pads), the wood is not sanded, and it shows excellent original finish. The wood also displays very tight wood to metal fit, overall. The shotgun also shows correct and original 30” barrel (this was the correct and standard length barrel offered by Winchester for this model). It also retains the original brass bead front sight, mechanically crisp and tight. This 134 year old Winchester is a very difficult historical model to locate in any condition and this one is far above most that have survived to the present. Overall, this is a most attractive, unaltered example that would be at home in the finest firearm, Winchester or Old West collection. Serial Number: 104. This firearm qualifies as an Antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Great Lakes Presentation Pipe Tomahawk 1800's

Lot #86 (Sale Order 86 of 746)

This is an exceptional presentation grade pipe tomahawk that is nearly identical, likely by the same maker, as the example in the British Museum and documented by John Baldwin in his book “Tomahawks and Pipe Axes of the American Frontier”. The 1800-1850’s tomahawk shows a short, turned dark wood haft stem, which has a stout long smoking tip with two carved ridges having a fat rounded gripping area that tapers towards the head, ending in multiple carved, vase-like ridges. The haft appears to be a nice hardwood with nice, honest dark coloring from honest age and it shows a split crack, exposing the wood and giving a nice view of the true patina. The head itself is crafted of solid brass/ bronze with a slightly downward pointing blade with straight edges and rear flaring inside edge of the blade with flat spur, octagonal eye and eyelet moldings paired with the tapering octagonal tall, slender bowl with top molded ridge. The blade itself is highly hand engraved across the entire surface, showing on one side with an early Indian with headdress, using this tomahawk on a late 1700’s to early 1800’s dressed colonial man next to a tree; there is a fancy crisscross diamond and star border at the end. The other side shows a smiling half-moon, also showing the same border. The top of the blade had nice, ridged moldings and the entire top of the blade and octagonal eye are highly engraved with infinity-like pattern with stars, crisscrossing diamonds, and more stars. The entire piece has a rich, dark mellow coloring, an honest attribution to its age. Behind the tomahawk head shows a spacer of brass/bronze/ copper with matched engraving. At the eyelet hole is a leaf or tear drop-like shaped spike with spontoon-like double edge blade with square shank, being blacksmith forged and further adorned with artful circular pictures with etched cut engravings, totaling six cutouts. The pipe tomahawk is likely made from the same hand as the example shown in The British Museum, showing the nearly identical design. The British Museum example number AM, Dc. 76 is referred to as circa 1800 from the Northeast American Indians, showing the same engraved scene on one side and a US Arms scene on the other with the same turned wood haft being short and dark and spontoon-like spike/ pike with the same cutouts; the similarity is astounding. The British Museum piece was from the William Bragge and William Wareham collections and acquired in 1882. The museum piece was also documented by John Baldwin in the 1995 book, “Tomahawks and Pipe Axes of the American Frontier”, on page 21, figure 036. A photograph of the John Baldwin book entry and the listing in the British Museum are shown for examples sake. A similar example was previously seen by the experts at Bonhams Auction House and given a value of $20,000 to $30,000. Provenance: From a historic Eastern Montana American Indian Collection, where the piece was found to be an authentic original, one of the finest collections of American Indian weaponry and antiquities in Montana. Measures 18.25 inches long, with a head that is 6 5/8 inches long by 3.25 inches across the bottom edge of the blade. This is truly a work of art that has significant historic and collectible importance.

Sioux Cross & Star Brass Inlaid Pipe Tomahawk 19th

Lot #87 (Sale Order 87 of 746)

This is an exceptional, uncommon, large pipe tomahawk that is beautifully adorned with cross and star cutouts with brass inlays, along with beaded drop, attributed to the Sioux Native American Indian of the Western Plains during the 1800’s. The piece shows a large triangular axe head, commonly referred to as a Western or Plains type head. The oversized head has a crescent blade and rear facing small spur with forged stepped moldings, tear drop eyelet hole, and diamond chevron moldings flowing into the immensely unique vase-like pipe bowl. The pipe bowl is tall and slender with curved tapering neck, four raised squared off ridges and an inward tapering tall surface that was expertly crafted. The blade itself shows a large cross cutout at the center, bordered with three star cutouts, all of which are inlaid with brass. The three star cutout / inlays are each six pointed in the Star of David pattern, known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David; this is not a common inlay and was likely influenced by a Jewish Trader amongst the Sioux. At the center of the blade shows the symmetrical four arm cross, which shows circular ball ends, referred to as the four-point morning French Cross. The head is attached to a hardwood, likely ash or oak, haft handle, which is adorned with brass and metal trade tacks. The haft has a tear drop smooth carved finish with indented finger wells and the gripping area, pierced hole which holds the drop of beadwork and nice carved smoking tip. The end shows a file burned finish with the wood clean out plug still intact. The drop is tied to the haft with Indian tanned hide strands and the drop shows a typical triangular long shape, also constructed of Indian tanned hide with red stroud trade cloth ending and elaborately adorned with glass trade seed and pony beads. The beads are in a geometric Cheyenne and Oglala Sioux pattern with cross symbols and colors of Cheyenne pink, cobalt, blue, chalk white, medium blue, semi-transparent red. The base of the drop shows long frilly rawhide/ hide fringe, which has a brain tanned finish and is slightly hardened and patina’d. Provenance: From an amazing American Indian collection in Billings, Montana, one of the best in the Nation, where it was found to be an authentic original piece. The piece was said to have been purchased from Old Barn Auctions Jan Sorgenfrei. A similar example can be seen in John Baldwin’s 2001 “Indian War Clubs of the American Frontier” on page 8, figure 306, showing a cross cutout and western blade, in more crude form, described as being Phase III (third quarter 19th Century). For additional examples of nearly identical cross with ball end cross cutouts, see Harold L. Peterson’s “American Indian Tomahawks”, 1965, book, pictured at figure 194 and on page 119, figure 194; it is described as a circa 1860-1880 Plains Type of pipe tomahawk attributed to the Oglala Sioux, “pierced with a cross, each end of which terminates in a circle” MAI/HF 13/7843. The head appears to be of a significant 19th Century age, with the tacks and beadwork being a later adornment. The tomahawk is 27”L from smoking tip to end of blade. The head is 12 7/8”L with a 5 1/8”L blade. The drop is 20”L by 4.25”W.

Spencer Model 1865 .50 Cal Saddle Ring Carbine

Lot #107 (Sale Order 107 of 746)

Frontier used Indian Wars Spencer Model 1865 repeating saddle ring carbine. This .50 caliber modelwas made from 1865-1866 with approximately 23,000 made. It is considerably more scarce than the Civil War model of which 144,500 were manufactured. The main difference between the two is the earlier carbine had a 22 inch barrel and was in .52 caliber where the Model 1865 has a 20” barrel and chambered for a .50 caliber cartridge. The Model 1865 was produced for the U.S. Cavalry for the Indian Wars and, being a repeating arm holding 7 rounds plus one in the chamber, was a very effective and deadly weapon. Historically, it was the carbine used at the battle (massacre) of the Washita in the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma). The battle occurred on November 27, 1868 when Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer’s 7th U. S. Cavalry attacked Black Kettle’s Southern Cheyenne camp on the Washita river. Interestingly, when the cavalry switched to the Model 1873 Springfield .45-70 carbine inthat same year, many soldiers were reluctant to turn in their repeating Spencer Model 1865s for a singleshot carbine. After the switch to the Springfield, many of the surplus Spencers were sold off on the civilian market. Settlers and gold seekers heading west bought many of these fine carbines where they saw hard use on the Frontier. This example with serial number 10216 is probably an example of a carbine that saw service with the U. S. Cavalry and then went west with a civilian owner. The evidence of this is the heavy saddle wear on the forend. The forend is solid and fully intact, yet shows much thinning to the wood behind the barrel band which is indicative of being carried in hand over a saddle and ready for immediate use. The cavalry typically carried their carbines in a leather “boot” or scabbardattached to the saddle or hanging from a shoulder sling using the saddle or “sling” ring. Overall, this carbine is in fine condition with clear “M-1865” marking on the top of the barrel ahead of the receiver. The barrel also retains the original ladder rear sight. The flat top portion of the receiver retains the correct Spencer markings. The butt stock is solid with tight wood to metal fit and retains the sling ring and bar. The overall metal is a fairly smooth aged brown patina showing no evidence of being cleaned or polished. The action is tight and retains the original magazine spring device in the butt stock/butt plate. The bore is in very fine condition showing no pitting and very strong rifling throughout. The Spencer was one of the first successful repeating arms to use a cartridge. Its only real competition was the famed Henry rifle and later Model 1866 Winchester of the same time period, yet many preferred theSpencer because it utilized a much larger and more powerful cartridge than the .44 Rim Fire cartridge. This example has seen double history- first with the cavalry during the Indian Wars and then on the western frontier in civilian hands. A wonderful and most attractive piece of American history! This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Winchester Model 1894 32-40 Lever Action Rifle

Lot #108 (Sale Order 108 of 746)

Very low serial number, first full year of manufacture, antique Winchester Model 1894 octagon barrel rifle in rare and desirable .32-40 caliber with the extremely early serial number 3861. According to the Winchester records housed at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, this low number indicates a manufacture date of 1895. When the Model 1894 rifle was introduced in late1894 it was chambered only in the black powder loaded calibers of .32-40 (.32 caliber bullet with 40 grains of black powder) or .38-55. Once Winchester perfected barrel steel that would withstand the new smokeless powder pressures along with copper jacketed bullets instead of lead slugs, the revolutionary, and still popular, .30 WCF (also known as the .30-30 Winchester cartridge) was introduced. This occurred sometime in 1895-1896. This fine rifle comes with a Winchester factory letter from the Cody Museum which verifies all aspects of the rifle plus indicates the serial number was applied March 20, 1895. Additionally the letter states that this rifle was received in the warehouse April 5, 1895 and shipped august 23, 1895 to order number 18697. Only the first 1,674 rifles were produced in late 1894. Within a few years Winchester was still producing some .32-40 rifles, as this was still an accepted black powder round of the day, but the trend was to the new smokeless powder cartridges and the .32-40 began to see limited production numbers. To find one of the very earliest production octagonrifles in .32-40 caliber is very difficult. This rifle shows thinning aged blue on the standard 26” length octagon barrel and lovely aged soft blue on the full magazine. The barrel retains all the clear and sharp early Winchester address stampings. The upper tang behind the hammer also retains the correct very early markings “MODEL 1894” over “WINCHESTER” over “PAT. AUG. 21, 1894.” The receiver reveals a lovely dark aged plum/blue appearance and fine blue on the loading gate. The bolt on top of the receiver shows a nice aged blue also. Sights consist of the original standard buckhorn rear sight complete with intact elevation bar and a bead front sight. All screw heads are excellent which is a good indication that this rifle has not been taken apart or worked on. The walnut stock and forend is nicely reddish-brown hallmark Winchester color. The stock and forend show good wood to metal fit, indicating that the stock has not been sanded or refinished. The action is tight and the bore is a bit darkwith good rifling all the way through. The Model 1894 was a popular rifle with lawmen, sportsmen andespecially with the Klondike Gold Seekers in Alaska beginning in 1898. Many consider this Jonathan Browning designed rifle to be the finest and most modern tubular magazine lever action rifle Winchester ever produced. A rare opportunity to acquire a classic, very early production and historically significant Winchester with very fine appearance. It would be difficult to find a Model 1894octagon rifle with a lower serial number. Additionally, the .32-40 caliber was the least produced of all the 1894 calibers that were offered. This rifle recently came out of Arizona. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

This “Chief’s Grade” or “Presentation Grade” set features a highly polished Buffalo Great American Bison horn slab grip scales adorned with silver pins and is adorned with a silver hear inlay on one side and a circular copper moon on the reverse, the blade is marked “I Sorby” in their typical documented early documented touch mark / hallmark. For other examples of authentic Sorby touch marks and more information on Sorby Dag Knives see “Early Knives & Beaded Sheaths of the American Frontier” (1997) by John Baldwin for reference. The piece shows some minor discoloration on the blade, as well as some wear to the finish on the handle from true age and Native use.

The forged iron knife shows a raised median ridge running down the center of the blade, an early weapons features also seen on gunstock war clubs and lance blades. American Indian early dag knives are commonly referred to as “Beaver Paddle/ Beavertail” dag knives. This is due to the fact most dag knives were traded on the frontier along the Great Lakes region through the St. Lawrence seaway westward by early fur traders. From the Great Lakes region on westward the knives became very popular among the Northern Plains/Upper Plateau tribes such as the Cree, Metis, Blackfoot, Nez Perce, Chippewa/Ojibiwa and Shoshone. These were made to be killing weapons, this is why dag knives show a clean long double sided blade without any serration as they were for battle. Unlike other knives worn by Indian Warriors the dag knife would have been worn around the Indians neck on his chest. This is truly a very rare and early authentic set. Similar sets have sold at auction houses such as Cowan’s, Skinners and Bonhams for such prices as $75,000 at Cowan’s 4/5/2013 sale, $65,000 at Cowan’s 9/20/2013 sale, $70,725 at Skinner’s 2/6/2016 sale, $41,000 for a Sorby touch-marked plain handle dag from Brian Lebel’s Old West Show & Auction 6/23/2012 sale and $78,000 at Sotheby’s 5/6/2006 sale with the example being sold in this lot being of the same quality and rarity.

The blade is touch-marked SORBY one one side. Sorby was the hallmark of John Sorby & Sons which was acquired by Lockwood Brothers Sheffield, England in 1844. Lockwood Bros. still operated out of their Arundel Street Factory but created the I&H Sorby items out of their Spital Hill Works factory. The Sorby touch-mark would be found on trade knives and dag knives which were exported to the American frontiersman and traded to the Native American Indians where they would alter the pieces to their liking.

Harrington & Richardson .32 Auto Ejector Revolver

Lot #197 (Sale Order 196 of 746)

Harrington & Richardson .32 S&W Center Fire caliber Police Auto Ejecting Model revolver with correct “flat spurless” hammer, serial number 116010 made 1905-1908. These were high quality revolvers intended to compete with similar models by Colt and Smith & Wesson, although the spurless hammer was not offered by either company. The purpose of the special hammer was to avoid snagging on pockets or clothing when drawn. As these were pocket sized weapons, they were seldom carried in holsters. Instead they were about perfect for concealed coat pocket or purse carry. This model was made for smokeless cartridges, as opposed to earlier models intended for black powder, and found greatfavor as back-up guns for police as well as urban dwellers as a means of unobtrusive protection from thugs. When found today, most of this type revolver show heavy carry wear and often are in unserviceable condition. This nickel plated, six shot example functions perfectly and was designed to be used double action, in which a single pull of the hammer revolves the cylinder, brings the hammer back and then forward to fire a cartridge. As such, it was very fast to fire multiple shots in a short period of time. The top of the barrel has the correct Harrington and Richardson markings plus patent dates ending in 1896. The left side of the barrel assembly is correctly stamped “AUTO EJECTING .32 S&W CTGE” This revolver was given the name “Auto Ejecting” because when the rear sight/barrel catch is lifted and the barrel assembly pushed down, the ejector automatically pushes the empty shells from the cylinder and then snaps back in place for reloading. This mechanism works perfectly on this example. The bore in generally fine with strong rifling all the way through. It also retains a good portion of original nickel finish. The original hard rubber grips are excellent without chips or cracks. The barrel, cylinder and frame serial numbers match. A finely made revolver from one of America’s most prolific firearms manufacturers of the early 20th Century. Serial Number: 116010. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Colt Model 1878 10 Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun

Lot #198 (Sale Order 197 of 746)

Colt Model 1878 double barrel, exposed hammer, 10 gauge shotgun, serial number 9492, made in 1881. Quoting the classic work Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms: “Colt’s first doublebarrel shotgun proved to be a success until competition from less expensive foreign products became excessive. Enthusiasts regard the Colt Model 1878 as one of the finest quality shotguns made in American History.” This fine and expensive shotgun was made from 1878-1889 in a quantity of 22,690. It was offered in 12 gauge and the larger and more powerful 10 gauge with standard barrel lengths being 28”, 30” and 32”. Grades ranged from plain, field guns to exquisitely engraved show pieces. This example would rate as a step above the normal field grade. The stock on #9492 is nicely grained walnut and of higher quality than standard. The pistol grip and forend were also checkered which was not standard on the lower grades. The 30” barrels show the fine twist pattern from breech to muzzle with no apparent dings or dents. The shotgun has seen honest use as the checkering is worn andthe overall stock and forearm show much handling. The stock retains the original smooth steel butt plate. Both lock plates show the correct Colt company stampings and there is some engraving on the underside of the receiver and border pattern engraving on the lock plates and balance of the receiver. The barrel rib is clearly marked “COLT’S PT. F. A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD, U.S. AMERICA” Both bores are surprisingly smooth and fairly bright showing that while this Colt Model 1878 was certainly used, it was well maintained. The forend needs only the decorative ebony wedge at the front which would be easy to have replaced. The forend and barrels are serial numbered and match the receiver. As was customary with higher grade expensive shotguns, the bottom of the stock is fitted with an inletted silver oval initial plate.

Allen & Thurber Engraved Six Shot Pepperbox Pistol

Lot #200 (Sale Order 199 of 746)

For your consideration is a factory engraved Allen & Thurber six shot percussion “Pepperbox” revolving pistol, c. 1840s, .31 caliber with 3 1/2" gracefully fluted barrels. This is the medium size Allen Pepperbox that found favor as both a large pocket pistol as well as a holstered belt weapon. These early competitors to the Colt revolver found favor with the “49ers” of California Gold Rush fame, as well as with urban dwellers in need of a repeating firearm for self-defense. Many were carried as private weapons by soldiers on both sides of the Civil War. Examples in fine condition are rare, as these handguns were often used for “daily carry” by their owners. This is a very fine example as it displays a lovely uncleaned patina and still retains traces of original brass finish on the barrels. The usual condition for one of these is heavily worn gray metal at best and, more often than not, badly rusted, pitted and showing abuse. The frame is factory hand engraved, as is the nipple shield and back strap. This is a double action pistol, in which a single pull of the trigger revolves the barrel cluster, raises the bar-style hammer, and fires the gun. The bar hammer is marked “ALLENS PATENT”; it is also marked on a flute between the barrels “ALLEN THURBER”, “WORCESTER”, and "Patented 1837 Cast Steel". The walnut grips are excellent and exhibit much of the original finish. The pistol displays excellent mechanical condition and a truly fine example of a uniquely American firearm of the pre-Civil War period that has not been re-finished, over-cleaned, or altered. The pistol shows mechanical action with a heavy trigger pull. Serial Number: 177. This firearm qualifies as an Antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Engraved Allen & Thurber Percussion Pepper Box

Lot #333 (Sale Order 329 of 746)

Factory Engraved Allen & Thurber six shot percussion “Pepperbox” revolving pistol, .32 caliber with 4” early style ribbed barrels. This is the medium size Allen Pepperbox that found favor as both a large pocket pistol as well as a holstered belt weapon. These early competitors to the Colt and Remington revolvers found favor with the “49ers” of California Gold Rush fame as well as with urban dwellers in need of a repeating firearm for self defense. Many were carried as private weapons on both sides of the Civil War. Examples in fine condition are rare as these handguns were often used for “dailycarry” by their owners. This is a fine example as it displays a lovely dark aged patina and shows no signs of being cleaned or polished. The usual condition for one of these is gray metal at best and more often than not badly rusted, pitted and showing abuse. The frame is factory hand engraved as is the nipple shield and back strap. This is a double action pistol in which a single pull of the trigger revolves the barrel cluster, raises the bar-style hammer and fires the gun. The bar hammer is marked “ALLENS PATENT” and two “ribs” between the barrels are marked “ALLEN & THURBER WORCESTER” and “PATENTED 1837 CAST STEEL.” These markings accurately date the manufacture date of this pepperbox as these markings were used by Allen & Thurber only from 1847-1854. With this manufacture date, that puts this pistol in the exact time period of the Pre-Civil War California Gold Rush years as well as the turbulent days especially in the South and Western portions of the U.S. Walnut grips are very good and exhibit an original early oval silver“spangle” decorative inlay in the left grip with the right grip spangle missing but easily replaced. Fine mechanical condition and a true uncleaned, “attic condition” example of a uniquely American firearm of the pre-Civil War period. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Roping Mavericks by Frank Tenney Johnson Painting

Included in this lot is a framed "Roping the Mavericks", 1936 lithograph, by Frank Tenney Johnson. Frank Tenney Johnson (June 26, 1874 – January 1, 1939) was a painter of the Old American West who popularized a style of painting cowboys, which became known as "The Johnson Moonlight Technique". “Somewhere on the Range” is an example of Johnson's moonlight technique. To paint his paintings, he used knives, fingers, and brushes. In his early career, he worked primarily as an illustrator. He began working for Field & Stream magazine in 1904. In addition to Field & Stream, he contributed to Cosmopolitan and Harpers Weekly magazines and illustrated the Western novels of Zane Grey. Johnson lived permanently in New York City from 1904 until 1920, making numerous trips to the west to gather source material for his works that were completed in his New York studio. He lived and worked on the Lazy 7 Ranch in Hayden, Colorado for a while; later, he went southwest to work on painting Native Americans. In 1920, he moved to 22 Champion Place in Alhambra, California, where he shared a studio with Clyde Forsythe. At this point, Johnson's easel paintings became more popular than his illustrations, so he concentrated in this medium. Together, Johnson and Forsythe founded the Biltmore Art Gallery at the Biltmore Hotel. Between 1931 and 1939, he spent much of his time at his studio in Cody, Wyoming, just outside Yellowstone National Park. Many of his paintings were done there from studies inside the park. Johnson died from spinal meningitis in 1939 in Pasadena, California. This piece is in good shape and has been placed in a wooden frame. The frame measures 23" by 27 1/2".

The Trail Herd by Frank Tenney Johnson Painting

Lot #637 (Sale Order 633 of 746)

Included in this lot is "The Trail Herd" by Frank Tenney Johnson, painted in 1938. This is a framed lithograph. Frank Tenney Johnson (June 26, 1874 – January 1, 1939) was a painter of the Old American West, who popularized a style of painting cowboys that became known as "The Johnson Moonlight Technique". “Somewhere on the Range” is an example of Johnson's moonlight technique. To paint his paintings, he used knives, fingers, and brushes. In his early career, he worked primarily as an illustrator. He began working for Field & Stream magazine in 1904. In addition to Field & Stream, he contributed to Cosmopolitan and Harpers Weekly magazines and illustrated the Western novels of Zane Grey. Johnson lived permanently in New York City from 1904 until 1920, making numerous trips to the west to gather source material for his works that were completed in his New York studio. He lived and worked on the Lazy 7 Ranch in Hayden, Colorado for a while; later, he went southwest to work on painting Native Americans. In 1920, he moved to 22 Champion Place in Alhambra, California, where he shared a studio with Clyde Forsythe. At this point, Johnson's easel paintings became more popular than his illustrations, so he concentrated in this medium. Together, Johnson and Forsythe founded the Biltmore Art Gallery at the Biltmore Hotel. Between 1931 and 1939, he spent much of his time at his studio in Cody, Wyoming, just outside Yellowstone National Park. Many of his paintings were done there from studies inside the park. Johnson died from spinal meningitis in 1939 in Pasadena, California. This piece is in good shape and has been placed in a wooden frame. The frame measures 22 1/4" by 26 1/4".

Vintage Cloverleaf Style Western Spurs

Lot #744 (Sale Order 739 of 746)

This lot includes a set of vintage cloverleaf style western spurs. As the name implies, this blunt-edged rowel resembles a cloverleaf.

These spurs have brass rowels and brass buttons on the leather straps. The leather straps are marked 2169, but that is the only mark on these spurs.
