Collector’s Corner

Authenticating Collectibles

By Jim Olson

When you have a collection of potentially valuable items, especially if they have some sort of historical significance, authentication is very important. Just to know your items are authentic, and not fakes or re-pops, is important even if you are not looking to sell. Being able to accurately know and represent what is in our collections is important.

But how do we go about that?

The first, basic rule, is collectors should save any documentation, photos and receipts from the original purchase if possible. When you buy an item, get a detailed receipt if possible. A detailed receipt from a reputable dealer is often considered a good form of provenance. If it is a historical item and there are photos or a paper trail of where it came from, this is extremely important. Sometimes however, items are inherited or come as gifts. But it is still necessary to write down as much as you know about what was passed down with the item and save it with the piece.

The next way to get items authenticated is to find an expert in the field and reach out to them. Getting a letter or certificate of authenticity from a recognized leader, or expert in the field, is considered a good form of provenance. Talk to several if you can. Try to learn from them while you are at it.

Another good way to get authentication is to contact reputable dealers and collectors in the area or field that your collectible falls into. These are often the same people as would be considered the “experts” from the paragraph above. It is always good to get several opinions and dealers are often the ones handling items similar to yours on a recurring basis.

Another way, and I say this with caution, is to do your own research online. The internet is a wide and wonderful world of information. When you find items like yours, print out or save the information. However, I throw in the note of caution because you will also find a lot of misleading information on the internet. Every day people come to us and have an item and say they saw one “just like it online” and that it was selling it for $____ . First off, make sure what you are seeing online is indeed, “just like yours,” and secondly, remember that anyone can ask for any price online, that does not mean that is what it actually “sells for.”

I recommend after you do your research online, take the information and go to a recognized expert, dealer or collector and and let them help you with identifying what you actually have, compared to what you found online.

Why use an expert and what makes someone an expert? It is always best to find someone who knows what they are talking about when searching for an expert opinion. However, you should know there are a lot of self-professed experts out there who looked at a few pictures online and now think they know everything. What you are actually looking for is someone who has handled a lot of those types of items in the past and preferably is still in the business of handling them. Not only handled them, but also has studied them. They have read all the books, talked to others who are recognized in the area of expertise, etc. etc.. I like to use the analogy about a guy who really, really, knows about motorcycles.

An expert on motorcycles can tell the difference between a Harley and a Honda from a mile away. While the average person just sees two motorcycles coming. That is, until some of the obvious differences are pointed out. The expert knows the differences at a glance and can tell you the difference in price, collectiblity—and why.

Offer to pay the expert for their services. It is the right thing to do.

A lot of experts may not charge for identifying things or giving letters of certification (in some cases perhaps if they are doing other business with you or they hope this will lead to future business), but do not expect that.

For example, if you take a car you are considering buying or selling to a mechanic for an inspection, wouldn’t you expect them to charge? When you take a horse to the vet for a pre-sale inspection, does he not usually charge? If someone asked you to preform what ever it is that you do for a living, would you not expect them to pay for your services? Most of the time, the answer is yes. So we should expect to pay an expert for authentication services as well.

One quick note about “experts.” Remember that if you ask 10 different “experts” for an opinion, you will likely get 10 slightly different answers. And maybe only half of them are very accurate! That is just human nature and the way of the world with people’s opinions. So do your own research. Also research the “experts” and talk to the ones you feel you can trust. Sometimes it is a collaboration of several sources which gives you the best totality of information.

Remember that in the world of buying and selling collectibles, provenance is everything. Especially with regards to the more rare and valuable items. The better the paper trail, the more the item will sell for, or will be valued at. So search out the history, get the provenance and keep it with your items. It is important.

amusement of anyone who bothered to listen.

Holliday might have been arrested in Fort Griffin for illegal gaming, that is, for unlawful drinking and gambling, not for killing someone. But when the “Tin Hat Brigade” of local vigilantes threatened to hang him, Holliday and Kate made their escape, and high-tailed it into the back country. They traveled north on stolen horses until they reached Dodge City.

After arrival in Dodge City, Kate and Doc found lodging at Deacon Cox’s Boarding House. Doc signed the register as “Dr. and Mrs. J.H. Holliday.” Kate’s action in getting him out of Fort Griffin impressed him and he set out to make his newly found female friend happy. He stopped his gambling and put up his dentist’s shingle seeking new patients. For her part, Big Nose Kate agreed to stop hanging around saloons and give up prostitution. It didn’t last. Kate didn’t like the boredom of being a respectable lady and soon went back to the saloons where there was always something exciting happening every day. Doc, too, missed the challenges of the poker tables and soon went back to his old ways.

The two star-crossed lovers broke up, but it was just the beginning. They did the same thing many times during Doc’s lifetime relationship with Kate.

The story of Holliday and Bailey first saw the light of day in a newspaper article published in the San Francisco Enquirer in 1905, nine years after Holliday died. Earp had told a reporter that “Holliday was playing poker with a well-liked local man named Ed Bailey. Holliday caught Bailey ‘monkeying around the dead wood,’ or the discard pile, which was against the rules.” According to Earp, Holliday reminded Bailey to ‘play poker,’ which is a polite way to ask him to stop cheating. When Bailey made the same move again, Holliday took the pot without showing his hand, which was his right under the rules. Bailey immediately went for his pistol, but Holliday whipped out a knife from a breast pocket and ‘caught Bailey just below the brisket,’ or upper chest. Bailey died, and Holliday, new to town, was detained in his room at the Planter’s Hotel.”

In his best-selling biography about Wyatt Earp, author Stuart Lake wrote that Earp is quoted as saying, “Holliday’s girlfriend, Big Nose Kate Horony, devised a diversion. She procured a second pistol from a friend in town, removed a horse from its shed behind the hotel, and then set fire to the shed. Everyone except Holliday and the lawmen guarding him ran to put out the fire, while she calmly walked in and tossed Holliday the second pistol.”

No contemporary records have been found of either Bailey’s death or of the shed fire. In addition, Lake said, Big Nose Kate denied that Holliday killed “a man named Bailey over a poker game, nor was he arrested and locked up in another hotel room.” Kate laughed at the idea of “a 116-pound woman, standing off a deputy, ordering him to throw up his hands, disarming him, rescuing her lover, and hustling him to the waiting ponies.”

Ben Traywick, considered an expert on Earp, also doubts that Holliday killed anyone that day. “I could find no newspaper article or court record to support the story. There was some evidence that Holliday was being held in his hotel room under guard, but it was for ‘illegal gambling’.” As for Big Nose Kate, she did start a fire as a diversion to free Holliday. That part is true. But the story published about Bailey as printed in the San Francisco Enquirer was “likely fabricated by the writer.”

The Old Bita Hochee Trading Post: A “Time Capsule” From A By-Gone Era

By Tom Surface

One Diné artist’s vision for the historic site’s future The morning sun in the east warms the shoulders of the great trading post as it faces west, waiting for the start of the coming day’s buying and selling….

That was 1920 not 2020!

The former Bita Hochee Trading Post sits on eight acres of beautiful land at the base of a red rock butte (Bita Hochee is Diné (Navajo) meaning red rock running through).

In his studio, now part of the old trading post, renowned artist Redwing Ted Nez singlehandedly fought the tribal bureaucracy and won in his mission to restore the dilapidated site – formerly the heartbeat of economic and social activity for the southern area of the Navajo reservation. “Back then, the Bita Hochee Trading Post was like Walmart,” Redwing says. He knows intimately the red rocks and buttes that define this striking area. As a child, he ran sheep through a nearby pass and let them graze while he ran to Bita Hochee to buy an ice cream or soda.

Redwing’s goal in restoring the old Bita Hochee Trading Post is focused on preserving Navajo traditions and arts while creating a place where all people, especially the younger generations, can come to learn and enjoy Diné culture.

“Bita Hochee is a “time capsule” of a by-gone way of life for our people. Our mission is to rekindle the interest of contemporary youth and the community in Diné heritage and culture,” Redwing states. The renovated site will serve as a non-profit artistic and cultural center where young and old can come together to teach, and learn from one another.”

A VITAL CROSSROADS AND GATHERING POINT The Bita Hochee was first established in 1870 and functioned as a stagecoach station. Due to the tenuous relationship between the white man and the Indians at the time, small openings were built into the walls as gun ports. Ten years later it became a full-fledged trading post, and because of its location at the edge of the southern border of the reservation, it became known as the “Gateway to the Navajo Nation.”

The Bita Hochee became the place for the Navajo to gather to trade their wool, woven rugs, and other items for goods they could never acquire otherwise. The wares on the shelves of the Bita Hochee were both mystical and mesmerizing to the Navajo. Many Navajo children tasted their first hard candy here, traded for or occasionally given as a treat by the proprietor. The white continued on page 12

Redwing Nez

A Diné Renaissance Man and Artist of Many Talents

By Tom Surface

Redwing’s latest work, “Light Within Men”

Renowned artist, traditional Diné sandpainter, author, conservationist, and even movie actor, Redwing Ted Nez is an individual of many talents. An artist with wide-ranging skills and well known for his traditional paintings, murals and illustrations, he is also noted for his contemporary oil and acrylic paintings.

Born in 1960 and raised on the Navajo reservation in northern Arizona, he trained as a traditional sandpainter. His paternal grandfather was a “healer” and as a 9-year-old, Redwing was called on to help with drawing sandpaintings on the ground for various traditional Diné ceremonies.

PAINTING FOR TRADING It was the Bita Hochee Trading Post operator in the mid-1960s that set a very young Redwing on his path as an artist. “The trading post had a shiny toy pistol that I really wanted. So speaking in Navajo, the old trader offered to trade for the toy pistol if I made a weaving. I soon realized I could not weave, so I started drawing. The trader worked with me and suggested new colors and symbols,” he explained. The deal was finally made and he got his pistol.

But it was his maternal grandmother who opened his eyes to the beauty of painting and colors. “My grandma had a book of Renaissance artists and their colorful paintings. And our preacher also had a gold covered book with paintings that I would look at. I then went to work

trying to match all those bright colors and skin tones using my crayons,” Redwing added.

Redwing notes that the first real promoter of his art was Joseph Pepe’ Masis, who came to this country as a student from Costa Rica. He later served in the U.S. military in Vietnam and worked for years with railroad company Conrail. Masis invested in railroad stock and later would come into Redwing’s studio and buy everything he had. “He did this for several years and sold my works to galleries and collectors,” said Redwing.

“I was suddenly getting my work recognized both in the U.S. and even overseas.” Masis is also the person who first encouraged Redwing to save and revitalize the old Bita Hochee Trading Post.

Redwing and his works achieved widespread notoriety as the profiled artist in the November 1994 issue of Southwest Art Magazine, where the editors also took note of his emerging artistic career. His complex contemporary works draw from Redwing’s Diné (Navajo) heritage and include imagery and symbols such as birds and corn stalks, symbols of the four seasons, rainbows and lightening. In the visually striking canvasses, Redwing shows an old Hogan on the grounds cornstalks frequently play a central role. “We worship white corn,” he explains; “morning corn, the corn of life. of The Bita Hochee Trading Post It’s a prayer, a chant.”

He has exhibited and won numerous awards in shows throughout the American Southwest, including at the prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market and at the Museum of Northern Arizona. He also is the author and illustrator of Forbidden Talent, a children’s book about a young Navajo boy who loved to create art. Oh yes, he also appeared as a Sioux warrior in 1990 classic film “Dances with Wolves.”

GROWING NOTORIETY In the years since his profile in Southwest Art Magazine, Redwing has earned a number of major commissions including his work for Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. Redwing was commissioned to paint “Dwellers of the First World,” a 52” x 48” oil on canvas painting depicting the Anasazi who lived in Mesa Verde circa 1200 A.D. This work now adorns the Visitors Center at the park. He was also selected to create a mural commemorating the 2012 State of Arizona Centennial. Nez was commissioned to paint the 60-foot long mural that now graces the wall along Centennial Walkway facing Flagstaff’s historic train station, on Route 66, where the Flagstaff Visitor Center is located.

In the project of selecting a Centennial artist for the significant and very public assignment, “Redwing’s submission was absolutely the very, very best,” said acclaimed Grand Canyon artist Bruce Aiken, who chaired the commission. “He’s a very accomplished muralist and a highly skilled painter, and we’re thrilled to have him as the centennial muralist for Flagstaff.” In the mural, the largest Nez had ever done, the cultural, historic and natural aspects of what it means for people living in Flagstaff are depicted. Next, Redwing plans to begin work on an initiative for the Gene Autry Museum of the American West in California.

Redwing prefers the traditional painting designs and media as opposed to some of the more modern graffiti-style that is more in vogue today. “I want to enlighten people on our history, culture, and heritage,” he states.

Redwing Nez currently works out of his studio in the now-defunct Bita Hochee Trading Post, built around 1870 on the Navajo reservation. He knows intimately the red rocks and buttes that define this striking area. The once thriving center of so much social activity for the Diné was slated to have its neglected buildings razed but Redwing single-handedly stood off the bulldozers. It is his strongest desire that the buildings be restored and reborn as an artistic and cultural center that can, once again, become an integral part of life for the Diné people.

Today, Redwing Nez’s works can be found in galleries throughout the Southwest or you can reach out to him directly via his e-mail: bitahochee_paint@yahoo.com.

continued from page 8 traders were more than happy to deal with the Navajo. The quality of the wool, native crafts, blankets, pottery, and paintings made any trade a good one.

The Navajo would sometimes spend several days at the post bartering their wool or craft items, and socializing with other members of the tribe. Because of the vastness of the reservation, and the arduous mode of transportation (by horseback, wagon, or on foot), members of the tribe did not cross paths that often.

The Bita Hochee served as the departure point to basic training sites for area service members from World War II through Viet Nam. Even some of the famous Navajo Code Talkers departed by bus to Pacific combat destinations and history making, although the world wouldn’t realize their critical war contributions for more than 25 years. The grave of Theo Thysing, a U.S. Calvary soldier who became the first trading post operator in the 1880’s, also rests on the grounds behind the main buildings.

Although the management of the Bita Hochee Trading Post changed hands many times over the years, it remained a valuable connection for the Navajo Nation to the outside world. It was the local post office and medical facility and where local Diné gathered to get their Social Security checks. In the late 1950s, two “city slickers” from back east sat on the Bita Hochee’s porch buying soda pop for the locals while trying to convince them to vote “donkey instead of elephant.” According to local old-timers, those two politicians were Senator John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby. Even Mercury 7 Astronaut Wally Schirra visited the old trading post after one of his journeys into space.

Over time, convenience stores and the ability of people to travel to nearby towns to shop made the Bita Hochee obsolete. The Navajo tribe took over the Bita Hochee and closed it for good in 1994. It appeared that the post was destined to become a pile of crumbled stones and windblown memories.

Redwing Nez points to where an old sheep corral was located.

Fortunately, a mistake at tribal headquarters set the stage for saving the Bita Hochee.

The Bita Hochee was mistakenly flagged as a site where the Hanta virus was located. Later, a crew arrived with bulldozers prepared to destroy the trading post. Standing in their way was Redwing Ted Nez. Redwing parked continued on page 17

Did Doc Holliday Gut a Texas Gambler with a Bowie Knife? continued from page 11

Some Historians Cast Doubt On The Incident

By Richard Kimball Sometime during the late 1870s, a Georgia dentist named John Henry Holliday moved west for his health. He had developed tuberculosis and his doctor suggested the dry air of the Western frontier might be helpful. Holliday had a degree in dentistry from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery and was able to set up a practice in Texas. However, he soon discovered that his true calling lay elsewhere. He loved to gamble.

He eventually became known as Doc Holliday, a pale and sickly-looking young man, but one who would never back away from a fight.

Doc Holliday His good friend, Wyatt Earp, often told stories about Doc Holliday’s life in Texas, especially the one about the famed dentist’s fight with a man named Ed Bailey. The story goes like this: According to Earp, Doc Holliday killed Bailey with a Bowie knife in John Shannsey’s Saloon. This occurred sometime during the fall of 1877, near Fort Griffin, Texas. Bailey had been caught “monkeying around” with the cards in the discard pile. Holliday warned him several times to stop looking through the cards but was ignored. It may have been Bailey’s fault anyway. He was a local town bully and used to having his own way. He was not intimidated by the pale sickly man who sat across from him at the other end of the table. He kept playing around with the discards to intimidate Holliday.

They were playing poker in a community near Fort Griffin, Texas. Bailey, heedless of Holiday’s warnings, continued to look through the used cards. When he thumbed through the discards a third time, the dentist had had enough. The rules of the game distinctly prohibited such action. Holliday leaned over the table and raked away all the money in the pot. He was within his rights to do so, according to the rules of Western Poker, but Bailey didn’t see it that way. He viewed his opponent’s action as a direct challenge. Bailey reached down underneath the table and pulled his six-gun out of its holster. But before he could pull the trigger, Holliday slashed a big Bowie knife across his stomach. As his guts spilled out to the floor, Bailey dropped his pistol and clutched his middle. He was dead within minutes.

Witnesses? Of course, there were witnesses. The saloon was full of men who could testify that Holliday acted in self-defense. Unfortunately, the town had no jail and the lawman who arrested the sickly gambler could only detain him in a hotel room until a circuit judge arrived and that could be weeks away. Bailey’s friends, however, decided to get a vigilante group together and try Doc with a little “frontier justice.”

One man, carrying a stout rope, was seen walking down the street toward the hotel.

Earlier, Doc Holliday met Mary Katherine Horony, a dance hall girl who sometimes supplemented her income as a prostitute. Holliday had apparently been

continued from page 12 his van at the entrance of the post, and refused to move. He knew the trading post was not a site of the Hanta virus. He had also grown up on the steps of the Bita Hochee. It had introduced him to many things in life, including his painting, and he knew how important it had been to his people. Redwing stood his ground. A few telephone calls later, the mistake was discovered, and the bulldozers were sent away.

BITA HOCHEE TODAY Redwing started his campaign to save and restore the old trading post in 1999. His vision is to restore the original buildings as a cultural center includes a library with an historical archives and a study facility open to the public. Upon completing that phase of restoration, Redwing plans to petition for registration as a National Historic Site. Redwing and his non-profit organization and team have navigated a bureaucratic battlefield with a truckload of required documents to win approvals for renovations. It took years to clean out the old deserted buildings, remove asbestos, and dig up the old fuel tanks. Local volunteers pitched in to rebuild old structures with rocks from the hillside. A cattle guard is now in place. Electrical power is restored to the old wool storage building that also serves as Redwing’s studio. A water line from a nearby church and residence will be extended to the facility. An archeological research project insures that Page 20 new construction and digging does not disturb any prehistoric sacred sites.

Grave of Theo Thysing, first trading post operator.

For more than 20 years, Redwing has remained relentless in his restoration mission. He appreciates all of the local and outside support he continues to receive. He welcomes visitors to stop by the trading post and his studio. Those interested can always arrange a visit or learn more by contacting him via e-mail August 2015 THE INDIAN TRADER at: bitahochee_paint@yahoo.com.
