William Henry Dethlef Koerner was born in Lunden, Germany, and became a noted magazine and book illustrator whose work was characterized by strong draftsmanship and an eye for detail.

He immigrated with his family to the United States in 1880, and settled in Clinton, Iowa. At the age of 20, he became an illustrator for the Chicago Tribune and by 1901, he was attending classes at the Art Institute in Chicago, he later enrolled in the Art Students League in New York. When illustrator Howard Pyle accepted him for formal instruction, it was a major career boost.

Between 1919 and 1922 the Saturday Evening Post asked Koerner to illustrate two series: “Traveling the Old Trails,” and “the Covered Wagon.” As a result of these assignments, Koerner developed an interest in the West and in 1924, he headed West, he went as far as Cooke City, Montana, near the northern section of Yellowstone Park. In 1928, Koerner’s fame as an illustrator was at its peak and Zane Grey, the popular novelist, used his illustrations in many of his novels. Koerner worked primarily from New York but kept a summer studio near the Crow reservation in Montana. His illustrations are known for his bold brushwork with a vibrant color palette.

He later lived in New Jersey and built a studio there, which is displayed intact at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West (Whitney Museum of Western Art) in Cody, Wyoming. He died in 1938 at the age of 58.

1087 - A. D. M. COOPER (1856-1924)

Untitled (Nude woman with Lucifer) Oil on Canvas 107”x 55 1/2” Signed A.D.M. Cooper 1905 lower left Framed to 114 1/2” x 70”

An outstanding example of the large format works that made Cooper famous in saloons both across the West and internationally. Executed in his iconic tromp l’eoil style, which utilizes light and shadow to fool the viewer into seeing the image as a 3D rendering, with some of Cooper’s best paintings causing a ruckus when people believed that they were real, such as the Cleopatra painting he exhibited at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, which caused at least one viewer to rush the painting that depicted the oil-and-canvas woman. This example depicts the devil in a jester’s garb and red toga with gigantic batwings behind him, hoisting an unconscious woman over his left shoulder. She is adorned with a sheer lace gown, which has partially become unravelled as Lucifer flies her to hell, with golden bracelets about her wrists and biceps, and a central golden bangle wrapped around her waist. Her long blond hair flows down as her head is slumped to the slide, and one breast is exposed as she is carried away, illuminated by fierce red light coming from just “off screen”. They are pursued by various traditionally-nefarious creatures, including a wide eyed owl over Cooper’s signature, and a swarm of bats illuminated by a full moon. Dated 1905, when Cooper was painting his most famous works, such as Relics of the Past, and was working heavily with themes of nostalgia and religion.

He was one of Hollywood’s first Western stars and helped define the genre as it emerged in the early days of the cinema. He worked at the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch and appeared in the Wild West. He stood out as a skilled horseman and expert shot, winning national riding and roping contests at Prescott, Arizona, in 1909, and Canon City, Colorado. In 1935, Texas governor James V. Allred named Mix an honorary Texas Ranger. Mix became friends with Wyatt Earp and was a pallbearer at Earp’s funeral in January 1929. His honors and awards are for too many to mention here.

In the early 1880s, Larios moved to San Francisco working for L.D. Stone and Co and becoming one of the only spurmakers ever referenced by name in a company catalog when they proudly noted in 1888 that “We have Mr. A. Larios, who is the best workman in that line on the Coast engaged in making Wrought Bits and Spurs, and can make any particular style wanted”. While much of Larios work was unmarked, the pieces he did marked used either with his name and a model number or a horse head in a circle.

Don Ellis grew-up in Seattle where he was a self-taught silversmith and engraver. During his younger years as a rodeo rider, Don created his first rodeo trophy buckle for Ellensburg, Washington rodeo events. By the 1940s he was making silver saddles as well as gold and silver buckles. In the early 1950s Don created the lavish gold and silver presentation buckles for the Rodeo Cowboy Association and completed his crowning achievement, the Wes Williams’ saddle that is on display at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. This saddle is embellished with over 50 pounds of sterling silver, gold figures and a gold and silver horsehead saddle horn. Don is often referred to as the “Ed Bohlin of the Pacific Northwest” when, in fact, his exquisite style of engraving met or even exceeded the best that the famed Hollywood Saddle Maker to the Stars had to offer.

1161 - BREATHTAKING EDWARD H. BOHLIN “MACHRIS” PARADE SADDLE

Considered one of the standout pieces in the entire George Pitman collection, this exquisite two-tone brown floral carved Bohlin / Hollywood sterling and gold parade saddle, custom made for Louise Cottam of Santa Barbara, California, in the late 1930s is a slight variation on the Machris model that debuts in the 1937 Bohlin catalog one page following the “Cottam” saddle named for Louise’s husband, Russell. According to Bohlin expert and author, James H. Nottage, “Louise and her husband, Russell both had fine Bohlin outfits which they rode in parades, horse shows and rodeos. Hers, in many ways more elegant, won prizes at the Santa Barbara Fiesta Days, the Bakersfield Frontier Days and other gatherings”. The saddle features a figure-eight floral pattern and multiple pictorial carvings including a longhorn on the 14” seat and a beautifully detailed let ‘er buck cowboy on the fenders which, according to Nottage, is characteristic of the work of Bohlin leather carver extraordinaire, Gabriel Diaz. The saddle itself is artistically adorned with leaf pattern conchos along the full perimeter interspersed with Bohlinmade silver spots. The entire front and cantle are fully silvered with a twisted rope edged gullet, horn cap with gold bucking horse and cantle cover. The leather saddle strings protrude just below an engraved silver and gold horsehead concho. The skirts and fenders are mounted with intricately engraved silver corner plates with gold vignettes featuring a bucking horse, longhorn, and one depicting Louise showing her horse picking up a lead into a canter and featured in a full page photo on pg 126 of Saddlemaker to the Stars. The elegant 22” Tapaderos are mounted with multiple gold horsehead conchos while the Breast Collar continues the overall silver leaf & silver spot theme but adds a bold central medallion with the name “Louise” in raised gold script above a golden show horse. A second Breast Collar is also included and appears to be of slightly later manufacture (1940s) mounted with round Bohlin horsehead conchos and a different style of Bohlin spots plus a centered three-dimensional gold longhorn concho. The fully matching Bridle continues the leaf and gold horsehead theme and is affixed to a matching bit and ferruled romal reins with adjustable slide. Saddle set includes a brown and white wool Corona Pad plus original cinch. Very fine, 100% original condition, circa 1937-1939 PROVENANCE: EX George Pitman Collection, Rancho Santa Fe, CA

1178 - (A) PRIME CUSTER RANGE AINSWORTH INSPECTED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER ATTRIBUTED TO EDWARD LEIBY.

Manufactured circa 1874 in standard military configuration. “A” Ainsworth inspector markings observed on barrel, frame, and cylinder. 1 piece walnut grips are matching, with serial number in backstrap channel. Colt Single Action Army serial number 5451 is part of historically significant Lot Five. It is considered the prime lot from which the 7th Cavalry were issued their revolvers before leaving for the Black Hills on July 2, 1874. Ejector rod assembly is a replacement, with later kidney shaped ejector rod head and tube being slotted and modified for easier use and cleaning sometime circa the 1890s. Accompanying this revolver is a Kopec letter, as well as provenance from when this gun was previously sold in 2007. In the accompanying provenance, this gun was acquired from a descendant of Edward Leiby, who reportedly served in the 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 10th Cavalries in the West, and this gun was handed down through the family until 1964. Also included are copies of a letter dated October 29th, 1864, to Mrs. Leiby (Edward’s mother) from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, stating that Edward was wounded in battles in western Missouri and Kansas while serving in the 3rd Cavalry and that he was being well cared for. Complete with period unmarked leather holster and belt rig. CONDITION: Good, with virtually all of the original finish turned a gray patina with the exception of edges of ejector tube. Grips have been lightly sanded and refinished with small repair near right heel. Wood varnish is visible on top and bottom of backstrap. Mechanically fine with all 4 hammer stops. Bore is lightly frosted with sharp rifling. Holster is in fair condition. A good condition revolver from a historically significant lot in United States and Western history, accompanied by provenance and a holster that would make for an interesting piece for a Colt or Western collection.

(Estimate: $22,000 - $28,000)

1179 - (A) COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY U.S. ARTILLERY REVOLVER

Like most cleaned and refurbished Colt US Cavalry revolvers that were altered around the 1890 period, this gun has mixed numbers. The frame is number 120357. The trigger guard is number 50586 with HN (Henry Nettleton) inspector stamp. The back strap is number 6808 with A (Ainsworth) inspector stamp at top. The cylinder number is 0385 with HN Nettleton stamp & proof P. There is an S&O stamped on back of cylinder. The barrel is number 5499. The barrel has Colt one line barrel address. The frame has three line patent address with U.S. stamp. Grips are one piece walnut. The ejector rod head is second type. Finish is standard blue and case color. This gun has been partially restored since 1890. The trigger guard has the VP proof stamp meaning is was proofed for smokeless powder sometime around 1904 or later. In addition, the serial number font is incorrect as is the HN stamp which was done in a wide block font so this is a later trigger guard that was re-stamped. The barrel lacks an inspector and has been re-roll die stamped. The mainspring is a replacement. Also, a few screws have been replaced. CONDITION. The barrel has had some wiped on finish. The cylinder retains about 60% of the arsenal applied blue. The frame retains about 30% case colors, some quite strong with the balance having pattered out. The hammer shows some strong color. The frame patent dates are weak but legible. Grips have been refinished and cannot read inside pencil number. The action indexes but is clunky and leaving a deeper than normal drag line. The bore is sharp but frosted. All that said, it is a nice looking gun with clean appearance. This gun comes with a saddle leather quality Wild Bill (Cleaver) holster. It is a double loop , fringed, bead decorated with a silver cross. It is in excellent shape.

1212 - WHITE BULL’S HISTORIC LEDGER AND STORY BOOK

An important historical document relating the Indian battles in the west. The book is both visual and informative. The White Bull ledger book was created in the late 19th to early 20th century. It was written and drawn by White Bull (nephew of Sitting Bull) and records coups, combats, and winter counts of the Sioux. White Bull claimed to have killed Custer, an although this may or may not be true, the ledger book records battle scenes drawn by White Bull and probably is recording his fight with Custer and many other of his own personal battles. The book is a total of (162) pages, (120) with writing, (33) drawings, (28) blank pages many of which are across from a drawing. It is an intact document, most ledgers have been separated and sold page by page. The book measures 14” x 8 1/2” x 3/4” thick.

Author Mike Cowdrey has written “This Ledger book is White Bull’s personal and original biographical account. In terms of Lakota historiography, this volume is comparable in importance to the diaries of Thomas Jefferson – a unique and irreplaceable resource.”

White Bull (1849 – 1947) was the nephew of Sitting Bull, and a famous warrior in his own right. White Bull participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25, 1876. After the battle, White Bull joined his uncle, Hunkpapa Sioux leader Sitting Bull, while fleeing to Canada.

Wesley William Wimmer, a 4th generation Californian who’s grandparents arrived at Sutter’s Fort in Sacramento in 1846, was born and lived most of his life in San Luis Obispo, Calif. Wes spent his youth as a ranch hand alongside his father until he enlisted in the Army during the closing days of WWI and then moved to Paso Robles. in 1920 he went to work cowboying on the Cuyama Ranch with Jess Wilkensen as his cattle boss and later worked on the Cojo and Cummatta Ranch for Miller and Lux. During the 1920s, Wimmer spent most of his days in the saddle while at night learning to make horsehair ropes, rawhide reins and hackamores. Wes was well into his 30s before he began making bits and spurs while often crediting Frank Mayfield (1965-1929) as an early inspiration. In the 1930s Wes began selling a few pieces to local ranchers in the Santa Barbara area while also working for the Forestry Department. He soon married and set-up shop behind his home in Paso Robles for leather working and silversmithing. Wes built primarily bits and didn’t even make his first pair of spurs until he retired from the post office in 1968. Many of Wimmer’s bits were of the Santa Susanna cheek style and his few spurs were often based on designs from the G.S. Garcia catalog.

Leo Carrillo (1880-1961) was part of an old and respected Californian family who could trace his roots back to the conquistadores. He is best remembered for his role from the television series The Cisco Kid, on which he portrayed the sidekick Pancho, a role that he had previously played in several films. For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Leo Carrillo has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1635 Vine Street.

He was born Leopoldo Antonio Carrillo on August 6, 1881 in Los Angeles, California, the son of Juan José Carrillo. His great-grandfather Carlos Antonio Carrillo was the first provisional governor of California.

In Hollywood, he appeared in more than 90 films and was frequently cast as excitable, malaprop-ridden Spaniards and Italians in supporting or character roles. From 1950 through 1955, Carrillo co-starred with Duncan Renaldo in the popular TV western series The Cisco Kid, playing Cisco’s sidekick Pancho, a role that he had previously played in several films. After The Cisco Kid ended production, Carrillo appeared in the episode “Rescue at Sea” of the syndicated military drama, Men of Annapolis. Leo Carrillo was in charge of the annual Fiesta de Santa Barbara, and at one juncture was appointed to the State Park Commission; there still exists a California beach named in Carrillo’s honor.

Carrillo died of cancer on September 10, 1961, aged 80, and was interred in Santa Monica’s Woodlawn Memorial Cemetery.

1255 - (A) HISTORIC WESTERN HISTORY HENRY MODEL 1860 LEVER ACTION RIFLE ATTRIBUTED TO JACOB RIDEOUT.

This rifle is featured in the George Madis Winchester book as well as in the book “The Historic Henry Rifle” by Wiley Sword on page 83 by serial number. This rifle was one of a 90 gun shipment to Ft. Knox Maine in 1864 and was issued to Lt. Ezra Rideout of the 15th Maine on September 25th, 1864 which is were they were stamped “Ft. KNOX MAINE” and was with him when he was sent to Washington D.C. as a provost guard of the capitol. When that deployment ended, soldiers were allowed to take their Henry rifles with them as part of their compensation. Apparently, this rifle was given as a wedding present to his brother, Jacob Rideout, in 1869. This was documented by Jacob and Mrs (Mattie) Rideout’s daughter, Edna, in an article that was reprinted in “The Border Queen” a History of Caldwell Kansas by Donald White published in 1999. In his tome, Mr. White analyses the book “SIX YEARS ON THE BORDER” by J.B. (MRS.) RIDEOUT, originally published in 1883, in which she relates her and her husband’s westward travel to Caldwell Kansas in 1871 where they resided for six years. Jacob was a traveling preacher and had the calling to go west with the good word. He traveled the Caldwell area preaching until 1878 when his health and Caldwell conditions dictated they move further west. Mr. White writes that on their way to Caldwell, they stopped in Abilene on September 1871, five months after Bill Hickock was elected sheriff in April. They also passed through Wichita on their way in 1871 where the sheriff was Wyatt Earp at the time. The Rideout’s reached Abilene on Sep. 8, 1871 where they stayed a short while and it is written that Jacob preached to prisoners of the jail and spent time visiting with Hickock and deputy Mike Williams. Jacob was still there the day Hickock shot Phil Coe. Also, Jacob had the pleasure to meet with a fellow clergyman, the Reverend Hardin, according to Jacob’s daughter, and that man turned out to be the infamous John Wesley Hardin. She also relates that while traveling by train through Kansas to Abilene, they hid their valuables from the James Gang that were currently robbing passenger trains in the area. They left by train where they traveled to Newton and by wagon to their destinations in the Caldwell area. In Newton, where they spent their first winter, they met the infamous sheriff, Buffalo Bully Brooks. They finally landed in Caldwell in the spring of 1871. There are numerous stories in Mrs. Rideout’s book pertaining to the next six years including outlaws, murders and Indian massacres. In April of 1878, the Rideout’s departed for Colorado and preached around the area until arriving in Contention Arizona Territory sometime between November & March of 1882. This is where he must have had the Henry rifle engraved. As they journeyed up to this point , they traveled the area of the Earp’s, the Cowboys of Curly Bill and the Clanton’s, Billy the Kid and The James and Younger gang. There is more history written about their time in Contention until ending up in Los Angles where it is surmised that they traveled to California with the Earp’s, after the OK Corral battle, from the Contention train station, where Jacob died in 1902 and Wyatt in 1929. All of this history is recorded in the above mentioned books and articles. There is also a lot of information on this Henry rifle pertaining to it’s Civil War service until Ezra took it home. All of these notes are included and both mentioned books can still be purchased. The gun itself features all late features , no serial numbers on screws, and bearing the stamped Fort Know identification on the right side. On the left side is engraved Jacob Rideout Contention Arizona Ter. with a Hoggson style engraved floral bouquet on left and right side surrounded by simple scroll. Standard features include the octagon barrel, correct sights, brass frame and butt plate (also with some engraving), a sling swivel on left side of stock and barrel, matching serial numbers to included inside left tang and butt plate. CONDITION: Very good. The barrel and tube are all brown patina. Barrel legends are legible. Stock shows wear, a hairline crack at front comb, some ill fitting and loose at butt plate and slightly shy to metal at tang. The bore is well defined but has black powder abrasion. Fine working order. This rifle witnessed, or was in, just about every memorable event of the era from the 1865 Washington Grand Review through the time and around all of the most notable Western personalities & incidents of that tumultuous era.

1256 - (C) COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER SHIPPED TO CELEBRATED WESTERN ARTIST C.M. RUSSELL

This revolver is a classic Colt Frontier Six Shooter with a 7 – ½” barrel and blued and case colored finish and Colt hard rubber grips. Importantly, it is accompanied by a factory letter identifying this gun by serial number as shipped to Russell Sporting Goods Company for C.M. Russell on November 3rd, 1926, in a shipment of 1. Research indicates that Russell’s was a store in New York City. Russell was known to occasionally visit New York for business in the winter, and it appears that the gun was sent to the city for him to retrieve on one of those trips. Tragically, Russell died of heart failure in 1926, a mere 8 days before the gun shipped. Charles Marion Russell was born on March 19th, 1864, at just the right time to engage with the newly expanding Western frontier and record perhaps the most formative era in American history. He had always harbored an interest in the untamed West, reading about the subject and interacting with fur traders and other adventurers in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, as a young man. At 16, he took a life-altering trip to Judith Basin, Montana, where he sought employment as a cowboy, a vocation he was, apparently, ill-suited for at such a tender age. While he was in Montana, he met Jake Hoover, a rancher who owned land in the Basin, who took Russell under his wing and taught him the ropes of the rough-and-tumble lifestyle, enabling Russell to work for a number of employers, including the O-H Ranch, and the two would remain lifelong friends. 

It was during this time that Russell became famous for his artistic work. He had always displayed artistic talent, sculpting in clay and sketching scenes as a young man, and he continued to employ these talents while he was working as a night herder, including the particularly brutal winter of 1886. When the owner of the O-H Ranch wrote to the ranch to inquire as to how the winter had gone, the foreman simply sent him a watercolor that Russell had painted of an emaciated steer encircled by patiently waiting wolves. The ranch owner kept the painting, showed it to many of his friends, and displayed it in a shop window. As a result, commissions for Russell began to come in, and Russell ultimately would revisit the work and expand on it, naming it Waiting for a Chinook, and it became one of his trademark works. 

In 1888, Russell lived with Kainai, a branch of the Blackfoot people, after he was invited to live with them by Black Eagle, their chief, as he returned from a trip to Canada. During this time, Russell learned of the intimate details of Indian life, including their languages, religious ceremonies, stories, and social mores. This intimate love for the Native Americans manifested itself in his art, which portrayed figures like Sleeping Thunder and other heroes.  In 1893, Russell quit the cowboy life in favor of being a fulltime artist. Managed by his wife Nancy, he became immensely popular and critically acclaimed, with international recognition following Russell’s works. He spent the next 33 years painting, sculpting, and drawing some 4,000 pieces, cementing his reputation as a cowboy artist, a title that follows him today. Russell’s works are in high demand as one of those who illustrated and depicted the changing West as it happened, and he has had multiple pieces break the mythical million dollar mark, and two that broke five million.

Barrel retains approximately 40% of the factory bluing with thinning and some chemical staining towards muzzle, with some pinprick oxidation at crown.

Straps are essentially gunmetal grey, with better coverage ahead of the trigger guard. Grips are heavily smoothened but fit extremely well. Mechanically fine, bore is very good with strong rifling.  Towards the end of his life, C.M. Russell became very pessimistic about the state of the West, and was known to make remarks such as “The West is dead...you may lose a sweetheart, but you won’t forget her.” Perhaps as he longed for the days of his youth, unfettered and free, he decided to order a material representation of that time, choosing the most iconic Colt he could think of and no doubt saw often and was intimately familiar with. After all, a cowboy at heart, Russell may have wanted to die with his boots on and Colt in hand.

Charles M. Russell and Joe De Yong had much in common. They were both painters from the St. Louis area who moved to Montana for the cowboy life. Once they made their connection, this powerful relationship would change both their lives.

By January 1916, Joe, nicknamed “Kid Currycomb,” was living with the Russells. De Yong worked as an apprentice to Russell in exchange for watching the house and feeding the animals when the Russells were away on their extensive exhibition schedule.

While working for Russell, De Yong’s deafness was no longer a disability. He and Russell’s use of the Indian Sign Language, at which Russell was an expert, helped create a strong bond of communication between the two and cemented their relationship. Russell and De Yong would hand-talk back and forth about horses, the West, and they also often went to the latest silent Western movies. De Yong was a loyal friend and confidant, and Charlie and Nancy Russell considered him the son they never had.

The relationship continued for about ten years, an experience that helped De Jong hone his art skills painting, sketching, illustrating, etching, and sculpting. De Yong became friends with Howard Eaton, whose family had ranches in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, and through this connection he spent much time painting in these locations, going first to Yellowstone in 1920.

He later resumed his travels with Russell, including a stop at Bull Head Lodge on Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. Stopping in East Glacier Park, they visited the famed, deaf Blackfeet wood sculptor John L. Clarke. De Yong and Clarke would remain close friends for fifty years.

PRESENTING THE FRED HARMAN MUSEUM OF ART COLLECTION AND PERSONAL PROPERTY OF FRED HARMAN JR.

Fred was best known for his comic strip Red Ryder and Little Beaver, he was also a noted painter of scenes of the American West.

Born in St. Louis, Missouri and as an infant moved with his family to Pagosa Springs, Colorado where his father was a lawyer. He grew up on a ranch where he associated with the local Ute, Apache, Navajo, and Paiute Indians, and as a child he spent much time sketching these people. As an adult, he traveled and painted throughout the country inhabited by them.

In 1916, he moved to Kansas City but returned regularly to Colorado to work as a cowboy and then to serve in the National Guard during World War I. While in Kansas City in the 1920s, he made slides for silent movie houses and formed his own animated cartoon company with a friend and local artist, Walt Disney, but they were not successful, and Disney left for California. In 1924, Harman worked for an engraving company in St. Joseph, Missouri, illustrating catalogs for cowboy wear.

In 1933 Harman had begun drawing a comic strip named Bronc Peeler about a red-headed hero who used his fists and six-shooters to round up rustlers, bandits, and other such archetypal western villains. Harman self-syndicated the daily strip and it was successful enough that he was able to sell a Sunday version by 1934. Unfortunately, interest in the strip waned after a few years, and in 1938 he decided to give it up in favor of a job in New York drawing the already successful comic, King of the Royal Mounted. Although that job did not work out for Harman, he hooked up with the strip’s creator, Stephen Schlesinger, who helped him transform Bronc Peeler into a new strip they named Red Ryder. The syndicated cartoon of Red Ryder and Little Beaver, which was published for twenty-four years in 750 daily newspapers and reached 40 million readers. Schlesinger was a skilled promoter and licensing agent. He soon sold Red Ryder to a major syndicate who launched it as a Sunday comic in November 1938, and as a daily the following March. It was an instant success. Less than two years after the strip’s debut, Republic Pictures released a 12-part movie serial based on Red Ryder. Dell reprinted the strip in comic book form starting in 1939, and the Big Little Books pulp series produced ten Red Ryder stories in the 1940s. The Red Ryder radio show started in 1942 and ran for about ten years. Between 1944 and 1947, Republic released 23 feature length Red Ryder movies. Starting in 1947, Harman drew new material for his comic book series which ran for the next seventeen years. The Red Ryder television show produced 39 episodes for the 1956-57 season. Harman’s most enduring licensing deal was with Daisy Air Rifles who bought the right to use the Red Ryder name and image less than a year after the comic strip began.

In 1940, the Harmans had left New York and used money from the early success of Red Ryder to purchase property near Pagosa Springs which they named Red Ryder Ranch. Harman painted his realistic western action scenes throughout the Red Ryder years, but turned to easel painting full-time upon his retirement in 1962. He continued to show with Stendahl Gallery in Los Angeles and enjoyed many successful exhibitions there. In 1965, Harman joined with fellow western painters, John Hampton, George Phippen, Charlie Dye and Joe Beeler, to form the Cowboy Artists of America, an organization that is still the ultimate western art grouping. A book about Harman’s art, The Great West in Paintings, was published in 1969. His home and studio in Pagosa Springs are now a museum of Harman’s life and art.

Harman died in Phoenix, Arizona on Jan. 3, 1982.

1317 - CELEBRITY OWNED EDWARD H. BOHLIN PARADE SADDLE WITH HOLLYWOOD COWBOY HISTORY

An important and exceedingly rare early Bohlinmade black floral carved parade saddle specially ordered utilizing design components from the legendary P.K. Wrigley model Bohlin including the same pictorial corner plates and square figural rope-edged perimeter conchos. Originally made for B-Western movie star Ray “Crash” Corrigan (1902-1976) and later acquired by Charles “Durango Kid” Starrett (1903-1986) who made over 130 westerns. The saddle features a prominently placed tooled leather steer head, intricately engraved silver swell caps, gullet cover and rope style elevated horn cap with gilded bronco buster plus western themed square conchos with running bison, longhorn steer heads and buffalo heads. The Breast Collar continues the square figural concho theme whilst the Bridle with ferruled reins and square horsehead slide appears rebuilt using both original and matching replica conchos recast from the originals. A flattering black and white wool Corona made in the 1980s is also included. Many items, books, photos, papers, etc related to Corrigan and Corranville.

Ray “Crash” Corrigan (born Raymond Benitz / 1902 – 1976) had his screen breakthrough with the starring role in a Republic serial, The Undersea Kingdom, which evoked memories of Universal’s first “Flash Gordon” serial. His character was known as Ray “Crash” Corrigan, and he adopted it as his screen name. He followed playing the role of John C. Fremont in the Western serial The Vigilantes Are Coming. He was cast as one of the trio in the Three Mesquiteers series of westerns, starring in 24 of the 51 “3M” films made by the studio. He later left Republic Pictures in 1938 over a pay dispute. Over at Monogram Pictures, In 1937, Corrigan was on a hunting trip with Clark Gable when he had an idea to purchase land in Simi Valley, California, and use it as a Western-themed ranch similar to Iverson Movie Ranch, he called it Corriganville. Corrigan began a new series of feature westerns shot at Corriganville, The Range Busters, cheap knock-offs of The Three Mesquiteers, with a series character that used his name; between 1940 and 1943, he starred in 20 of the 24 films in this series.

Charles Robert Starrett (1903 – 1986) was best known for his starring role in the Durango Kid westerns. He still holds the record for starring in the longest series of theatrical features: 131 westerns, all produced by Columbia Pictures. Starrett replaced western star Tim McCoy in 1935 at Columbia as it’s lead cowboy.

Provenance: High Noon 1/2006, Lot 348, “By descent through the family of Ted Corder, 2nd husband of Dell Jones”

“Buck Jones”, voted best-liked western star in the early days of “B” westerns, embodied the spirit of a true hero: a good guy who played fair and clean, showed kindness to the elderly, animals, and who seldom shot to kill.

Charles Gebhart was born in Indiana (1891) learning to ride, rope and shoot at his family ranch. After being thrown more often than not, his nickname stuck and he eventually began using “Buck” Jones as a stage name. His cowboy experience enabled him to became a bronc rider and trick roper in the Miller’s 101 Ranch Wild West Show where he met his female rodeo counterpart and future wife, Odille (Dell) Osborne.

They were married on horseback at the Julian Allen Wild West Show in 1915 and promptly headed to Hollywood where they both stunt-doubled for various cowboy stars including May McAvoy, Wm S Hart, Tom Mix and the Farnum Bros. Dell’s career took a hiatus with the birth of their only child, Maxine, while Buck went on to become a full-fledged cowboy star in the 1920s.

Over the next quarter-century Buck made over 150 films for virtually every major studio, starring alongside his popular horse, Silver.

In 1942 Buck went on his 3rd US tour selling and autographing War Bonds for the US Government. On the last night of his tour, at a dinner given in his honor at the Coconut Grove in Boston, fire broke out. On Buck’s third gallant rescue trip back into the burning building, he was overcome by smoke and died 2 days later. He was the only celluloid cowboy star to both portray and die a hero!

THE MCINTYRE AUGUST BUERMANN COLLECTION

We are thrilled to be offering the amazing collection of August Buermann spurs and other special AB items painstakingly put together by Montana collectors Netty and Ted McIntyre.

The collection will be sold over our next 3 sales and includes some of the rarest patterns known, most in phenomenal condition. It has taken them years, lots of miles and that special connection with others to put together this great grouping of spurs.

Born in Germany in 1842, August Buermann eventually moved to the US and enlisted in time for the Civil War. After the war ended in 1865 he began working for a saddle manufacturing company in Newark, New Jersey. Within a couple years he had already bought out his employer and renamed it Buermann Manufacturing Co. Besides being one of the earliest American spur makers, Buermann went on to become the largest. Buermann Manufacturing eventually employed more than 100 people in various locations throughout the US – especially in the West to keep pulse of new styles and demands. They had a catalogue of 440 types of spurs and nearly 500 bit designs that adorned the American cowboy. Though his company was known for being the first to mass produce bits and spurs, he also maintained a couple lines of hand crafted items for customers that demanded the very best. Buermann handed over the company to his son in 1896 and it eventually sold to their longtime competitor, North & Judd, in 1926.

Frankie Paul was a highly accomplished silversmith and saddlemaker who worked for the Ed Gillmore Saddlery in Southern California’s San Fernando valley in 1930s before leaving to start his own popular shop in nearby Arcadia in 1934 -- about the same year as the historic Santa Anita racetrack debuted. Frankie found an enthusiastic and affluent audience for his silver saddles including equestrian parade groups and local Sheriff ’s mounted posses.

Rex Bell was born George Francis Beldam in Chicago, Illinois, moving to California, where he graduated from Hollywood High School in 1923. Rex was good with horses and was naturally placed in western films, picking the name of Rex Bell as his stage name. In the final days of silent films, Bell would become one of many cowboy stars working for Twentieth Century Fox studios, beginning with “The Cowboy Kid” (1928). Despite his lack of formal acting training, he had a warm smile, good looks, and wavy hair that made him attractive, and won him romantic supporting parts in such films as “Salute” (1929), “They had to see Paris” (1929), and “True to the Navy” (1930). It was during this last film, “True to the Navy” (1930) that he met actress Clara Bow, the famous “It” Girl. They quickly became attracted to each other, and within a year, they eloped and got married in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 3, 1931. They decided to set up a home on Bell’s ranch in Searchlight, Nevada. Rex would then travel between his home in Nevada and the Hollywood Studios, while Clara remained on the ranch, becoming a homemaker and mother to their two sons. They remained together until his death. As Rex began to become more involved in Nevada politics, he eased himself out of movie-making and his last major role came in 1942 with “Down on the Great Divide.” He would appear twice more, in uncredited bit parts, in 1952 and in 1961. In 1954, Bell accepted the role of Lieutenant Governor, serving eight years, from 1954 to 1962. Before leaving office, he played an uncredited bit role in the movie “Lone Star” (1952), and then stayed busy in politics, spending weekends at his ranch until 1961, when at the urging of his friend, actor Clark Gable, he played an uncredited bit part of an old cowboy in “The Misfits” (1961). He died the next year from a heart attack while in Las Vegas, Nevada.

1458 - GROS VENTRE/ASSINIBOINE BEADED BRIDLE

Circa 1890 Gros Ventre/Assiniboine (Fort Belknap, Montana) bridle. Featured prominently in Native American Horse Gear by noted collector and author E. Helene Sage. As stated in the text of the book: “Figure 2-11. Bridles: Beaded bridle, Gros Ventre or Assiniboine (Fort Belknap, Montana), c. 1890. Once part of a famous collection of Northern Plains material, this buffalo hide headstall has four huge “bullseye” rosettes and a center forehead ornament with tubular glass beads and fringe that extends below the horse’s nose. Clearly used for parades or ceremonies, this complicated but beautiful headstall combines geometric design elements (cheekpieces and browband) with “feather” and “bar” motifs (keyhole), the significance of which is not clear. The round reins are made of tightly braided rawhide. The iron ring bit (possibly Navajo or of Mexican origin) exhibits three tiers of players that hang below the mouthpiece and are connected to the large ring by four chains. The mouthpiece has a copper-barrel cricket or roller. Unlike the headstall in Figure 2-6, which was designed to fit over a plain leather headstall when needed for parades and ceremonies, this piece is a headstall in itself, with attachment loops for a bit and thick, buffalo leather ties at the crownpiece”.

The beaded headstall shown in Figures 2-11 and 2-12 has been attributed to the Gros Ventre or Assiniboine living at Fort Belknap, Montana. The four “bullseye” rosettes are quite striking and set off the large keyhole with its enigmatic beadwork of “feather” (2 diamonds) and “bar” motifs. The iron ring bit (Figure 2-13) is most likely of Navajo origin and shows the characteristic tiers of players, chains, and high port with copper cricket or roller. In fact, it might pre-date the bridle, as well as the ring bit shown in Figure 2-10 (Brugge and Taylor, 2001). Dimensions: Headstall is 32” x 10 1/2” x 7” depth. Length of the braided reins: 95”. The condition is overall excellent with no restoration.

Included is a signed copy of Native American Horse Gear . Shown: Page 36 (full), 37, back cover of book and dust jacket.

1459 - NOTABLE COLORADO PRISON HITCHED HORSEHAIR BRIDLE AND BIT

This is one of the only identified Canyon City Penitentiary bridles, of particular interest in that it is marked with the inmate’s number - 7275 - on the brow band. It is a fabulous crescent design bit in amazing condition on a combination flat and round black and white bridle. The flat bridle is in unused condition with engraved monel hardware, consistent with Colorado Penitentiary work. The reins, romel and nose piece are heavy duty with matching diamond designs, but do show some minor wear. The bit has classic inlay on with 5 point stars and related star on the central concho. The iron is a pleasant gray throughout and shows no wear. The age of the bit is unknown but probably a late example. It also has a letter of documentation stating that John Bradley, No. 7275, was the maker of this bridle, signed by the superintendent of the Colorado Department of Corrections. Noted in Ned Martin’s book Horsehair Bridles , he states “This remarkable horsehair bridle combines the two disciplines of braiding and hitching horsehair.” Included is a copy of the book “Horsehair Bridles A Unique American Folk Art, Volume 3 of the Bridles of the Americas, by Ned and Jody Martin.

LIMITED GUARANTEE

MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales. The descriptions carry a limited guarantee. It is a guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. This limited guarantee covers authenticity, major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions or major fabrications not disclosed in the description. Examples of what we do not guarantee against, imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, natural imperfections, undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fit issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, bore condition, and other similar differences that are inherent in the antiques and collectible industry. All items are sold for display purposes. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. It is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine by inspection by themselves or a hired professional the exact condition of each item prior to bidding on the item. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration. This limited guarantee is only available to the buyer of record. Please also refer to POST SALE RETURN POLICY at end of terms.

Except as stated in the limited guarantee above, MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation, expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise.

GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES

- MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey.

Prospective buyers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential buyers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions.

It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions.

BIDDER TERMS & CONDITIONS

BIDDING

RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES

The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. MORPHY’S and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. MORPHY’S is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with the internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding.

AGENT BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept bids from an individual agent authorized by a company or another individual. MORPHY’s requires any agent to provide a signed letter of authorization from the buyer of record company or individual allowing the agent to bid on their behalf.

• ABSENTEE BIDDING - - MORPHY’S will accept absentee bids submitted via telephone call, in person, mail, fax or through www.morphyauctions. com. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form (available online) and clearly mark the lot number, title, and maximum bid amount. All bids must be left in increments as explained on our bid form. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. Bidders may preview, register, and place bids online through our website, www.morphyauctions. com. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the MORPHY’S absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated.

• ONLINE BIDDING - - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions.com, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Proxibid, or other bidding platforms may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply. A surcharge will be added for third party online platforms. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium. If there is a tie bid between the online bid and a floor bid, the floor bid takes precedence. Due to our fast-paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, online bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Online bidders are fully responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally.

• BID RESULTS – Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from MORPHY’S. MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, shipping, handling, insurance, taxes, and any other charges that apply. Invoices and any outstanding amount due may and will be auto charged to the credit card on file within 48 hours of the invoice being sent. If you wish to pay by another method, please contact us within 48 hours after the sale.

BID INCREMENTS

RESERVES

Most of our items are unreserved, but occasionally items may carry a moderate reserve. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below our low estimate. In the case of a reserved item, the seller has authorized the auctioneer to bid on their behalf until the reserve price is reached.

BUYER’S PREMIUM

A 20% buyer’s premium will be added to all successful bids and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase cost. A 3% merchant fee is also automatically applied to all invoices but can be discounted upon payment by cash, check, money order or wire transfer that is received within 7 days from the receipt of the invoice. If the type of payment is split, invoice will reflect the 3% charge for merchant fees on the entire invoice. In addition, a surcharge will be added for certain third-party online bidding platforms the bidder utilizes. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium.

SALES TAX

MORPHY’S is required by law to collect sales tax where our company has nexus. Sales tax rate will be charged by law on behalf of the state and locality where the customer of record takes possession of their purchase. Lots are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless the required form and copy of permit are on file with MORPHY’S. It is the bidder’s responsibility to know the sales tax rate applicable. As a convenience and without any guarantee, you may use this website, https://www.taxjar.com/salestax-calculator, as a resource to calculate your applicable sales tax rate. Bidder agrees to pay MORPHY’S the actual amount of tax due if sales tax is not properly collected due to 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form and certificate must be on file at and verified by MORPHY’S five days prior to the auction, or the tax must be paid. If the required form and certificate is received by MORPHY’S within 4 days of the conclusion of the auction, you qualify for a refund for the tax paid. Lots from different auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.

PACKING/SHIPPING

• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping, handling, and insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items.

• BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION

We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee.

• ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Shipping, handling, insurance, and taxes will be added to all invoices that Morphy’s agrees to ship.

Shipping will be based on actual costs provided by UPS, USPS, or other carriers based upon the contents’ size and weight. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the contents and value of the shipment. Oversize and breakable items are not standard shippable items and will require shipment by a 3rd party shipper.

responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee.

– Buyers will need to either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service for oversize items. As a general guideline, the following will indicate which packages apply, as they are of a certain weight, length, or dimensional size.

∙ Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132”

∙ USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size

∙ USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size

∙ International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size

∙ There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases.

• 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE,

DELICATE, FRAGILE

ITEMS - MORPHY’S reserves the right to decline shipment of items based on its fragility. If an item is unable to be shipped in-house, the item will require shipment by a 3rd party or pick up arrangements to be made. MORPHY’s will not ship any items that are neon or contain neon. Other examples of fragile items include glass display cases of any size; coin-operated, arcade and vending items with fragile parts and/or glass; signs with parts or protrusions beyond the main body of the sign, oversized vases, high value lamps and glass of all sizes, high value artwork including but not limited to paintings, statuary, sculpture, figurines, dioramas, and other intricate items; and items subject to impact by moisture and known handling issues in the supply chain. Under no circumstances will MORPHY’S be responsible for shipping damage to picture frames of any kind.

• For any buyers who wish to arrange for their own shipping, MORPHY’S must be notified at least seven (7) days prior to arrival of the shipping company name, arrival date and time. Pickup must be scheduled to begin and end within our normal business hours (9am – 4pm weekdays).
