Native American artistry and Old West history take center stage in this Classic Collectibles Auction, led by a majestic pair of 6-foot hand-carved Frank Gallagher Cigar Store Indians (Lots 3 and 3a), an early gesso-over-wood advertising figure (Lot 2a), and two historic 1844 London Edition George Catlin lithographs (Lot 2348). The collection features an extraordinary range of Plains weaponry, beadwork, and ceremonial art, including a Northern Plains bear effigy catlinite pipe bowl (Lot 2335), an 1880s tacked leather belt with knife and sheath (Lot 2314), and an 1820s cast iron trade tomahawk (Lot 2317). Bidders will also find exceptional Indigenous textiles, pottery, and basketry spanning the 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighted by an intricate 1910 Western Apache bowl (Lot 2406) and a 1920 Pima coiled basket (Lot 2353). Western outlaw lore comes alive through a spirited series of hand-carved folk art figures portraying legends like Jesse James (Lot 302) and Billy the Kid (Lot 309), displayed alongside authentic Visalia batwing chaps (Lot 2407) and an operational 1/2 scale .32 caliber Gatling gun (Lot 2253).
