500 Gallery’s August Pop Modern Mix auction presents bold works in the manner of or attributed to some of the most prominent artists of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. The upcoming sale is set to begin on August 21, 2024 with online bidding available through Bidsquare. Works attributed to Vincent van Gogh, Kazuo Shiraga, Paul Gauguin, and Franz Kline, among others, are of particular interest.
Vincent van Gogh, Attributed: Road with Houses
A brown ink on paper piece attributed to Vincent van Gogh leads this auction (lot #152; estimate: USD 15,000 – $20,000). Titled Road With Houses, this work comes framed under museum glass and is accompanied by a certificate of inspection from art historian and painting conservator Bruce Wood, MFA. The paper, ink, and content of this piece—which depicts several houses and a brick wall lining a road—suggests that it dates back to the late 1880s or early 1890. The work may be an early study for a larger van Gogh painting, titled Village Street in Auvers. Van Gogh moved to Auvers-sur-Oise, a small town northwest of Paris, in the last few months of his life, seeking an escape from the boredom of the Saint-Rémy asylum. He spent his last few months painting the pastoral town.
Kazuo Shiraga, Attributed: Abstract Composition
Another key lot in this sale is an abstract composition attributed to Japanese artist Kazuo Shiraga (lot #72; estimate: $15,000 – $20,000). This oil on canvas is dominated by thick swirls of paint. Shades of red, dark blue, and cream coalesce to build movement and emotion. Shiraga was a member of the avant-garde Gutai Art Association during the 1950s and 60s. This group was known for pushing the boundaries of traditional Japanese art through performance and experimentation, anticipating similar movements in Europe and the United States. Shiraga was particularly known for his original “foot painting” technique, in which he spread thick oil paints on canvas using his feet.
Franz Kline Attributed: Abstract Composition
Elsewhere in the catalog, collectors will find abstract compositions attributed to American Abstract Expressionist painter Franz Kline. Like many of Kline’s works, these works are executed in black and white using bold, sharp strokes (lot #140, estimate: $15,000 – $30,000; lot #25, estimate: $12,000 – $15,000). Works attributed to Georgia O’Keeffe, Joan Mitchell, and Georges Braque are on offer as well.
Bidders can consider the following items in this catalog:
An untitled nude oil on board work attributed to Max Weber (lot #115; estimate: $10,000 – $15,000)
A cast bronze winged demon statue from the 20th century (lot #218; estimate: $8,000 – $12,000)
A collection of five caricature sketches in the style of Pablo Picasso (lot #17; estimate: $4,000 – $6,000)

Numismatists, whether advanced or beginners, will have 377 lots from which to choose, with coveted gold coins leading the selection. A circa 337-361 AD Constantius II, Caesar Constantius, Thessalonica AV (gold) solidus weighing 4.61g shows a diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of a right-facing Constantius on the obverse. The reverse depicts the distinguished ruler standing left and holding a scepter and vexillum, with two signa to his right. It will open for bidding at £1,000 ($1,276).
A stunning circa 311-300 BC Kings of Macedon, Alexander III “The Great” (336-323 BC) gold coin was struck under Seleukos I Nikator of Babylon. On its obverse, the coin portrays Athena facing right and wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a griffin on the bowl, plus a pendant earring and pearl necklace. The reverse shows Nike standing left with wings spread, holding a laurel wreath and stylus. This coin weighs 8.54g and will open at £1,000 ($1,276).
A circa 310-311 BC Kings of Macedon Antigonos I Monophthalmos, AS Strategos of Asia (320-303/5 BC) silver coin displays on its obverse a well-detailed head of Herakles facing right and wearing a lionskin headdress with paws tied before the neck. On the flip side of the coin, Zeus is shown seated on his throne facing left and holding an eagle and long scepter. A weighty 17.26g, this specimen requires an opening bid of £1,000 ($1,276).
Another silver highlight is the circa 430-390 BC Macedon, Akanthos, AR (silver) tetradrachm weighing 14g and adorned on its obverse with the image of a lion with its head upraised, attacking a bull. The reverse is nicely decorated with a quadripartite square with granulated raised fields, all within an incuse square. Bidders are referred to the example shown in the reference book Les Tetradrachmes d’Akanthos by J Desneux. The opening bid is £800 ($1,021).
For eye appeal, it would be hard to beat the military mint Julius Caesar circa April-August 49 BC “Travelling with Caesar” AR (silver) denarius. The eye-catching imagery on its obverse includes an elephant advancing right and trampling on a horned serpent with the word “CAESAR” in the exergue (space below image). A bevy of emblems of the pontificate, including a simpulum, aspergillum, securis and apex, appear on the reverse. The coin requires an opening bid of £500 ($638).
The August 25 session featuring 583 lots of ancient art and antiquities includes many dozens of exceptional Egyptian treasures. One of the top prizes is a painted limestone false door belonging to Itet, priestess of the goddess Hathor and lady of the royal court dating to the period from the end of the Old Kingdom to the beginning of the First Intermediary Period, circa 2181-2160 BC. It is beautifully decorated and inscribed with Itet’s titles and name, as well as formulae to the gods Anubis and Ptah-Sokar in favor of the deceased. The auction example is similar to one in the MET Museum’s collection. Its distinguished provenance reveals it was most recently with a London collector and, before that, a Mayfair (London) family. Prior to that, it was the property of a London professor, in the late 1970s. The relic will convey to its new owner with a report from Simone Musso, a consultant curator for Egyptian antiquities at the Stibber Museum, Florence, Italy; and member of the Nuri Archaeological Expedition. The opening bid is set at £8,000 ($10,205).
An Egyptian bronze dagger of unusual design has an arched guard alongside a pointed blade that tapers to a tip, with an elaborate openwork pommel that flares to secure an oval openwork bone terminal. The weapon dates to the timeframe from the Middle Kingdom to Second Intermediate Period, circa 2055-1640 BC. Like the aforementioned false door of Itet, the dagger is similar to an example held in the MET Museum’s collection. Its size is 310mm by 60mm (12.2in by 2.4in and it weighs 250g. Most recently owned by an Oxfordshire art professional, it was previously in an old Ontario, Canada, collection that was formed in the 1980s. It comes with an expert historical report from Alessandro Neri of Florence, Italy, and will open to bidding at £3,000 ($3,827)
Ancient weapons of war comprise a consistently popular category within Apollo Art Auctions’ list of specialties. On August 25, there’s sure to be strong competition for a circa 500-400 BC Chalcidian helmet of hammered tinned bronze. Its form was initially depicted on pottery believed to have derived from the Euboean (ancient Greek) city of Chalcis. Its details include curved cheekpieces, a very short teardrop-shape nose guard, and open curves to its sides, which were designed to improve battlefield communication. The helmet is similar to an example that sold at Christie’s live auction #1679. It has a lengthy line of London and Continental European provenance that dates back to the Belgian F Breydel collection of the 1970s. It will convey to the winning bidder with an expert historical report from Alessandro Neri. Opening bid: £4,000 ($5,103)
Mediterranean pottery will open the second session, with high-quality Apulian, Attic, Villanovan, Faliscan, and Etrusco-Corinthian vessels amongst the offerings. A rare circa 350-300 BC Apulian red-figure pottery bell krater has been identified as a product of the Como Group. Side A is painted with a scene of two men in tunics, conversing inside the temple of Dionysus. Side B of the program depicts a naked youth, likely Dionysus, standing before an altar and holding a long thyrsus; and Maenad, who also holds a thyrsus. It measures 390mm by 365mm (15.4in by 14.37in) and is similar to an example sold by Christie’s on December 9, 2008. Its line of UK and Continental European provenance traces back to 1982. Accompanied by an expert historical report from Alessandro Neri, it will open for bidding at £2,000 ($2,551).
Collectors of ancient jewelry may be assured that a first-class selection of rings, necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets and jeweled rings will await them in Apollo’s August 25 session. Just one of the many appealing options is a circa 300-100 BCA Hellenistic gold ring designed with a large hexagonal multi-level bezel centered with a rich red cabochon. It weighs 24.4g and comes with an authentication report by ancient jewelry specialist Sami Fortune. Opening bid: £2,000 ($2,551)

During the 20th century, art in Europe and the United States experienced a period of intense metamorphosis. Artists increasingly turned from the soft brushstrokes of Impressionism and the ornate details of Art Nouveau to more abstract, experimental styles. The period gave rise to dozens of distinct 20th-century art movements, many of which responded to the rise of world war and capitalism.
The upcoming August Pop Modern Mix sale from 500 Gallery examines these notable 20th-century art movements through works attributed to or in the manner of some of the most prominent modern artists. Live bidding will begin on August 21, 2024 at 5:30 PM EDT. Read on to find more information about the key artists and styles represented in the catalog.
Manner of Georges Braque, Still Life. Image courtesy of 500 Gallery.
Cubism – Georges Braque
Before Pablo Picasso’s name became synonymous with Cubism, Georges Braque worked alongside his more famous colleague to develop a new way of viewing the world. Braque was a Frenchman who dabbled in Fauvism before taking a more experimental bent. Between 1908 and 1912, Braque started to explore geometry and perspective in his paintings, considering how objects and people could be viewed from multiple angles simultaneously. He collaborated with Picasso until World War I drove them apart.
A Cubist still life painting in the manner of Georges Braque is among the leading lots of this upcoming event (lot #199; estimate: USD 25,000 – $35,000). This geometric scene is rendered in deep, earthy shades of brown and green. A vase, mortar, pestle, and several covered containers are shown on a patchwork table.
Manner of Jean Arp, Fish, 1952. Image courtesy of 500 Gallery.
Dada – Jean Arp
While World War I set Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso on separate artistic paths, the war also gave rise to another 20th-century art movement: Dada. This avant-garde movement spanned visual art, literature, performance, sculpture, and beyond. Faced with catastrophic violence and the horrors of chemical weapons, artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Jean Arp, Max Ernst, and Man Ray rejected reason and aesthetics in their work. They instead turned to irrationality and chaos as a response to the society they lived in. Jean Arp was a key figure in the Dada movement. He was a regular of the Cabaret Voltaire, where fellow Dadaists met and organized, and Arp’s work later contributed to dreamy Surrealism.
An oil on canvas painting in the manner of Jean Arp will be included in the upcoming 500 Gallery event (lot #102; estimate: $8,000 – $12,000). This framed canvas comes to auction from a Madison, Wisconsin private collection. It depicts curved black fish and tadpoles swimming between two large green fronds. The work is signed to the lower right.
Manner of Tom Wesselmann, Smoker, 1975. Image courtesy of 500 Gallery.
Pop Art – Tom Wesselmann
Other radical art movements emerged in the middle of the 20th century. Pop Art grew exponentially in the mid- to late 1950s and focused on incorporating popular culture into fine art. Abstract Expressionism was the dominant style for a period, and younger artists of the mid-20th century increasingly rejected its elaborate paint splatters and emphasis on personal emotion. In the United States, figures such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg began to make art with advertising images, found objects, and magazine clippings. These ideas and methods would be developed further by the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmann.
An oil on canvas titled Smoker in the manner of Tom Wesselmann will be available in this 20th-century art sale (lot #125; estimate: $20,000 – $25,000). Wesselmann rose to fame in the 1960s with his Great American Nude series and assemblage still lifes. He preferred to depict everyday objects, distancing himself from the more consumerist sensibilities of his Pop Art contemporaries. Wesselmann focused one series on mouths, particularly a pair of lipsticked lips holding a cigarette. That imagery appears in the offered lot as well.
The August Pop Modern Mix auction will begin at 5:30 PM EDT on August 21, 2024. Interested collectors may bid live or participate online via Bidsquare. Find additional coverage of this sale on Auction Daily.

The auction house notes that the available lot published by OriginalFake is from the rare limited edition of 500.

The most comprehensive and historically important collection of its type ever to reach the marketplace, Edens’ collection includes one of 8 legendary Heddon ‘factory board’ frogs, hand-carved circa-1898
Angled view of one of the original eight Heddon ‘factory board’ frog lures hand-carved circa 1898 by Heddon Company founder James Heddon. To be auctioned Dec. 10 at Morphy’s Denver, Pa., gallery with a $30,000-$60,000 estimate. Image courtesy of Morphy Auctions
DENVER, Pa. – Dan Morphy, president of Morphy Auctions, has always enjoyed fishing the tranquil lakes of his native Pennsylvania, but his biggest catch was announced today and it’s neither trout nor bass. Morphy’s has been commissioned to auction the renowned Wayne Edens collection of antique and vintage fishing lures. A three-part auction series is planned, with a debut auction slated for December 10, 2024, and two more dates to follow in 2025. Each sale will feature 600 to 700 lots.
The largest, most comprehensive and historically important collection of its type ever to come to the public marketplace, the Edens assemblage contains many exquisitely rare examples, including an elusive, 100% original Heddon “factory board” frog lure, hand-carved circa 1898.
Fishing lure expert Scott Jedd, who is cataloging the auction’s contents, confirmed that the Heddon frog is one of eight such lures – or baits, as they are also called – that were personally crafted by James Heddon, founder of the Heddon Company, and subsequently exhibited on a display board at the factory.
“In the world of lures, those eight frogs are as rare and coveted as Faberge eggs,” Jedd remarked. “They represent the original American wood baits.”
In 1977, Clyde A Harbin Sr, an outdoorsman, author and fishing lure archivist known as “The Bassman™,” was invited by Heddon to visit the factory and declutter the board by removing any baits that were not Heddon productions. The eight frogs were present on the board both before and after the board was thinned out, and were photographed many times. Harbin would later write a book titled Heddon Historical Footprints in which he details where each of the eight frogs ended up. Today, it is believed that one of them is held in the Bass Pro Shops corporate collection, a few others are privately owned, and yet another may be in an aquarium’s collection in Oklahoma.
The frog lure in Wayne Edens’ collection was acquired from Dudley Murphy (1940-2022), co-founder of the National Fishing Lure Collectors Club. Murphy obtained the lure directly from the Heddon factory. In addition to its unbroken line of provenance, Edens’ lure has been definitively photo-matched to one of the original eight “board” examples. It will make its first-ever auction appearance on December 10 with a $30,000-$60,000 estimate, although Jedd suggests that “if the wind is blowing in the right direction, the frog could leap over that estimate and sell for $80,000, maybe even more.”
Dan Morphy commented: “Being entrusted with the Wayne Edens collection is a great honor for Morphy’s. Wayne’s collection is, in a word, astonishing, and contains many special-order and one-of-a-kind lures – some in their original picture boxes. Many have never before been offered at public auction. In addition to Heddons, there are rare productions by Immell Chippewa, Shakespeare, Haskell and scores of other top brands. We estimate the collection’s value to be around three million dollars.”
Morphy Auctions representatives will be set up at the November 7-9, 2024 Savannah Southern Classic Antique Tackle Show co-produced by the Carolina Antique Tackle Collectors and Florida Antique Tackle Collectors clubs. They look forward to discussing highlights of the Edens collection with show attendees.
Big winners: Captain America Comics #1, $172,221; Superman #1, $84,370; record-setting Kenner Jawa figure and ThunderCats Lion-O; excellent results on original comic art + Batman surprises
‘Captain America Comics’ #1, March 1941, CGC 5.5 Fine-, with origin and first appearance of Captain America, Bucky Barnes, and their nemesis The Red Skull. Action-packed World War II cover shows the Captain punching Hitler. Stories by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Cover art by Kirby; interior art by Simon, Kirby and Al Liederman. Key Golden Age comic book with historical significance. Entered with an open estimate, it sold for $172,221.
YORK, Pa. – The most patriotic superhero of them all, Captain America, was in stellar, fist-flying form at Hake’s July 30-31 pop culture memorabilia auction. A rare copy of Timely’s Captain America Comics #1, the March 1941 comic book introducing the indomitable World War II character, his sidekick Bucky Barnes and their Nazi nemesis The Red Skull, swept the field to claim top-lot honors at $172,221. The book’s action-packed cover shows the Captain, clad in his trademark red-white-and-blue outfit, punching Hitler squarely in the face. The image of the hero and his unabashed wartime bravado buoyed spirits both at home and on the battlefield, leading to an upsurge in Captain America Comics’ circulation that ultimately peaked at a staggering one million copies per month. CGC-graded 5.5 Fine- and offered with an open estimate, the rare book presented by Hake’s was airborne all the way to $172,221.
Both the #1 and #2 positions in the $2.9 million sale were claimed by Golden Age comics. Following Captain America in the winner’s circle was the character who started it all for comic-book superheroes, the one and only Man of Steel. Following his earth-stopping 1938 debut in Action Comics, Superman was given his own dedicated title. In summer of 1939, DC issued Superman #1. It contained the Superman origin story, as written and illustrated by co-creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and included stories that detailed Superman’s interplanetary origin and chronicled Clark Kent’s arrival at the Daily Star newspaper (precursor to the Daily Planet). One of a total of 77 Universal Grade copies that have been graded by CGC, Hake’s example, graded 0.5 Poor, sold within estimate for a strong $84,370.
Original comic book art, especially cover art, continues to trend upward. Bill Sienkiewicz’s original oil-painting cover art for Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #6, published by Marvel Comics in December 1985, led its category in the July sale. Sized 14 5/8 inches by 20 inches, the moody, atmospheric depiction of Moon Knight trudging through a snowstorm, his red eyes ablaze, was bid to $35,046 against an estimate of $10,000-$20,000.
Sam Kieth’s original pen-and-ink art for the cover of Marvel Comics Presents Ghost Rider #99, published in March 1992, depicted a profusion of activity, with Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) surrounded by D’Sprytes, the goblin-like minions of the Fear Lord D’Spayre. Measuring 11 1/8 inches by 17 1/8 inches, the artwork was assigned a $20,000-$35,000 estimate for its auction debut. It tested the waters quite impressively and, following a flurry of bids, peaked at $29,854.
Do Star Wars collectors ever get their fill of early figures and prototypes? Based on the pre-auction excitement and subsequent prices paid at Hake’s July sale, apparently not. If anything, seasoned collectors are even more committed as they face competition from a wave of new fans smitten with the lore of “a galaxy far, far away.”
A 1978 Kenner Star Wars action figure of Jawa, 12 Back-A and 2.25 inches tall with an original-issue vinyl cape, was on an unpunched blister card. AFA-graded 90NM/Mint, it was described by Hake’s president Alex Winter as being the “finest example ever offered by Hake’s, with only three AFA-graded examples having a higher grade.” Its superior original condition was well spotted by collectors, who chased it to $44,262, a world auction record for a US-release Jawa figure.
Not far behind Jawa was a 1982 Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett 48 Back-A card superimposed with a sample figure of Princess Leia Organa (Boussh Disguise). This intentional mash-up of card and figure was created purely to show how the figure would look on a blister card before an actual Princess Leia Organa card was available. Made in Taiwan, AFA-graded 75 EX+/NM, and the only known example of its type, the early and possibly unique fusion of card and figure was formerly in the Wayne Gillespie collection and came with a CIB LOA. It sold for $40,814 against an estimate of $20,000-$35,000.
Also noteworthy, a French Meccano 1978 Star Wars Luke Skywalker action figure, 3.75 inches tall on a 20 Back (French square cardback), was AFA-graded 80 Y-NM. “Not only was it the highest-graded but also the only graded example of this very rare figure,” Winter noted. It sold within estimate for $27,612.
A world auction record for any ThunderCats toy was set by an LJN/Rainbow Toys Europe 1987 ThunderWings Lion-O Deluxe action figure. Standing 7 inches tall and complete with its coveted ThunderWings vehicle/accessory, it was AFA-graded 80 NM, making it the single highest-graded example of its type. Collectors – quite possibly fans of the 1980s ThunderCats animated TV series – went after it with a vengeance. It ended its bidding run at $24,274, which Hake’s confirmed as being a world auction record for any ThunderCats toy.
Batman can always be counted on for auction fireworks, and the July 30-31 sale was no exception. Standing a mere 3.24 inches tall, a Marx (Hong Kong) Mechanical Batman with Walking Action came with its removable key and was embossed Copyright National Periodical Publications Inc 1966. A great bonus was its colorful original box showing Batman in action on all four vertical panels and bat logos on the top and bottom flaps. Extremely scarce, especially with its copyright-marked box, the toy confidently strode past its $2,000-$5,000 estimate to reach $15,340.
From a decade later, an 8-inch Batman figure in its original window box was from Mego’s 1976 “World’s Greatest Super Heroes” line. AFA-graded Uncirculated U85 NM+ (New Logo), this toy had previously resided in the UK, in the Mark Warner collection. It was estimated at a modest $400-$700, but Batman fanatics had the final say, catapulting it to $12,980.
The political memorabilia selection also excelled, with an important 1896 William McKinley and Garret Hobart campaign button claiming victory over the category. The 1.25-inch pin-back, which shows the candidates riding a tandem bicycle toward the White House, was emblazoned with the slogan “Gold Didn’t Get There July 7th / But Watch Us Take It There Nov. 3rd.” This was a reference to William Jennings Bryan’s famous “Cross of Gold” speech delivered at the 1896 Democratic National Convention. Against an estimate of $5,000-$10,000, the ultra-desirable button sold for $17,588. Also worthy of note was an exceptional Charles Evan Hughes and Charles W Fairbanks jugate button decorated with a furled American flag and oval portraits of the candidates, all against a sunny lime-green background. This rare and attractive 1.25-inch button documents the Republican duo’s unsuccessful run against Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R Marshall in the 1916 Presidential election. It sold within estimate for $13,759.
South Carolina-born outfielder “Shoeless” Joe Jackson rounded the bases to lead the sports offerings in a 1909-13 M101-2 supplement to the March 23, 1911 edition of The Sporting News. Printed on heavy paper, the newspaper insert shows Jackson in a typical outfielder’s pose, with his eye appearing to be fixed on a baseball headed his way. PSA-graded 1 Poor, this item was fresh to the market and sold within estimate for $12,565.

Other premier sale highlights include:
Lot #476, Arcangelo Tuccaro’s Trois Dialogues … Le Premier Dialogue traicte des exercices Gymnastiques … Le Second contient plusieurs beaux discours du saut appellee par les Anciens Cubistique … Au Troisiesme est fort amplement discouru des exercices que l’hommme peut faire, is estimated at $5,000-10,000.

It is illustrated with 86 woodcuts in text of various acrobatic feats and is bound in a modern tan morocco binding signed by Sangorski & Sutcliffe.
Lot #360, Primrose & West’s Big Minstrels. Freeze Brothers, is estimated at $5,000-10,000. This horizontal, one-sheet stone lithograph was published in Cincinnati & New York by The Strobridge Lith. Co. in 1897. It depicts the performers in their novelty tambourine spinning act with vignettes on either side of the central image showing the brothers with tambourines spinning on wire armatures attached to their knees and heads, and gripped by their teeth. This linen backed example measures 30-¾ x 40″ and is noted in Exemplars, p. 290-1.
Lot #155, Esther Louise Georgette’s (1891 – 1992) Princess White Deer. The Only Dancing American Indian Girl, is estimated at $5,000-10,000. This linen backed, full-color stone lithograph measures 37 × 27-¼” and was printed in Hamburg by Adolph Friedländer around 1913. It depicts a bust portrait of the famed Mohawk woman wearing a war bonnet, depicted on the surface of a buffalo hide held aloft by an eagle with American shield overhead and surrounded by popular totems representative of Native American culture. This example is noted in Exemplars, p. 225.
Lot #68, The Enchanted Scrap Book, is estimated at $3,000-6,000. It was published in London by E. Wallis around 1840. It features blind-stamped cloth with a matching gilt and letter decorated slipcase. It consists of tab-cut pages with hand-colored illustrations; as the performer blows on the pages and then flips through them, the images on the leaves change as many as ten times. The book includes printed directions inside its covers. According to Potter & Potter’s experts, this example in very good to near fine condition is a handsome example of this classic conjuring device.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Collectors of Old West, cowboy and Native American antiques will soon be making the annual pilgrimage to Cheyenne for the best buying-and-socializing event of the season: the Cheyenne Western Collectibles Show & Auction. Held at the Laramie County Event Center at Archer, the popular three-day gathering celebrates an era when America’s wide-open spaces were the domain of Native tribes, cattle ranchers, outlaw gangs and the now-legendary lawmen who chased them. This year’s extravaganza, with top-notch dealers presenting their wares on August 23-25, is highlighted by an August 24 onsite auction that also welcomes Internet live bidding through a choice of two platforms.
“This year’s auction includes an outstanding selection of Western relics and memorabilia, silver saddles and tack, Native American artifacts, prison-made horsehair bridles, and Railway Express items,” said Scott Tarbell, owner of New Frontier Auctions. “There are some truly exceptional pieces from three estates and lifetime collections, including that of Paul Hamer.”
In addition, the auction is enriched with high-quality antiques from a number of other consignors. The selection includes fine and decorative art, wonderful tribal textiles, knives and edged weapons; jewelry, vintage advertising and posters; cowboy hats, chaps and boots; and beaded leather clothing, moccasins and accessories. “Consignors gave us some of their most interesting pieces,” said Tarbell. “They know the Cheyenne auction attracts enthusiastic bidders, including those at the very top end of the collecting ladder, so it always pays to send us their best.”
Where you find cowboys, you’ll also find saddles, and the auction includes 11 excellent options. Leading the lineup is a Pat Gill fully silver-mounted saddle with a matching bridle and martingale. Profusely carved with a floral motif throughout, the saddle is heavily laden with engraved silver. It has silver-lined perimeters, a bound and rope-edged cantle and gold horsehead swells, horn cap and stirrups; and is topped off with detailed corner plates accented by gold stars. The martingale is covered in 21 artfully detailed and engraved square silver conchos, with a central gold star embellishing the chest plate. In near-mint condition, the lot is estimated at $10,000-$14,000.
Horsehair bridles crafted by prison inmates of a century ago are among the most sought after of all antique equine tack. The auction includes examples from Yuma (Ariz.) Territorial Prison and the Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge Valley. One example from Deer Lodge displays a seldom-seen palette of 11 colors, with the highlight color of pink against a white background. It is adorned with beautiful tassels, hitched glass rosettes, and split-reins that include American Flags, and is finished with an exceptional three-dimensional bit with cheekpieces designed as a woman’s profile. In mint condition, it is expected to sell in the vicinity of $5,500-$7,500.
Dozens of pairs of spurs will be auctioned, and many are from the most coveted brands, such as Tapia, J.O. Bass, Buerman, and G.S. Garcia. A pair of scarce Phillips & Gutierrez (active 1917-1918; Cheyenne, Wyo.) silver spurs have classically-engraved single inlaid heelbands, over-length silver-inlaid shanks, and huge multi-point rowels. They are unmarked but show the highly identifiable style of craftsmanship and step-down buttonplates unique to the collaboration of Frank Phillips and master engraver Filo Gutierrez, whose career endured for 50+ years. Estimate: $3,500-$5,500. Within the mix are prison-made spurs from the Colorado State Penitentiary at Canon City and the Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla. Both institutions were established prior to statehood, the former in 1872 and the latter in 1886.
It would be hard to overstate the visual appeal of a Cree Indian beaded pad saddle. The artistry is breathtaking, with boldly-colored cut-glass beads, beaded drops and tassels forming a floral motif on which no detail has been spared. The pre-sale estimate is $3,500-$5,500. Another sensational production is the 19th-century Sioux Indian cradle cover fully beaded to create an intricate geometric pattern in apple green and cobalt blue on white, with red-and-white hearts. The level of detail in the beadwork is beyond compare. Estimate: $3,000-$5,000
“Red” is the keyword in a brilliantly-hued Germantown weaving, so named because the commercially-spun wool yarn used by the Navajo to create such textiles between 1864 and 1910 came from Germantown (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania. Measuring 35- by 56 inches, its mesmerizing, maze-like pattern incorporates cobalt blue, green and orange against a vivid crimson field. It has a black-and-white sawtooth border and is finished with colored fringe. Estimate: $3,500-$5,500
Founded in 1918, Railway Express Agency (REA) was the UPS of its day, arranging transport and delivery of parcels, money and other goods by means of the existing railroad infrastructure and horse-drawn freight wagons. The auction includes several early REA items, including a seldom-seen Pony Express-style canvas and leather bag, $800-$1,200; a strongbox stenciled “U.S.” and “OR Depot” with great-looking hardware and its correct key, $600-$900; and a bright-red double-sided “Railway Express Agency” sign, $600-$900.
There could be an auction-day surprise when an extremely rare and historically important 1913 American Flag with 47 stars makes its appearance. The flag was flown at the State Building in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is significant because 1913 was the year New Mexico attained statehood. However, only three months after the flag’s introduction, Arizona joined the Union as the 48th state, thus necessitating a change to the American Flag’s design, from 47 to 48 stars. Measuring 75 inches by 60 inches, the auction flag has a broad estimate range of $2,000-$20,000.
Other stellar lots include a large Ken Payne Western bronze titled Borrowed Pony, incised with the artist’s name, edition number 6/25, and ‘88,’ and the year of copyright, $8,000-$10,000; and a showy pair of Hamley angora batwing chaps in a handsome pinto pattern, $3,500-$5,500.
New Frontier’s Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024 auction will start at 4pm MT/6pm ET. Preview in person at the Cheyenne Western Collectibles Show on Saturday, Aug. 24 from noon-4pm or online. For additional information, call Scott Tarbell at 913-406-8057 or email [email protected].
