High Noon’s 24rd Annual Auction of cowboy, Indian, Vaquero, Historical, Hollywood and important items of the West. Includes and array of both historicl and sterling silver mounted Edward H Bohlin, Keyston and Visalia parade saddles, plus an historic 19th century Walker & Wegener (San Francisco) saddle. This year Hollywood cowboys sparkle the offering with James Arness’ Gunsmoke TV series six-shooter, Tom Mix’s personal chaps and John Wayne’s riding saddle from his last and arguably best film, The Shootist, co-starring Lauren Bacall.
