IMPORTANT NOTICEWe are transitioning from print catalogs to online catalogs!Collecting the West since 1984We are changing our approach to printed catalogs! A vast majority of our bidders have demonstrated a preference and appreciation for the online version of our catalogs. Not only do our online catalogs offer you the most up-to-date descriptions and photos, you also have the ability to see current and opening bid status, as well as register and place bids right away! While the Holabird print catalogs have been an important reference publication in the past, they are unfortunately out of date the moment they are printed. By modernizing our business model and adapting to the digital era we not only have the opportunity to reduce unnecessary paper waste, we are also able to bring you the most current and relevant catalogs in an easy to use online format.For our active bidders who do not use online resources have no fear; we will not be eliminating the print catalogs altogether. Our goal is to continue producing a reduced print catalog featuring highlighted items from each auction. Additional lots will still be available for viewing online as usual. If you are a bidder who needs and prefers a printed catalog in order to view lots and bid, please reach out to us and let us know. We will do our best to accommodate all of our clients!

All bonafide resale dealers with a current valid resale license should submit their license in advance to HWAC.5. SHIPPING & HANDLING: The customer is responsible for all shipping charges.

If additional shipping and handling costs are required, the buyer will be re-invoiced for the balance due. Items are not shipped until the invoice is completely paid. Many buyers purchase a number of lots. Every effort will be made to include all lots in a single shipping charge calculated to cover the weight and size of the package(s).

All items shipped Federal Express or USPS will be insured for the full value determined at auction by HWAC, which is included in our buyer’s premium.

We will open lots with more than one bid at the current high absentee bid or 50% of the low estimate at the auctioneer’s discretion. Please be sure to bid on the correct lots during the live auction. Our auction progress is at a rate of between 60 and 150 lots per hour. An item is not sold until the next lot is announced. (We are not esponsible for Internet bids that arrive late.) The auctioneer will identify the successful bidder by number and announce the winning bid amount. If you are not sure whether you won the lot or not, it is your responsibility to ask for clarification immediately, prior to the start of the next auction lot. Auctioneer reserves the right to reopen the lot in the case of an immediate dispute at the actual time of the sale. 7. TELEPHONE BIDDING: Telephone bidding MUST be scheduled prior to this auction. If you do not schedule in advance, and choose instead to call on the day of the auction to request a line for bidding, you may find that we are unable to accommodate your request.

Bids made in amounts that do not conform to the bid increment table under Item #8 will be automatically rounded up or down by the computer, or rounded to the nearest proper bid increment at the discretion of the auctioneer.

Live bidding will open when the auction starts. Internet bidding is offered as a convenience for those who cannot attend the live sale.

The technology for this process is always changing, and the operation of it and the corresponding Internet connectivity issues are far beyond our control. Some folks have attempted to use the live Internet bidding process as their primary method of bidding, and have been quite successful. Others have failed completely. Depending upon your computer, server, host, and other factors, Internet signals may be delayed, such that bids may not be received in time. We cannot be held responsible for these delays, or for the lack of placed bids in a timely manner, or any other factors leading to unaccepted bids that are far beyond our control. Bidders should always have a backup plan for lots they highly desire. Live participation is best, followed by phone participation. We will not reopen lots for missed bids.12. RESERVES: Most of the lots in this auction are unreserved. Precious metals may be reserved at or near or slightly below spot, t the auctioneer's discretion. 13. BIDDING INCREMENTS: All bids must be submitted in U.S. dollars and in whole dollar amounts only in the appropriate increments as outlined below. If you choose to submit bids in an increment not listed below, your bid will be rounded to the nearest increment and you will be expected to pay the amount to which the bid was rounded should your bid be the winning bid. If you have any questions about an appropriate bid amount, please call us.TERMS AND CONDITIONSThis is a Live Auction conducted by Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC (HWAC).

Welcome to the October Sale!Welcome to the October Sale!Stuart “Scotty” Mackenzie CollectionStuart (Scotty to his immediate family and circle of Montana friends) was an inveterate collector and dealer. Aside from his regular job as a lawyer in a firm of two with his old school buddy, he did damn near everything else. If the kids wanted a horse, there was one. Then four. Then more. After Shirley spotted one of the kids swinging in the air, hanging onto the reins for dear life, that was it for the horses.Then there was the ranch and cattle. Too much cow poop on the boots in the office that also came home into the house, and that was it for the ranch.Stuart scoured the backroads of northern Montana looking for documents, archives, company files, libraries, correspondence – most anything historical except bottles and tokens. He got lucky - That bug never bit him.He was a regular at university library book sales, often buying the “whole thing.” He’d trade for things he wanted, trade for stuff he didn’t want, but the museum or society really wanted it badly, so off it went. He was a major supporter of the local Chinook Historical Society (Blaine County Historical Society), and a major contributor and concept man for the Chinook Wildlife Museum on Main Street today. His grandfather was a Montana Senator, and a wing of the university in Havre is named after him. The family were die-hard UMontana fans and supporters. A family house in Whitefish was a regular vacationing spot, not far from Glacier National Park. In all the years of knowing Stuart (40 or so), I never got the opportunity to meet his wife Shirley or his kids. It seems the few shows I did not attend on some years (Memphis, in particular), the family would be there, but I wasn’t. When he called me a few days before his passing, I heard the emergency of the hour in his voice. I thought I’d talk to him in a few days, but it was too late. But I finally got to meet Shirley, and she’s a “ten” in every way.But at least he had told me over the years what he had, where it was, and so forth, so that when I first went to Chinook, it was somewhat familiar to me. I knew what to look for and where.We brought back two 28-foot trucks and a large, tall van full of goods, probably 18-19 tons of collectible material. A local auction was held for some of the larger and fragile material in his store, which had been closed for ten years. We also left behind another 28-foot truck worth of goods, but we had sorted thru most.Even though Chinook is a prairie town, a stop on the Burlington Northern 20 miles from Havre (HAV’ – er), the midpoint between Seattle and Minneapolis, Stuart had a strong love of mining stuff. He scored big in Butte, in Virginia City, in Pony, Helena and many other towns. He put together massive correspondence collections which will be offered at a future date. We put together a massive Montana town document collection of over 500 different locations – nearly 600! There are document archives from many of Montana’s most famous towns that are offered in this sale and upcoming sales. This is a very rare opportunity to garner such collections. We have not seen anything like this since about 1992 when we sold off a major Nevada archive in San Francisco.Another major holding are his fruit labels and other labels, which date from the 1870s right through about 1950 or so. These come from all over America, and some from Europe. He bought large accumulations from dealers who bought out closed printer businesses. He also scored a huge deal on Victorian wall art, mostly pretty ladies in attire of the times, the kind put up in saloons, and well used today in interior decorating. He found large advertising groups sure to make hundreds of collectors happy.Then there are post cards, postal history, bird prints, and a fantastic Montana library – hundreds of boxes, which we will supplement with another Montana library at a later date.
8Shirley Bovis Private Tombstone Cowboy MuseumFor decades, Shirley was a main-stay in Tombstone, an avid collector, part-time dealer and nice person. She bought long time Tombstone dealer Joe Soebbing’s adobe in the middle of town, and quickly turned part of it into a museum. She also owned the Tombstone Bead Company, an off-shoot of the Bovis Bead Company as America’s only dealer in specialty beads from Lyon, France, now long out of production. We hope to be offering these beads at a later date, as they have sat “idle” for more than 40 years.Shirley collected gambling items, saloon, cowboy, native American – pretty much everything that is and was Tombstone. This collection will also come out a bit at a time.Western Coin Dealers and CollectorsWe continue to get in great collections of tokens, medals and bullion coins from a wide variety of western coin dealers and collectors. Our market has been very hot, and it shows.Ken Prag Post Cards and StocksWe picked up another large group of cards and stocks from ken, and by publication time may not have had time to process much, but its coming! Railroad Passes and StocksWe received consignments from three important railroad pass and stock collections, all in this sale. Its till tough for us to price them, so we try to keep the start price cheap and you guys figure out the rest!Keep the Collections Coming!Keep the Collections Coming!We have three of the best western collections of their kind coming up in future months.

Est. $300-500 HWAC#141175Lot# 1020 Arizona Unidentified Major Supply Wagon, Possibly Arizona, c late 1870s Older Cabinet card, yellow mount typical of the late 1870s. This photographer pair is not listed in Mautz’s new edition of his Biographies of western photographers. It is also not listed in Rowe’s Arizona Stereographs, 1865-1930. There is a modern pencil “interpretation” on the reverse, which I believe is wholly made up, claiming it is a military supply wagon at an Arizona Fort. I doubt both, but... There is no indication this is a “fort.” There are no protective walls, devices or other. There are no organized “barracks” buildings visibly (might be out of view). The immense wagon train has two stagecoaches leading the way and a train of at least 18 Conestoga wagons, all with drivers in place. There are no uniforms visible. I suggest this is a major supply train to one of possibly Arizona’s largest mines. The two wagons in the front would hold the “important” people. While there are no names on the sides visible on the stages, these are the same style as military wagons, as seen in other original AZ photos of the period we’ve sold recently from another collection. This photo is from the Shirley Bovis Private Tombstone Cowboy Collection. Both photographers are listed in Mautz in California (Burkhart in SF, 1876-87, and Soule in San Jose 1880-1). Is the photo AZ or CA? I’ll bet AZ, unless it is a supply train headed across the San Bernardino desert to a place such as Cerro Gordo, but I doubt it. –(FH). PS> If you do not have any of the books written by Mautz or Rowe, GO GET THEM. Rowe’s books on AZ are fabulous technical historical records.

Now, for all you skeptics out there who ask how someone can sign an autograph a month before. That’s taken care of by a small typed piece of paper “This picture was autographed before Miss Velez pased (passed) away.” But that’s not all.

Selig went out of business in 1917 and Mix was signed by Fox, which starred him in the westerns that established him as the premier cowboy star.

Hart Handwritten Letter This is a rare handwritten letter from the movies’ first cowboy star William S. Hart (1864-1946). The letter, written on Hart’s Horseshoe Ranch letterhead stationery, is barely readable, possibly because it was written in Hart’s later years. Hart started as a New York stage actor performing Shakespeare, but came to Hollywood. During his years in Hollywood, he befriended Old West lawman Wyatt Earp, serving as a pallbearer, along with fellow western star Tom Mix, when Earp died in 1929. Hart willed his ranch to the city of Los Angeles, and it was turned into a park, with house tours, picnic grounds and a horse retirement facility. He retired from acting in 1925 after a scandal surfaced involving his ex-wife. This is a rare piece from a pioneer in the history of movies. Please see photos for more detail and condition.

Although she had much notoriety when she was a star at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Brothers in the 1940’s, the publication of her daughter Christina’s book “Mommie Dearest” in 1978, followed by the 1981 film starring Faye Dunaway pretty much tarnished her legacy.

This Shreve & Co. Silver Trophy bears the name of a famous American athlete, writer, explorer, journalist and war correspondent, Lewis Ransome Freeman. (1878-1960). Freeman moved to Pasadena with his family as a boy and attended Stanford University, where he earned letters in football, baseball, track, and tennis. He also coached football there before graduating in 1898. After college, Freeman continued in his athletic pursuits in Pasadena for another 10-12 years, but spent most of his days travelling. His trips took him all over the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. It was during this 10-12-year time period when Freeman won the 1903 Ojai Tennis Tournament in both men’s singles and doubles, also finishing as doubles runner-up in 1908. This Silver Trophy Cup was presented to Freeman for that 1903 win. Lewis Freeman later went on to publish over 20 books and innumerable articles throughout his life, chronicling his world travel and his work with the U.S. Military during WWI as a war correspondent, as well as his later work, on more than one expedition, as a photographer for the U.S. Geological Survey.

James McClatchy, an Irish immigrant who arrived in New York in 1841 at 16, found work at the New York Tribune and later heeded his boss Horace Greeley’s legendary advice: “Go West, young man.” McClatchy moved to California during the first year of the Gold Rush, in 1849, as a correspondent for the Tribune but soon went to work for two competing Sacramento papers, the Placer Times and the Transcript. By then, so many newspapers had come and gone in Sacramento’s early days that the city was known as “the graveyard of newspapers.” In 1857, McClatchy helped start a six-day-a-week paper called The Daily Bee. It was four pages and cost 25 cents for a week’s subscription. Its office was at 3rd and J streets. McClatchy had other interests and served a two-year stint in the 1860s as Sacramento County sheriff. But in 1866 he cemented his relationship with the newspaper. For $1,800, he bought a one-third stake in the paper. Est. $100-200 HWAC# 138475
