Ladies Sombrero

Circa: 1900-1940

This great Sombrero has a wonderful pattern of leaves and horseshoes, and has the initial CA embroidered on each side in a darker brown. The felt shows some wear, but nothing significant. A great piece for display, or for wearing! 15.5" wide by 9" high

Price: $ 3,000.00

Child's Hamley Hat

Circa: 1920

Rare child's Nutria hat sold by the famous Hamley Saddlery, Pendleton, Oregon. In really nice condition, with the Hamley & Co. cartouche in the sweatband, and the Stetson mark on the other side. Comes with an early prison-made black and white horsehair hatband. Shown is a reddish stain on the gros grain from goodness knows what - fruit juice?

Early California Hat

Circa: 1890

Rare early California hat made by Konrad Meussdorffer, San Francisco. In the open-crown Vaquero style, with bound brim and matching gros-grain ribbon, the fawn-colored hat has the original leather sweat-band with gilt stamping reading "K. Meussdorffer & Son, No. 8 Kearny St., San Francisco, Cal". A reference is made to Konrad in the Encyclopedia of San Francisco, stating that he immigrated in 1865 from Germany and was in the business of importing and making hats. His son went on to become a prominent San Francisco architect, and his granddaughter became a noted artist. Given its age, it's in excellent shape. There are some dimples in the crown, quite possibly from someone trying to give it a more "up to date" look. Very small - approx. 6 1/2". This is a great find.

Price: $1,800.00

Five Star Spotted Cuffs

Circa: 1900

Spotted cowboy wrist cuffs with a large star, surrounded by four smaller stars made of small brass spots. Each star has more spots in its interior. These show very little wear and are unmarked. The cuffs are in as-new condition. Cayuse has had similarly made pairs before - this may have been a style that a maker sold to various companies without marking their maker identification on them. 7" long and 4.5" across wide area.

The Denver Stetson

Whether you're a Stetson Hat aficionado or not, this particular model called "The Denver" is a beauty. Wonderful fawn coloring, with a grosgrain ribbon and bound, pencil-rolled brim. Smaller size (6 7/8" or a little bigger) but with a big crown, 6" at it's highest point and wide brim, 16" across. A great piece in excellent condition.

Bismarck Diamond Jubilee Hat

Circa: 1936

Great hat from Bismarck, North Dakota, 1936. The hat celebrates the city's Diamond Jubilee with drawings and autographs. Some of the signatures are faint due to the fact that the hat was worn. Others are legible. One signature reads "William M. Baska, Decorator" - presumably the one who drew the bronc rider and the Diamond Jubilee scene on the hat. Baska was an illustrator whose work appears in at least one book on the big game of North Dakota. The hat itself is a rarity: an "Official Tim McCoy (Columbia Star) Vigilante Hat" by A. Rosset Co. - presumably marketed by Columbia Studios. Very small size (6 5/8), and 3" brim.

Price: $475.00

Early Sioux Cowgirl Gauntlets

Circa: 1885-1895

Amazing work and condition. Fully beaded around the entire cuff - the inside wrists are a lighter blue background with morning star crosses, and the outer wrists are deeper blue, with geometric main elements, and morning stars scattered around them. Floral beadwork on the hands adds a nice touch. Fringe runs down the sides, as well as all the way around each wrist. Red silk edging is at the top. They are unlined; interestingly, one cuff has green ochre coloring the inside of the leather. The brass beads are in great condition and consist of the typical faceted variety, as well as a round brass bead with spiral grooves. Small size indicates these were surely for a woman.

George Lawrence Cuffs

Circa: 1900-1910

Lawrence partnered with Samuel Sherlock in his Portland, Oregon shop in 1874. Lawrence changed the store name to George C. Lawrence in 1893. This company continued into the 1980's with the help of Bill Lawrence.
