| If you have been around
as long as I have, you will remember the tales of the Long Ranger,
Gene Autry, Tex Ritter, Red Rider and of course the unforgettable
Roy Roger and Dale Evans. These modern day heroes who fought
the bad gays, and always won do matter what the odds were. This
was the romantic wild west of our youth. Playing Cowboys and Indians
was always fun on the long summer days, but today the era has long
past, it would be very hard to find the white hat heroes of the
past.
From the past those heroes produce a
large array of collectible items. From badges to cap guns, bb
guns, special rings, costumes, hats, lunch pales and hundreds of
other promotion pieces that were mostly less than a dollar and can
be worth several hundred dollars
But in reality the wild west was a wild west,
great hardships were encountered as the pioneers cross the western
plains heading for a new life as far as California and Oregon. Old
wild west art and antiques of quality such as furniture, gold
and silver objects, gold quartz jewelry, gambling tools, firearms
are highly sought after.
Other collectible were tools, barbershop
implements, signs and posters. Also "cowboy" items,
included revolvers, pistols, maps, boots, and chaps, and horse
gear, such as bits, saddles, and spurs. What ever wild west
items you are collecting you will find great information in the
books available at Delve Bookstore.
