RICHARD E. BISHOP (1887-1975)Prairie Wings, 1945
signed and dated "Richard E Bishop '45 ©" lower left
oil on canvas, 30 by 25 in.
signed, titled, and dated on back
An edition of "Prairie Wings" by Edgar M. Queeny, published by Ducks Unlimited in 1946 accompanies the lot.
In 1946, Edgar Queeny published "Prairie Wings" through Ducks Unlimited. It is now one of the most important books on waterfowl ever written. He studied the landing patterns of birds over Wingmead, his 14,000 acre property in Arkansas, which had three named green tree reservoirs: Wingmead, Paddlefoot, and Greenwood. Queeny was an active patron of Bishop's and partnered with the artist for the many illustrations throughout the book, including the color frontispiece.
Queeny wrote, “Dick’s paintings and etchings of wildfowl are outstanding because he is not only a superb artist but a topnotch engineer! As a result of his engineering training and his understanding of aerodynamics, mechanics of flight and the anatomy of birds came as second nature to him…the results are portraits of birds as they really fly!”
Bishop’s original drawings and Queeny’s photographs from "Prairie Wings" were donated by Thomas K. Figge to the John L. Wehle Gallery of Sporting Art at the Genesee Country Village & Museum in 1986, where they remain in the permanent collection.
This famous frontispiece for "Prairie Wings" comes from the collection of Joseph N. Pew Jr., the Sun Oil heir, philanthropist, and avid sportsman. He hunted and fished in Nova Scotia, started the Pew Charitable Trusts, and likely encountered Edgar M. Queeny in New York’s Links Club, where both were members.

IMPORTANT PINTAIL DRAKEAndrew A.
IMPORTANT PINTAIL DRAKEAndrew A. Tull (1840-1915)
Philadelphia, PA, c. 1856
17 1/2 in. long
An exceptional Delaware River pintail drake, this example is a regional archetype quite distinct in form from other celebrated and later Delaware River pintail peers. This decoy is debuting in the modern decoy market after having resided in the Alberta Wingate family of Philadelphia for generations. Dating back to 1856 or prior, it is one of the earliest Philadelphia decoys known to exist.
The maker of this decoy has been inaccurately identified as John Blair by Henry Fleckenstein Jr. in his "New Jersey Decoys" book and by Harrison Huster and Doug Knight in "Floating Sculpture."
However, early decoy historians Bob White and Hal Sorenson were on the right trail when they discussed a closely related A Tull pintail in the 1977 "Decoy Collector's Guide," captioning, “This beautiful pintail drake from the lower Delaware River has “1856” stamped in the weight. It would well be a fore-runner to the “Blair” style.” Fellow Delaware River decoy legend Kenneth Gosner in 1985 gravitated towards White and Sorenson’s assessment when discussing an “A Tull” branded pintail in his Delaware River decoy treatise, writing, “obviously related to the Blair tradition and possibly predating the classic style.” Research by noted Delaware River decoy collector Jeff Martinides follows White, Sorenson, and Gosner’s beliefs as he points out that John Blair does not appear to land on the shores of America until 1865 — almost a decade after an “A Tull 1856” decoy was stamped.
In 2014 Russ Allen lifted the veil on the Tull mystery when he researched a pattern-making family from the Kensington section of Philadelphia. Andrew J. Tull was the son of John P. Tull. The 1860 U.S. Federal Census Report lists Andrew as following in his father’s footsteps as a pattern designer. Tull’s occupation as a pattern maker explains the beautiful lines and exacting construction of this decoy.
Though research on Andrew Tull is still ongoing, we know that on January 18th, 1863, Andrew married Emma Mathews, also of Philadelphia. Shortly thereafter, on April 1, 1864, at the age of twenty-two, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served aboard the vessel "Chicopee" as a firefighter.
In reviewing this Tull pintail lot, its sleek, hollow body draws to a long and sharply pointed tail which resolves with crisp chines on both the top and sides. The raised neck seat secures a slightly forward-reaching head with refined bill and eye groove carving. The underside is fitted with two small lead weights, one with the region's classic chamfers. The body is finished with exceptional and dynamic feather painting with a tight craquelure patina. The lively and well-executed feather painting technique stands out in a city known for its fine plumage representations. The paint on this bird is by far the best found on any Tull.
L-shaped cut nails revealed in this decoy circa 1860 are rare, and typically only found in the finest and earliest decoys, including the dove-tailed decoys and Osgood geese.
Exceptional early gunning paint with even wear and a minor chip under the bill tip.

The book is a renowned collaboration between Linderman and Russell who were good friends. Frank Bird Linderman was a Montana writer, politician, Native American ally and ethnographer. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he went West as a young man and became enamored of life on the Montana frontier.

He wrote about their cultures and worked to help them survive pressure from European Americans. For instance, he supported establishment of the Rocky Boy Indian reservation in Montana for landless Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Cree, and continued as an advocate for Native Americans to his death. Charles Marion Russell, also known as C. M. Russell, Charlie Russell, and "Kid" Russell, was an American artist of the American Old West, known as "the cowboy artist", a prolific artist who created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Native Americans, and landscapes set in the western United States and in Alberta, Canada, in addition to bronze sculptures.

The artist signature is shown in the bottom right hand corner of the photograph. T. J. (Tomar Jacob) Hileman (1882–1945) was an American photographer born in Manor Township, Armstrong County Pennsylvania, who is renowned for his photos of Glacier Park in Montana, and Blackfoot people. After working a while in Chicago and graduating from Effingham School of Photography there, he moved to Colorado and began to take photographs. In 1911, Hileman moved to Kalispell, Montana to open his own portrait studio. He and Alice Georgeson were the first couple to marry in Glacier National Park in 1913. Appointed the official photographer for the Great Northern Railway in 1924, Hileman took photos of Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, moving bulky camera equipment by packhorse, even at times perching on a narrow ledge to get just the right image on film. He also photographed the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton, Alberta, which was built by the railway. In 1926, Hileman opened photo-finishing labs in both Glacier Park Lodge and Many Glacier Hotel, which were convenient for tourists who could drop off their film in the evenings and pick up their prints the next morning. The condition of this this framed hand painted shows no obvious signs of damage to the photograph and shows some wear to the frame due to age. The measurements of this framed photograph is 14 1/4" x 20 1/2" and the visible photograph measures 12 3/4" x 19".

BOSTON CUSTER'S COLT CARRIED AT
BOSTON CUSTER'S COLT CARRIED AT LITTLE BIGHORNThis is quite possibly one of the most important Battle of the Little Bighorn firearms ever offered for public sale, a Colt U.S. Cavalry issue Single Action Army revolver owned personally by Boston Custer, youngest brother to George Armstrong Custer, and later owned by Chief Buffalo Hump of the Sans Arc Sioux with complete ownership history and documentation. Under General Terry’s Special-Order Number 117 on June 8, 1874, Colonel Custer acted to prepare his troops for the extended 1874 Black Hills Expedition, obtaining suitable arms for certain non-regular army personnel. Shipment information to Custer at Fort Lincoln, as obtained from jobbers used by the Colt Company, Schuler, Hartley & Graham of New York an H&D Folson, also of New York noted the shipment of six nickel plated revolvers shipped on July 29, 1874 from H&D Folson: Serial numbers 7486, 9977, 12057, 12443, 12937; and 13418 and a shipment from Schuyler, Hartley & Graham included: Serial numbers 10960, 11258, 11722, 11843, 13221, and this revolver, 12364. The nickel revolvers are all documented to 7th Cavalry Indian scouts (see Table 7, beginning at page 148 of the book, Documenting the Weapons Used at the Little Bighorn). The blue finished revolvers are documented, also on Table 7 starting at page 148 identifying serial number 11722 issued to Dr. Porter, 11843 to Dr. Lord, 10960 went to Moses Milner a civilian scout and 12364, the firearm in this lot, issued to Boston Custer who was acting as a packer in the pack train. It is noted by documented testimony from Oglala Sioux Horned Horse that on June 25, 1876 at the Battle of the Little Bighorn Horned Horse and Buffalo Hump went together crossing the Greasy Grass River at the ford. They rode to a high point to watch the battle, as Horned Horse was an old man tired of battle. They saw a lone soldier wearing buckskin clothing crossing in front of them to the north, riding a mule that was carrying some bags. Buffalo Hump told Horned Horse he wanted the mule and Horned Horse replied, “Han napiyuza sonsonla (Yes! Capture Mule)”. It should be noted for confirming this story that Captain Frederick W. Benteen, the Company H Commander of the 7th Cavalry gave testimony about Boston Custer, “He was with the pack train, the morning of the 25th, but when Boston overheard trumpeter John Martin’s message from George Custer to me to “…come on and be quick and bring packs,” Boston mounted one of the mules carrying ammunition and rode north.” Also noted 1st Lieutenant Edward S. Godfrey Commander of Company K said this about the Custer brothers, “The Custers wore buckskin suits…” Later Horned Horse and Buffalo Hump were at the spotted of the buckskin wearing man with mule, both found dead. Buffalo Hump took the boots and the revolver from the buckskin wearing young soldier (is clothes being taken by another). As per the body location as noted by 1st Sergeant John M. Ryan, Company M of the 7th Cavalry and Captain Benteen were both on burial crew and stated, “On the battlefield 200 feet down the hill from Last Stand Hill were General George Custer and his brother Tom Custer were killed, lay the bodies of their brother Boston and 18-year-old nephew Harry Armstrong “Autie” Reed. Boston was stripped expect for his stockings.” After the Little Bighorn, Buffalo Hump and Horned Horse rode with Crazy Horse at the Battle of Wolf Mountain against General Miles and the 5th Cavalry. Horned Horse surrendered with Crazy Horse on May 5, 1877 at Fort Robinson to 1st Lieutenant William P. Clark and Horned Horse acted as Crazy Horses interpreter. When Crazy Horse was killed on September 5, 1877, both Buffalo Hump and Horned Horse were present and heard Crazy Horse say on his deathbed, “I have always wanted to go to the land of the Grandmother (Canada). I shall be dead in a few minutes and will then go to the Grandmother’s country. I want you to all follow me”. In spring 1878, Buffalo Hump and some 240 lodges of the Crazy Horse band made their way into Canada including Little Hawk, the Black Elks, Low Dog and Black Fox heading for Sitting Bull’s camp. After arriving at Sitting Bull’s camp, some of their horses were stolen by a local tribe. Nicholas Black Elk and his uncle Running Horse were present on the day of the Buffalo Hump incident and their story was documented, “I was only 15… Our camp had lost some horses during the night. One of the horses belonged to Chief Buffalo Hump. Sitting Bull sent for the Grandmother police, as he was told to do by “Paddy” (Supt. James Morrow Walsh from the North West Mounted Police NWMP). Paddy sent “Big Bull” (Assistant Commissioner Acheson G. Irvine of the NWMP) and two policemen to settle the matter. As Big Bull (Irvine) rode int the camp, Buffalo Hump rant up to him to tell him about his stolen horse.. carrying his revolver in one hand and a knife in the other. Big Bull (Irvine) grabbed the revolver out of Buffalo Hump’s hand… Sitting Bull walked up behind… and said “Austan” (cease, finish, stop) Big Bull (Irvine) found the horses and returned them to Buffalo Bull, but he did not return the revolver. Day later Buffalo Hump asked Big Bull (Irvine) if he could have his gun back, but Big Bull (Irvine) said he had given it to the Commissioner of the NWMP, James Furguharson MacLeod as “Evidence”” Buffalo Hump and his Sans Arc band left Canada and surrendered at Fort Keogh and was transferred in August 1881 to the Spotted Tail Agency in Nebraska. Commissioner MacLeod served from July 22, 1876, to October 31, 1880, and oversaw the moving of police headquarters to Fort MacLeod being accredited with establishing peaceful policies for the NWMP in dealings with First Nations people. It is almost certain that Commissioner MacLeod held the Buffalo Hump Colt at this location. The gun stayed in the NWMP, later changing their name to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP, possession from 1878 until around 1922. In around 1920 William Northcote Taylor joined the RCMP, son of famed Indian Agent in the Northwest Territories William Richard Taylor the agent with whom Dr. Claude Lewis and his brother, Sinclair Lewis made a trip by canoe to make treaty payments to Northwest First Nations tribes memorialized in the book “Treaty Trip” in 1924. As per the testimony of William N. Taylors daughter, Karen Taylor in the accompanied signed letter, her father won the Colt Revolver serial number 12364 in a poker game while stationed at Fort MacLeod in Alberta, Canada in 1922. The gun then stayed in the Taylor family from 1922 until 1990. William N. Taylor dutifully registered the gun, per Canadian Law until his death in 1979 when ownership fell to his daughter Karen Taylor (an accompanying original Canadian Firearm Registration Certificate from 1945 filled out by William N. Taylor is with the lot). Karen Taylor sold the gun to a Canadian arms collector Vernon Vossler in 1990. It was published in the 1991, “Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia Volume 2” by Keith Cochran on page 343 as S/N “12,364 7 ½ .45, Cavalry Model, this revolver was probably taken from a Sioux warrior in Canada after the battle of the Little Bighorn by an Indian Agent and Judge and then passed to his sone who was a Mountie or member of the Northwest Mounted Police. (See page 344).” The gun was in the Vossler estate from 1990 until 2008 when It was sold again in his estate sale by Bud Haynes Auction of Red Deer, Alberta (an original printout of the sale bill noting the gun, then further confirmed by Hayes, is included). At the sale the gun was purchased by Barry Kolbert, a collector from Red Lodge, Montana, only 125 miles away from the Little Bighorn. Kolbert then traded the gun to Wallace W. Francis who then traded the gun (with accompanying signed letter) to the current owner J. Michael Peters in 2016 (trading away a Colt Baby Burgess SN 6209 with letter, Colt SAA SN 962, Colt SAA SN 18318 and an additional $1,000 for this Colt SN 12364). In addition to the testimony and ownership documentation the firearm was examined by Wendell Grangaard of the Guns of History and found to be a correct matching serial number U.S. Cavalry issue Colt Single Action Army included on the Schuler, Hartley & Graham list. The gun has the legible cartouche of O.W. Ainsworth and the correct “A” inspector mark of Ainsworth, as well as the usual filings of the muzzle often used as a mark of Indian ownership by the Sioux. Most importantly the gun was found to be marked on the butte of the frame and grips by Chief Buffalo Hump telling the story of the gun in togia language. Marked on the bottom, “kill two non-soldiers – Greasy Grass – Buffalo Hump rode with Horned Horse – departed travel long rode Grandmother Land.” This further confirms the above documentation. Provenance: From General Terry’s Special-Order Number 117 issued to Boston Custer from a shipment from Schuyler, Hartley & Graham. Taken by Boston Custer to the Battle of the Little Bighorn where he was killed. Taken by Buffalo Hump and Horned Horse and eventually taken into Canada to Sitting Bull’s Camp in spring 1878. Seized by Canadian North West Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Acheson G. Irvin as “evidence” and transferred to NWMP Commissioner, James Furguharson MacLeod. Won in a poker game at Fort MacLeod by RCMP William Northcote Taylor in 1922. Kept in the Taylor family from 1922-1990. Sold to Vernon Vossler in 1990. Vossler collection from 1990-2008. Sold in Bud Haynes Auction in August, 23, 2008, to Barry Kolbert of Red Lodge, Montana. Sold / Traded to Wallace W, Francis. Kolbert, Francis 2008-2016. Traded to J. Michael Peters 2016-present.

This historic piece includes a completely ownership history from its shipment to Custer’s men, capture by the Indians at Little Bighorn, capture by the NWMP in 1878, to the Canadian ownership in 1922 to present day. The ownership history has been published in the included book. Further the gun includes a historic analysis and documented testimony from Guns of History’s Wendell Grangaard as well as further documentation and signed letters. Possibly one of, if not the most well researched and recorded Battle of the Little Bighorn firearm ever brought to public sale. Antique Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army with correct U.S. stamping, “PAT. SEPT. 19, 1871, PAT. JULY, 2, 1872” on the side; matching 12364 serial number on the bottom of the butte frame, frame, trigger guard and 2364 on the cylinder. Inspection “A” mark on trigger guard, “A” and “P” on bottom of barrel, “P” and “A” on cylinder and “609” on swing out loading door. Top of the gun is marked in a single line, “COLT’S PT. F. A. MFG.

HENRI DE GROOT "WHO SAYS I NEED A
HENRI DE GROOT "WHO SAYS I NEED A BILL OF SALE?"Featured in this lot is a graphite and oil artwork called "Who says I need a Bill of Sale?," from Canadian artist Henri de Groot. The painting features a wonderfully and professionally crafted graphite and oil construction that depicts a cartoonish cowboy with a moustache, longer hair and a grey hat with a blue bandana. The artwork is signed by the artist in the bottom right hand corner. Henri de Groot produces highly refined Portraits of the West out of his home studio west of Edmonton, Alberta. He works in graphite and oil to produce beautifully detailed images of people and horses that often convey his sense of humor and reveal a glimpse of a real life cowboy or rancher. De Groot produces his yearly output evenly between color (oil) and black and white (pencil). Oil lends itself well for landscape scenes to capture the subtle shades and light of nature, while pencil drawings give the portraits depth and old time western feel. Completely self-taught, the artist feels the most important elements of any art work are light and composition, and no amount of technique will overcome the lack of those basic elements. De Groot’s works are exclusively figurative and his unique ability to capture the character and likeness of his subjects, plus the incredible crisp style has won him numerous accolades. Looking back on more than a decade as one of Canada’s premier portrait artists, de Groot said he is extremely grateful the vocation came naturally to him. The overall condition of this framed graphite and oil artwork is good with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this framed artwork are 24 1/8"L x 20 1/8"W, and the visible artwork measures 10"L x 8 7/8"W.*

FOSSILIZED AMMOLITE AMMONITE W/
FOSSILIZED AMMOLITE AMMONITE W/ MOSASAUR BITEMARKNorth America, Canada, Alberta, Bearpaw formation, late Cretaceous, ca. 71 million years ago. This is a breathtaking ammonite of the Placenticerus costatum genus, with an iridescent ammolite shell and puncture marks from a mosasaur! Not only is this ammonite astounding for the preserved signs of predation, but this shell also has turned into ammolite, a stunning organic gemstone that boasts an astonishing array of rainbows colors. Here, the brightness of this specimen's colors and the iridescence is a testament to the well-preserved state of the nacreous shell, and glimmers in fiery hues of red and orange. The color play due to lighting on this piece is astounding- best seen in person! Ammonite shells provided much needed protection from most predators, but a sizable and hungry mosasaur (an extinct marine reptile) could probably crush the shell in its jaws to get at the soft tissue. Size: 12.5" L x 2.75" W x 10" H (31.8 cm x 7 cm x 25.4 cm)
The puncture holes seen on this shell- the circles near the recessed spiral- are likely teeth marks from mosasaurs, although there is some debate whether the marks are a result from limpets attaching themselves to the ammonites; however, their size as well as presence on both sides of the ammonite, linked them to the upper and lower jaws and the bite of medium-sized Mosasaurs. Another interesting note is the remains of what appears to be the tips of fossilized tentacles or other organic tissue material on the chamber opening!
Ammolite is a rare, iridescent, gem-quality material cut from the fossilized shells of extinct sea creatures known as ammonites. Found only in the Bearpaw Formation in Alberta, Canada - along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains - this organic gemstone has a dazzling range of colors and patterns and is highly desired for freeform natural cabochons and assembled jewelry pieces.
According to the International Gem Society (IGS) statement on the difference between Ammolite and Ammonite: "You may find the terms ammolite and ammonite sometimes used interchangeably. However, ammonite, strictly speaking, refers to the fossil shells of ammonites, whether gem-quality or not. Ammolite refers to the gem-quality material made from fossils of particular species of ammonites." Also, according to IGS, "Ammonites were marine mollusks that became extinct around 65 million years ago. There were many species of ammonites, and their fossils have been found across the globe. The fossils of Placenticeras meeki, Placenticeras intercalare, and Baculites compressus can yield gem-quality ammolite. To date, this material has been found only in Alberta, Canada."
