SANTA FE, N.M. — Morphy Auctions’ 34th Annual Brian Lebel’s Old West Auction was conducted on Saturday, June 22, in conjunction with the Old West Show, which welcomed more than 100 dealers from across the country. Some of the major categories in the 439-lot auction included Western fine art, cowboy antiques, firearms, jewelry, advertising, photography and Native American objects. A special-order Ed Bohlin parade saddle set, made for Justin W. Dart Sr (1907-1984), political kingmaker and honoree of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, led the sale with a realized price of $307,500 with buyer’s premium, soaring past its high estimate of $175,000. The saddle was adorned with various Western icons and, on the swell caps, gold images of “Cowboy” Mickey Mouse twirling a lasso above an engraved replication of Walt Disney’s signature. Further results will be detailed in an upcoming issue.
