Scarce Treasure From the Wild West Days — Bat Masterson Autograph Letter Signed — “…My father was born in this state eighty years ago and moved to Illinois where I was born fifty one years ago…”
Very rare Bat Masterson autograph letter signed “W.B. Masterson”, dated 31 December 1905 from New York City, where the fabled figure of the Wild West era was, in his continually-evolving career as gambler, lawman and saloon keeper, then a newspaperman for the New York Morning Telegraph. Letter is addressed to a “Mr. Watson F. Masterson” of Ramsey, West Virginia and reads in full: “Dear Sir. Without going into details can assure you that we are not related; even remotely. My father was born in this state eighty years ago and moved to Illinois where I was born fifty one years ago. There are a great many families of Mastersons in Missouri and Iowa none of whom are related to mine. My father had but one brother and he was several years the eldest and has been dead about forty years and died without issue. Very respectfully. W.B. Masterson”. Includes original postmarked envelope. Originally acquired from a Charleston, West Virginia man whose father personally received the letter from Masterson. Comes with a photocopy of a newspaper article discussing this provenance. Letter measures 7.75″ x 10.25″ on two pages with a few words underlined in pencil and two extremely small holes, one on each page. Near fine condition. Sold for $16,000.
Exceptionally Rare Sitting Bull Autograph
Very rare autograph of Sitting Bull, the Native American holy man, Sioux chief and U.S government defier. Signature was originally part of an autograph album of late 19th and early 20th century notables, likely obtained during the brief period of four months that Sitting Bull performed in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, where he earned approximately $50 per week and reportedly cursed attendees in his native tongue. Ultimately, though, Sitting Bull would be shot by Indian Agency Police upon the reservation, ostensibly when he resisted arrest. Autograph page is signed boldly and clearly in black ink: “Sitting Bull” with distinctive dotting of “i’s”. Minor soiling and toning, else near fine condition. Dark Sitting Bull autograph. Sold for $7,866.
Annie Oakley Autograph on Her Cabinet Card from 1880
Annie Oakley autograph on her cabinet card, circa 1880s. A young Ms. Oakley poses holding a double-barrel shotgun with her gloved right hand. Boldly signed in ink, “Annie Oakley.” Annie Oakley became famous when her future husband Frank Butler bet $100 that he could beat anyone in a shooting contest. He lost the bet to Annie, but won her heart. They set out performing their own act which included Annie shooting ashes off Frank’s cigarette. They later joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show in 1885. Ironically, her greatest source of wealth came in later years when William Randolph Hearst’s newspaper created a false story that she was using cocaine. She sued Hearst and won, netting her a sum that allowed her to become a philanthropist. Image measures 4.25″ x 6.5″. Baker’s Art Gallery, Columbus, Ohio backmark. Small thumbtack holes to each corner and mounting remnants to verso. Overall, near fine condition. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity from PSA/DNA. Sold for $7,000.
