($2,100)
5003
Classic “Indian” 12 ga. Double Barreled Shotgun
Barrel is 20” long (probably some barrel length sawed off). One of two guns found in old trapper’s cabin in western Montana in 1880’s. Two unique leather wraps near trigger guard which was common practice among some Indians, trappers, mountain men and others. Classic “Rabbit Ears” on both sides. Great patina adds to the iconic look of a real western shotgun! Ithaca custom made shotgun. Dedication stamped on barrel “Made Expressly for J.C. Hoffmayr”.
Circa 1860’s
($800)
5004
Full Stock Percussion Mountain Rifle
Length 55”. Curly maple stock. Percussion probably converted from flint. Made by famous gun maker A.W. Spies, 1835-1855. Stamped in metal “A.W. Spies, Warranted”. Could be earlier if converted. Barrel made by well-known barrel maker Daniel Siegfried, Wannersville, PA, 1806-1860. Beautiful rifle with lots of engraved brass. Stock has very small crack just under the base of the barrel.
Circa early 1800’s.
($3,200)
5005
Sawed Off Double Barreled Ithaca Shotgun
Barrel length 19”. Prominent rabbit ears and double triggers on this 12 gauge shotgun. This gun was found in a buried cache of guns in the 1960’s east of Malta, Montana. A good friend of mine had a friend who actually found the cache and recovered the guns. As you can imagine, this gun is not in working order. The shoulder plate on the end of the stock is embossed “Ithaca Gun” and shows two flying ducks. It is also stamped in the metal “New Ithaca Gun” on both sides near the rabbit ears. In all likelihood, these guns were stashed by outlaws on the run or to hide them from the Indians. This is a real piece of the Old West!
Early to mid-1800’s.
($350)
5006
Very Old Single Barreled 12 gauge Shotgun
Sawed off barrel 20” long. Front stock has leather wrap with rawhide stitching, center wrap behind the hammer also has leather stitching with brass tacks on perimeter and the butt plate area wrapped with leather and held in place with copper brads.

Indian Made Salmon Spear
Length 6 ½ ft. Very old and handmade by Indians of the Northwest Coast. A metal spike is attached to the main shaft that holds the fish between the “jaws”.

Circa 1890.
($750)

“Critter Smoker” (to smoke animals from a den)
Length 36”. Burning wood chips and hot coals were fed into the metal mid-section, the metal spout was long enough to enter the hole and air was forced through to push the smoke out the end. The smoker is made of wood and leather sides and has a hole in the center for excess air to escape. It also has a brass plate that reads “Made by Funster Bros. & Co. Largest direct handler of raw fur in the world. St. Louis, USA.” From the collection of the Great Lakes Fur Trade Museum, Two Harbors, MN.

All three are nearly the same length – 18”. Furs were case skinned (no cut running the length of the body) and stretched skin side out. When dried, they are ready to sell or be transported. Hand carved and great patina.
Circa early 1900’s.
($200)
5019
Five Cedar Fur Stretching Boards

Large Male Tanned Wolverine Skin
Length 44”. Skinned with belly cut for open display. Beautiful big male with a very prominent “diamond” on his back. Wolverines were often referred to as “demon of the North”. They have bear-like attitudes. Wolverine fur was highly sought after as a trim on fur hoods in cold country because condensation will not frost up or turn to ice on wolverine fur.
($350)
5023
Trap Grown Into a Tree
Height 13” x 14”W. One of a kind freak of nature! Rarest of the rare! I acquired this in 1990 and I know that the previous owner owned it for more than 30 years. The trap is a 1 ½ Victor double long spring with most of one spring grown into the tree. The chain which is connected to the trap protrudes out of the log and is all complete including ring and factory spike for anchoring trap. Always a major topic of discussion.
Circa late 1800’s- early 1900’s.
($3,000)
5024
Newhouse “Slick Pan No. 6” Bear Trap
Length 48”. One of the rarest and most sought after of Newhouse traps. This is called the “Second Series”, only made between1855-1860, very limited production. It is referred to as “Slick Pan 6” because there are no markings on the pan. Most of the larger Newhouse traps made after this series had raised letters on the pan. Both springs are stamped and read “S. Newhouse, Oneida Community, N.Y.” Short chain has factory heavy duty swivel. All parts are original and complete. Overall trap is in mint condition. I purchased this trap in 1993 from Mrs. Rood in Salmon, Id. Her deceased husband used this trap to trap bears for several decades. Both jaws have teeth.
Circa 1855-1860.
5025
Newhouse No. 5 Kenwood Large Trap

Length 27”. Pan with raised letters reads “No 150, S. Newhouse, Oneida Community, N.Y.” Both springs are well marked. Offset jaws with teeth. Chain with large ring and factory swivel. Mint condition – all original parts. Newhouse “bear” traps are the largest traps made by Newhouse and by far the most collected. Newhouse Trap Co. was sold in the 1950’s and changed the name to “Animal Trap Company”. Generally any trap marked “Animal Trap Company” means they were manufactured after 1950 and therefore not as valuable.
Circa 1800’s/early 1900’s.
5027
Double Long Spring No. 15 Newhouse Bear Trap
Length 34”. Pan reads “No. 15, Oneida Community, S. Newhouse, N.Y.” Both springs well marked. Offset jaws with teeth. Factory chain with large ring and swivel.

Closed jaws with teeth (3 or 4 teeth slightly blunted off tips). Traps this size would be excellent for beaver, wolverines, coyotes, small bear etc. Mint condition overall with all original parts.
Circa 1800’s/early 1900’s.

5031
Rare Hand Forged Bear Trap

Cross from the pan to the trigger hand etched that reads “E.T. Libby” (Montana). Very old but fully functional and could be used today. Very nice workmanship for a hand forged trap. This is a one-of-a kind trap that has seen many years of use.
Circa early 1800’s.
($1,200)
5032
Hand Forged Midsized Drag
Length 11 ½”. Drag has a clever design that connects drag to shank which also has been forged to form a loop at the end. Function over form and in this case, simple is better. No markings.
Circa 1800’s.
($300)
5033
Extremely Rare Newhouse No. 5 Open Top “Steer Horn” Clamp
Length 9”. Most of the larger Newhouse double spring bear traps are nearly impossible to set by one person. Newhouse made a specific screw down clamp for each size in all their larger spring traps. This is a No. 5 and is made for the NO. 5 Newhouse bear trap. Two clamps were required to set one trap. Clamps were made to fit the spring width and were screwed down to remove the pressure of the springs. The jaws could then be opened and the trap could be “set”. The clamps could be unscrewed and the trap was set. The open top steer horn clamps were only made very early and are extremely difficult to find. The rare of the rare! “5” is marked in raised letters on both sides at the base of the “horns”. Near perfect condition.
Circa early 1800’s.
5034
Very Rare Newhouse No. 6 Bear Trap Clamp.
Length 12”. This clamp description is very similar to No. 5033 except this style has a looped oval ring on one end and its much larger. This style was made later than the open top steer horns. It is stamped “Made In USA” and is perfect condition except a ¼ inch missing on the tip of the slider. Still, very hard to find.
Circa mid to late 1800’s.
5035

5037
Old Carved Wooden Duck Decoy
Length 14”. I was told this decoy was made by Ward Bros. many years ago. Much of the paint has worn off from lots of in use wear. Balance weight attached to the bottom as well as a ring for attachment. “J.H.S.” lightly stamped near weight. Fabulous old wood patina – very rich!
Circa early 1900’s.
($300)
5038

Height 23” x 22” length x 11” Deep. Very old authentic decoy from the Lake Matamaskeet area in N.C. Acquired from the Bob Timberlake. Good condition with in-use wear.

($1,350)
5039
Old Carved Cabin/Cache Scene
Width 38” x 28” deep, tallest height 25”. This diorama /North Country scene was created with the utmost attention to detail and accuracy as they were in the “old days”. Starting on the left side, firewood is stacked with an elk and moose rack on top of the wood. On the front porch and front of the cabin are various pots with traps and one stretched beaver skin on hoop. Moose rack and other antlers are lined near the roof edge. Note the red/white plaid curtains inside the windows. A shed roof off the side of the cabin sits over more firewood with elk and deer sheds. The chimney is actually laid stones! Hand carved cedar shakes have been attached in normal fashion. The hooped round skin represents a beaver skin drying on its stretcher. The other skin on the front side of the cache wall represents stretched deer hide. Both were made of mice skins to look the part. The cache model is very accurate to scale and construction. On the cache, the ladder leads up to a platform for standing where food and other staples were stored in the winter, out of reach of wolverines and other critters that would likely eat the contents. Even the cache roof is layered with spruce boughs to protect the contents from snow buildup. All in all, it’s a remarkable model.
A brass oval plate attached to the oak base reads “By Josef Dvorak, Babb Montana”. Babb is a small gateway town located near the east side of Glacier Park and the Browning Indian Reservation. I bought this piece 25 years ago from a museum in Helena that closed down.
Circa 1900-1950’s.
($2,200)
5040
“Trappers Mansion” Cabin Model by J. Dvorak
Height 14” x 24”W x 21” Deep. Like No. 5039, this North Country trapper’s cabin model is also made by Joseph Dvorak of Babb, Montana. It’s somewhat smaller but made with the same attention to detail and accuracy. Some elements are in both pieces. This model has no cache but it does have a front porch with a railing and decorative post. It does have a clothes line with clothing and a front door with post hinges and door latch. Also, this model has numerous antlers, pots, toolbox, saw horse and more within the model scene. On the base in front of the cabin is a brass plaque that reads “Trapper’s Mansion by J, Dvorak” Together these models make a very striking statement. This model was also purchased from a museum in Helena, MT that closed their doors many years ago. Dvorak made a very limited number of these models in his lifetime. They are highly sought after and it is very rare to find one today!
Circa 1900 to 1950’s.
($2,200)
5041
Very Old Native made Totem Face

5045
Hand Carved Noggin Canoe Cup
Length 6”. These cups were carved from Spruce burls by French Voyagers, trappers and many others for dipping water from lakes and rivers. They were designed to be attached to belts and sashes with hand carved wooden splints. This cup has a small carved wooden canoe for its splint and has a bull moose “painted” with black ink on its side. For the French Voyagers these cups were very personal and usually had carving, writing or designs that had meaning to the cup owner.

Handmade Crooked Knife and Case

Spectacular Double Oak Cigar Showcase

Each section has its own cylinder glass fronts that can be accessed and opened from the rear of the case as well as slide open from the front. Each section has two sliding doors that are mirrored from the front. The bottom sections have flat glass panels in the front that are fixed for viewing display. They are accessed from the rear with two sliding doors in each bay. Both upper and lower ends of the case have glass for better viewing. With all of its space, it can display a great deal of items. It’s old, beautiful and rare, but best of all, it’s functional!
