Press Release
"Rounding Up the Old West"
The Old West Round-Up, loaded with western collectibles, antiques, jewelry, beadwork, vintage firearms, hats, spurs, saddles, bits and rugs will draw hundreds of professional buyers and western enthusiasts. Join us at THE RANCH for Loveland Old West Round-Up, a sale of Western & Indian collectibles. Purveyors of Old West Americana will travel from as far east as Massachusetts and from the northern Dakota & Montana territories.
The quality of items will match anything offered, anywhere. We've built a reputation for that. It's an opportunity for the serious collector or novice, even folks looking for western style furnishings for their homes, to purchase that long searched-for treasure.
The Round-Up clearly shows that the Old West, Cowboys, Indians, and Vaqueros, is alive far beyond the legend and lore. Henry's rifles, 1873 Winchester repeaters and just about any other tool of the trade" will be for sale. Don't forget the saddles, boots, chaps and vintage western clothing, we can even find you a 10-gallon hat, shaped and fitted for any cowboy, cowgirl or collector. There will be spurs and bits here that can't be found anywhere else.
Is it the old pawn jewelry you're looking for? Look no farther! Silver and turquoise Indian jewelry is a popular favorite of many buyers. A full representation of beadwork, basketry and rugs will catch the eye of the Native American enthusiasts.
The Hollywood Westerns will be represented well with items from Hoppy, Gene and Roy. Don't think that we've left out the paper ephemera and book collectors because we haven't - this is the place to find that first edition or hard-to-find book, you've been looking for.
Along with all this, we will be featuring over 80 of today's top Cowboy Makers in the 4th Art of the Cowboy Makers Contest. Contemporary makers of boots, hats, saddles, spurs, chaps, cinches, engravers, leather carvers and braiders will compete for trophy buckles and cash prizes. We also have a Youth category, they are tomorrow's makers. The public will vote for the People's Choice Award in each category. Following the show the contestants will be on exhibit at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs.
