The most iconic photo from the Wild West is about to make history

 

For over a century, the Wild Bunch legend has captivated Americans with its gripping tale of wild-west outlaws and daring Pinkerton detectives. Now, an incredible opportunity is available for one lucky individual to own a piece of wild west history – the iconic original photo used to capture and track down notorious outlaws Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid and their Wild Bunch gang.

Valued at between $60,000 and $75,000, this legendary original photograph (dated 1901), along with multiple other historical memorabilia, are among the 250 lots to bid on during a special internet-only auction being conducted by Auction House One Of A Kind Collectibles on Jan. 26 at 8 p.m.

According to Auction House Founder and Owner David Gindy, “The original photo of the ‘Wild Bunch’ is infamous and it changed history for these notorious outlaws. It gave the Pinkerton detectives the break they were looking for, to hunt down the cold-blooded train robbers. What makes this photo even more important, is it is believed to be the actual original working photo the Pinkertons used to create their reward broadsides at the time.” Visit: [ https://www.oakauctions.com/_Iconic_Original_Photo_of_the_Wild_Bunch__1901___O-lot8740.aspx ]

The auction also features historical memorabilia from some of the most important historical figures in history, adds Gindy. “This special event is unique opportunity to acquire a piece of our collective past – a memento of a defining event or person whose unfolding or actions had effects which are relevant today.” Based in Coral Gables, Fla., Gindy founded One Of A Kind Collectibles in 1994.

In addition to the one-of-a-kind original Wild Bunch photograph print, are fine presidential and historical signed pieces from Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, John Hancock, Alexander Hamilton, George Custer, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, and even Sitting Bull. Aviation autographs from Neil Armstrong to Amelia Earhart, and Charles Lindbergh are also available, along with works of art by Picasso to Dali – and even a Walt Disney signed Mickey Mouse Cell.

“Literature enthusiasts can find Charles Dickens’ and Mallarme’s autographs in the collection, as well,” mentions Gindy. “There’s certainly something for everyone in this collection.” And for collectors interested in entertainment and music, they will find such highlights as The Beatles, Gershwin, Audrey Hepburn, and The Three Stooges. Sports enthusiasts may also bid on an incredible Ty Cob T206 graded 8 tobacco card or signed bats, footballs, or baseballs.

Not only is this an opportunity for collectors to add amazing historical memorabilia to their collections, but it also provides an exciting way for people to learn more about history through such unique and awe-inspiring items,” says Gindy. “Each piece tells a story about the person who owned it or created it as well as about our country’s past. It is an excellent way to connect with our nation’s history while having fun bidding on these rare pieces!”

Anyone interested in historical artifacts or memorabilia, including all buyers, bidders, and collectors, may join this rare opportunity on Jan. 26 to take home a piece of history.
