Collecting the West
Prices for Old West Collectibles

Did you know you could spend $20,000 on a Panama hat? Óptimo shows us the kind of artistry that elicits this sort of deep-pocket spending. And, while the rest of the world finds high-end Old West collectibles at national shows and auctions, a stone's throw from the square on a neighborhood side street in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Cayuse displays enough show-stopping antique Indian and cowboy art, photography, and beadwork to make any curator envious. Shown here, a beaded vest, apparently made for a woman whose horse was named Arrow, circa 1930, feature Paiute handwork - typical of their collection.
