Morphy's to host live auction of outstanding Western art and antiques on June 20th in Santa Fe, NM

DENVER, Pa. - June 8, 2026 - PRLog -- Collectors of Western art and antiques will have two reasons to visit historic Santa Fe, New Mexico, over the weekend of June 19-21. The first is the 36th Annual Old West Show, a lively event where the best dealers from across the country will showcase hundreds of high-quality items for every level of collector. The show will be held June 20, with public show hours from 9am-4pm MT; and Sunday, June 21, from 9am-3pm MT. Admission is $10 each day.

Shortly after the Day 1 show conclusion on June 20, reason number two will present itself: a 515-lot Old West & Native American Art Auction conducted by Morphy Auctions. The auction's start time is 5pm MT (7pm ET), and all forms of remote bidding will be available, including absentee, by phone, via mobile app, or live online.

The comprehensive array of auction merchandise includes Western fine and decorative art; cowboy apparel; saddles, spurs, bridles, bits and chaps by noted makers; Native American art, textiles and pottery; relics; antique firearms and holsters; Hollywood cowboy memorabilia, antique and contemporary belt buckles and other silverwork; lawmen's badges, Old West advertising, photos and lithography, and more.

The auction's headliner is Lot 1325, a Manhattan Arms Navy Series IV Single Action Percussion Revolver with ownership attributed to the outlaw Jesse James. The weapon was reportedly used by James at the robbery of the Southern Bank of Kentucky in Russellville, Kentucky, on March 20, 1868. The pistol, Serial #64240, is estimated at $100,000-$150,000.

The first silver parade saddle built by Nolte-Olsen in San Francisco represents the pinnacle of high-end parade saddles produced by Al Nolte, circa 1937. The saddle is in pristine condition, having been mounted on a horse only twice since its inception in 1937. It is accompanied by an original 1930s photograph of the Nolte-Olsen storefront. Estimate: $40,000-$60,000
