Reno, NV, USA, February 2, 2023 -- A ten-dollar 1902 red seal banknote from The Farmers & Merchants National Bank in Reno, Nevada sold for $12,500, a runaway slave broadside from 1862 brought $8,750, and a circa 1868 lime green Dr. Boerhaave’s Stomach Bitters bottle finished at $8,435 at a four-day auction held Jan. 19-22, live and online, by Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC.
The auction, officially titled Pike’s Peak or Bust! Western Americana, Bottles, Numismatics & More, was named in honor of the great Colorado Gold Rush of 1859 and featured a healthy dose of Colorado and Western states material, plus collectibles in many categories, including bottles, railroadiana, Native Americana, mining, numismatics, art, antique stocks and general Americana.
The 1902 Farmers & Merchants National Bank $10 red seal note was the second finest known of just the five red seals reported on the bank. It was PMG graded Very Fine 20, with some minor restorations on the reverse, but red seals are rare and coveted by collectors in any condition. It was signed by W. J. Harris and president Richard Kirman, the only president the bank ever had.
The folded slave broadside, 9 ¾ inches by 13 ½ inches, dated Sept. 28, 1852, offered “a liberal reward for the apprehension of (two) Negroes, who ran away Saturday night, the 21st, having stolen fifty dollars in money and a large lot of clothing.” The runaways were women: Eliza (in her 20s, “well made, rather on the slender side”) and Fanny (about 50 and “fond of smoking”).
The circa 1868 Dr. Boerhaave’s Stomach Bitters bottle with an applied top, 8 ¾ inches tall, was one of “probably less than six known” (Wichmann, 1999) and “extremely rare” (B133 in Ring). Little is known about this very scarce Western bitters bottle. Other examples of just the handful known are amber and yellow-olive. The one sold is possibly the only dark green lime one extant.
Following are additional highlights of the auction, held live in the Reno galley located at 3555 Airway Drive, as well as online via iCollector.com, LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Auctionzip.com. Phone and absentee bids were also accepted. Prices include buyer’s premium.
Day 1, on Thursday, January 19th, featured 514 lots of general Americana, which included geographic sort and miscellaneous categories, to include cowboy, sports, books and toys.
The runaway slave broadside was the day’s top lot, but other items included a City of Tombstone, Arizona business license, dated Aug. 1, 1881 (two months before the shoot-out at the OK Corral), and issued to the Peck Bros. (for “Peddlers”), signed by Town Marshall Virgil Earp (Wyatt’s brother) ($3,250); and A McLellan model 1885 cavalry saddle with an A.D. Laidley Ordinance inspection stamp, complete with tack, hammered for $2,625. A.D. Laidley inspected leather goods for the U.S. Ordinance Dept. from the Civil War thru the Indian Wars.
A copy of Amy's Marysville (Calif.) Directory, for the Year Commencing June 1858, Being a Register of this City and of the County of Yuba, Embracing a General and Business Register of Citizens, etc., 108 pages, went for $2,000. Also, a rare, unframed lithograph of the infamous Andersonville Confederate prison in Georgia during the Civil War, titled Sparks From the Campfire, copyright 1890, measuring 17 inches by 22 inches, found a new home for $2,625.
Day 2, on Friday, January 20th, had 546 lots of transportation (railroad and steamer passes and transportation ephemera) and bottles and saloon (featuring Colorado whiskey and medicines).
The Dr. Boerhaave’s Stomach Bitters bottle was Day 2’s top achiever. Also sold was a tan-colored jug for the “Bountiful Co-Operative / Mercantile Institution / Bountiful, Utah”, 11 inches tall, with five base chips but no apparent cracks ($3,625); and a near-mint, unlisted variant of a Preble (J 32) Old Kentucky Liquor House (Cripple Creek, Colo.) slope shoulder jug, 7 ½ inches tall and very scarce, with a brown glaze on the top and a lighter glaze on the bottom ($3,500).
An autograph letter dated April 14, 1829 and signed by Peter Haywood, whose naval career was clouded by the misfortune of being a 16-year-old seaman aboard the merchant vessel HMS Bounty at the time of her famous mutiny in 1789, rose to $5,625. Also, a United Verde & Pacific Railway Company pass No. 103, issued to W.C. Potts for the year 1900 and signed by W.A. Clark (one of the “Copper Kings” – or mining millionaires – of Montana) finished at $1,062.
Day 3, on Saturday, January 21st, was filled with 533 lots of art, Native Americana, political collectibles, militaria, firearms and weaponry, minerals and mining, and stocks and bonds.
A Day 3 top lot was an antique 16 gauge pinfire shotgun made in the 1870s by Masu Freres of Liege Belgium, 46 inches overall and with a 29 ¾ inch barrel ($3,125). The barrels were soft browned Damascus in the water twist pattern and the bores were bright without any pitting. Each component of the weapon was engraved with wild stags and does and was outlined in gold line.
A signed print of the renowned photographer Ansel Adams’s image El Capitan Winter Sunrise, 9 inches by 10 inches from an edition of 250 and inscribed on the back to Andrea Gray and Gardner/Fulmer Lithograph, changed hands for $1,250; while a framed lithograph by the equally famous artist Salvador Dali titled The Thumb, #12 of 65, reserved for Dali himself and others in his circle (not for sale), housed in a frame measuring 39 inches by 29 inches, garnered $2,125.
Two American Express Co. stock certificates – one dated June 16, 1862 and signed by Henry Wells as president and William G. Fargo as treasurer; and one dated Sept. 11, 1877 and signed by Fargo as secretary – sold as one lot for $1,437. Also, a framed print by Currier & Ives titled Gold Mining in California, colorful and vibrant, 10 inches by 14 inches (less frame), hit $1,437.
Day 4, on Sunday, January 22nd, was all numismatics, with 13 different Nevada banknotes and continuing with US coins (including Carson City Morgan silver dollars), plus medals and tokens.
The 1902 Farmers & Merchants banknote was the session’s star lot, but also sold was a seldom seen, large-size 1902 $5 blue seal note from the First National Bank of Winnemucca (Nevada), serial #1887, graded PCGS Very Fine 25, with an image of Benjamin Harrison ($7,500); and an 1871 silver U.S. Peace Medal (Julian IP-42), depicting Ulysses S. Grant on the obverse and the saying “One Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men” on the reverse, almost uncirculated ($4,500).
A collection of 71 bar and saloon tokens from Denver, Colorado, including the Equitable Bar, the Arch Bar, the Elite Bar, the Old Kentucky Bar, the Miners Saloon and the Little Gem Saloon rang up $3,875; while an 1890s token for the Bear Saloon in Leadville, Colo. (“Don Cameron / Leadville / Colo. / Good For / One / 12 ½ Cent / Drink”), octagonal in shape and 25 mm in diameter, hit $1,812. In 1898, the saloon’s license was temporarily revoked for bad behavior.
On March 4th, Holabird will auction Part 2 of items from the S.S. Central America, the fabled “Ship of Gold” that sank in a storm in 1857. Part 1, held in January by Holabird in Reno, was a huge success. The firm is seeking treasure-related items, ingots, gold nuggets and Gold Rush collectibles to add to this sale, which will feature “Treasures from the Land & Sea”. It is also looking for consignments from mining, railroadiana, Native Americana, numismatics and bottles.

The Beatles The song was written by Bob Dylan as a soundtrack to the film, "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid", in 1973. A live form of the melody was delivered on the maxi-single "Welcome to the Jungle (1987). A studio rendition was recorded for the soundtrack of the film "Day of Thunder" (1990) and, with slight changes, for the collection "Use Your Illusion II" (1991).
Biography of track:
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door lyrics were composed for the film 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid,’ a tale around two criminal companions. The tune was remembered for the soundtrack for the film from the outset and was subsequently delivered as a solitary on phonographic vinyl, the B-side contained "Turkey Pursue." The single crested at #12 on Announcement Hot 100 diagram.
Bob Dylan's virtuoso reverberates through time with his tune, for example, “Blowin’ In The Wind,” “Like A Rolling Stone” and "The Times They Are Changin'." He is a genuine expert on words and has written melodies that have empowered developments all over the planet. One more melody of such type is "Knockin' On Paradise's Entryway" from quite a long time back in 1973.
This melody has been covered by numerous extraordinary craftsmen that followed Bob Dylan. Most remarkable would be Weapons N Roses who made a Stone front of the melody for the film 'Long periods of Roar in 1990. In 1975 Eric Clapton shrouded the melody in Reggae style giving it a different energy.
Meaning of track lyrics:
A character is a construction that is moulded, compared with time, culture, family, religion, companions, etc. Dangers to character power incorporate maturing, misfortune, sickness, and so on. Covering one's firearms in this sense implies the lethal killing off parts of self that are as of now not utilitarian. Models could incorporate convictions, for example, "the world is a risky spot," "everybody is on a mission to get me," or "I suck at everything." But, the "I" that addresses the disposed of parts of self is discrete from them, showing more profound information, shrewdness, and harmony is working. An individual is substantially more than their little inner self permits them to accept. The sun is life, dark mists are the shortfall of life. Here comes "the dim evening of the spirit" all in all).
In other words the “badge” and “gun” the vocalist alludes to can likewise be deciphered as images of anything that try a withering individual has loyally put his hand to during his lifetime. To be sure Weapons N' Roses broadly played out this track in 1992 at the recognition show for music legend Freddie Mercury, who wasn't a lawman. Subsequently as a rule' "on Paradise's Entryway" is a tune where an individual who is dying is addressing the people nearest to him for this situation - explicitly a female - for one final time. Furthermore, he expects to be gotten legitimately into the great beyond.
The chorus of the track:
Mom, put my weapons on the ground
I can't shoot them any longer
That long dark cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on paradise's entryway
Thump, thump, knockin' on paradise's entryway
Thump, thump, knockin' on paradise's entryway
From Garrett's POV, these lines could imply that Garrett feels regretful for his companion's passing as the Bread cook came for help on Garrett's solicitation. So Garrett is addressing assuming he ought to put down his firearms. He might be accepting that he is coming up short of his obligation.
After more than thirty years “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan stays open for conversation. It is a straightforward tune with only two basic sections and a dull ensemble. Be that as it may, there is a more profound significance implanted in the tune when covered with the film scene.
Biography of Bob Dylan:
Bob Dylan, unique name Robert Allen Zimmerman, (conceived May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota, U.S.), American folksinger who moved from people to awesome music during the 1960s, implanting the verses of rock and roll, until then concerned for the most part with kid young lady heartfelt insinuation, with the intellectualism of exemplary writing and verse. Hailed as the Shakespeare of his age, Dylan sold a huge number of collections, composed more than 500 melodies recorded by in excess of 2,000 specialists, played out everywhere, and set the norm for verse composing.
Reviews of track:
Mom,' Sheriff Bread cook calls his better half as he lies passing on at her hands with gunfire twisted on his chest. He requests that the spouse remove his identification, as he can't utilize it any longer. The Sheriff is in the domain of disappearing into the haziness. The Sun is setting in the film when this scene occurs. So normally, the murkiness is beginning to overwhelm them as his life slips into the pit. He is feeling as though he is at the Magnificent Entryways of paradise. The song lyrics are also very catchy and wonderful.
If we somehow managed to take a gander at this from Garrett's POV, the tune could be about Pat scrutinizing his life decisions. He is a fugitive made into a sheriff. What's more, he is watching his kindred official drawing his final gasp, for a head-hunting position Garrett took on for $1,000. He could be feeling very pointless with his identification as he was unable to help his companion. He is losing vision of what is good and bad. Would it be a good idea for him to continue to chase Billy the Youngster and endanger more lives? Recall that Garrett is a previous companion of Billy the Kid so he likewise feels hesitant
FAQS:
Who initially performed "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"?
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a melody by American vocalist lyricist Bob Dylan, composed for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
What is the story behind knocking on heaven's door?
Christopher expected to celebrate the schoolchildren and educators who were killed in the Dunblane slaughter. His cover had arrived at number one in the UK Singles graphs and Scottish Singles Diagram that year in 1996. All continues went to the foundation for kids.

11 Paintings by Canadian Folk Artist Maud Lewis Bring A Combined $559,510 in Miller & Miller Auction
New Hamburg, ON, Canada, October 22, 2022 -- Eleven original paintings by the acclaimed Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis (1903-1980) sold for a combined $559,510 in an online-only Canadiana & Folk Art auction held October 8th by Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd., based in New Hamburg, Ontario. Overall, 344 lots came up for bid in the auction, which grossed a robust $871,695.
All figures quoted in this report are in Canadian dollars.
Of the eleven Maud Lewis paintings in the auction, Winter Sleigh Ride was an expected top earner, with a pre-sale estimate of $20,000-$25,000. It ended up selling for $100,300. The signed, circa 1955, 9 inch by 11 inch mixed media on beaverboard was a delightful and early Christmas season scene, similar to a later image used for a series of Canadian postage stamps.
Maud Lewis was one of Canada’s most renowned artists, the subject of numerous monographs, novels, plays, documentaries, and even a feature film. She was born into relative comfort and obscurity, and died in poverty, though enjoying national fame. She overcame severe physical challenges to create a unique artistic style, and sparked a boom in folk art in her home province.
Though she rarely left her tiny house, Lewis’s works have travelled around the world, and in the decades since her death she has become an iconic figure, a symbol of Nova Scotia, and a beloved character in the popular imagination. She painted many different vehicles that were part of her life and were the inspirations for many of her subjects. Black was her color of choice.
Fellow Canadian artist John H. Kinnear corresponded with Ms. Lewis from the time she became famous, in the 1960s, until her death, acting as her de facto agent. Kinnear would send her Masonite boards, brushes and requested paints. Maud would send the finished paintings for Kinnear to sell; he would send the proceeds to her home in Marshalltown.
“The simplicity and honesty of Canadian folk art by Maud Lewis, Joe Sleep and Joe Norris crushed high expectations,” said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. “Formal British underperformed, but the bright and optimistic works by the above mentioned surprised us. This sale was a compilation of three great collections and the highlights in each performed well. What it proved to us is that collectors are willing to pay for documented pieces with firm provenance.”
The early, circa 1975 oil on panel harbor scene by the late master folk artist Joe Norris (1924-1996), titled Lower Prospect (the town in Nova Scotia where Norris spent most of his life), signed and titled lower left, left the room for $7,080. Also, an oil on board rendering of flowers by another Nova Scotia master, Joe Sleep (1914-1978), 28 ½ inches square and artist signed and dated (’77) lower right, brought $6,490. Mr. Sleep learned to draw while hospitalized in Halifax.
The rest of the auction was a market fresh offering of Canadiana and folk art, from some of the oldest collections in the country. The backbone of the sale was built on the collection of world-class walking sticks and folk art carvings of Jim Fleming. Also up for bid was Canadiana and folk art from Marty Osler and items from the Susan Murray collection.
An exquisite mixed media diorama by Adelard Brousseau of Quebec titled Maple Sugar Time (circa 1930), finished at $10,620. It was a wonderful rendition of a traditional Quebec rural scene, measuring 36 ½ inches long by 21 inches tall by 24 ½ inches wide. Brousseau achieved the diorama by meticulously carving, one by one, the figures, the tools and animals in the scene.
An acrylic on paper by Canadian Woodland artist Norval Morrisseau (1932-2007) titled Ancestral Visitor, (1998) brought together many elements, such as spirits, a continuance of life in the body of one animal while showing a connection to other life and spirit forms. The signed work, measuring 22 inches by 30 inches (sight, less frame), brought $11,800.
Walking sticks from the Jim Fleming collection included these rare and fine examples:
- A painted black hardwood Iroquois/Christian Resurrection cane made in Quebec in the second half of the 19th century, with a stylized carving of a beaver for a handle (one of only two known), carved with a bird, rooster Christ on the cross, snake, etc. ($7,080).
- A mid-19th century Eastern Canadian Maritimes carved walking stick made of marine ivory, baleen and narwhal tusk, with the handle carved in the form of a forearm with a closed hand, and the shaft carved with spiraled fluting, 39 ½ inches in length ($5,015).
- A documented circa 1920 ladies’ carrying ribbed ball walking stick attributed to Willard MacKenzie (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia), made from hardwood, with gray and green paint and having a top with a compressed ball; below are bathers carrying a basket ($3,835).
A figured tiger maple secretary desk made circa 1840 and attributed to Grobb (Lincoln County, Ontario), made with pine secondary wood and with pressed glass and brass pulls to the interior, changed hands for $4,720. Also, a patent model (or salesman’s sample) of a Massey Harris #7B single furrow plow, stamped “No. 7B Massey-Harris” in the casting, fetched $3,835. The Canadian Patent office granted thousands of patents for agricultural devices starting in 1824.
A late 19th century Quebec carved, stained and painted pine gum box, a lovely book form box with a drawer, boldly carved with three straps and leaf fronds, and a back with varied geometric carvings and crosses, changed hands for $9,440; while a stained birch Tree of Life carved gum box, thew spine carved “Frank Martel, St. Jerome, 1910”, one side carved with the Tree of Life and birds, the other side with chalice within an oval field, decorated with gold paint, hit $4,248.
A seven-foot totem pole, created on Manitoulin Island around 1940, having a great, untouched surface and patina with vibrant colors, made by an unknown (but talented) artist, went to a determined bidder for $7,670. Also, a mixed media on collage on black arches paper by Anne Meredith Barry (Canadian, 1932-2003), titled Travelling Vest #12, The Avalon in January (1987), incorporating bold colors, whimsical patterns and handwritten text, rose to $4,720.
Internet bidding was via the Miller & Miller website (www.MillerandMillerAuctions.com), plus LiveAuctioneers.com. Telephone and absentee bids were also accepted. A total of 455 people registered to bid online, placing just under 8,000 cumulative bids. 99 percent of lots were sold, and 68 percent of the top 50 lots exceeded estimate.

Though she rarely left her tiny house, Lewis’s works have travelled around the world, and in the decades since her death she has become an iconic figure, a symbol of Nova Scotia, and a beloved character in the popular imagination. She painted many different vehicles that were part of her life and were the inspirations for many of her subjects. Black was her color of choice.
Fellow Canadian artist John H. Kinnear corresponded with Ms. Lewis from the time she became famous, in the 1960s, until her death, acting as her de facto agent. Kinnear would send her Masonite boards, brushes and requested paints. Maud would send the finished paintings for Kinnear to sell; he would send the proceeds to her home in Marshalltown.
“The simplicity and honesty of Canadian folk art by Maud Lewis, Joe Sleep and Joe Norris crushed high expectations,” said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. “Formal British underperformed, but the bright and optimistic works by the above mentioned surprised us. This sale was a compilation of three great collections and the highlights in each performed well. What it proved to us is that collectors are willing to pay for documented pieces with firm provenance.”
The early, circa 1975 oil on panel harbor scene by the late master folk artist Joe Norris (1924-1996), titled Lower Prospect (the town in Nova Scotia where Norris spent most of his life), signed and titled lower left, left the room for $7,080. Also, an oil on board rendering of flowers by another Nova Scotia master, Joe Sleep (1914-1978), 28 ½ inches square and artist signed and dated (’77) lower right, brought $6,490. Mr. Sleep learned to draw while hospitalized in Halifax.
The rest of the auction was a market fresh offering of Canadiana and folk art, from some of the oldest collections in the country. The backbone of the sale was built on the collection of world-class walking sticks and folk art carvings of Jim Fleming. Also up for bid was Canadiana and folk art from Marty Osler and items from the Susan Murray collection.
An exquisite mixed media diorama by Adelard Brousseau of Quebec titled Maple Sugar Time (circa 1930), finished at $10,620. It was a wonderful rendition of a traditional Quebec rural scene, measuring 36 ½ inches long by 21 inches tall by 24 ½ inches wide. Brousseau achieved the diorama by meticulously carving, one by one, the figures, the tools and animals in the scene.
An acrylic on paper by Canadian Woodland artist Norval Morrisseau (1932-2007) titled Ancestral Visitor, (1998) brought together many elements, such as spirits, a continuance of life in the body of one animal while showing a connection to other life and spirit forms. The signed work, measuring 22 inches by 30 inches (sight, less frame), brought $11,800.
Walking sticks from the Jim Fleming collection included these rare and fine examples:
- A painted black hardwood Iroquois/Christian Resurrection cane made in Quebec in the second half of the 19th century, with a stylized carving of a beaver for a handle (one of only two known), carved with a bird, rooster Christ on the cross, snake, etc. ($7,080).
- A mid-19th century Eastern Canadian Maritimes carved walking stick made of marine ivory, baleen and narwhal tusk, with the handle carved in the form of a forearm with a closed hand, and the shaft carved with spiraled fluting, 39 ½ inches in length ($5,015).
- A documented circa 1920 ladies’ carrying ribbed ball walking stick attributed to Willard MacKenzie (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia), made from hardwood, with gray and green paint and having a top with a compressed ball; below are bathers carrying a basket ($3,835).
A figured tiger maple secretary desk made circa 1840 and attributed to Grobb (Lincoln County, Ontario), made with pine secondary wood and with pressed glass and brass pulls to the interior, changed hands for $4,720. Also, a patent model (or salesman’s sample) of a Massey Harris #7B single furrow plow, stamped “No. 7B Massey-Harris” in the casting, fetched $3,835. The Canadian Patent office granted thousands of patents for agricultural devices starting in 1824.
A late 19th century Quebec carved, stained and painted pine gum box, a lovely book form box with a drawer, boldly carved with three straps and leaf fronds, and a back with varied geometric carvings and crosses, changed hands for $9,440; while a stained birch Tree of Life carved gum box, thew spine carved “Frank Martel, St. Jerome, 1910”, one side carved with the Tree of Life and birds, the other side with chalice within an oval field, decorated with gold paint, hit $4,248.
A seven-foot totem pole, created on Manitoulin Island around 1940, having a great, untouched surface and patina with vibrant colors, made by an unknown (but talented) artist, went to a determined bidder for $7,670. Also, a mixed media on collage on black arches paper by Anne Meredith Barry (Canadian, 1932-2003), titled Travelling Vest #12, The Avalon in January (1987), incorporating bold colors, whimsical patterns and handwritten text, rose to $4,720.
Internet bidding was via the Miller & Miller website (www.MillerandMillerAuctions.com), plus LiveAuctioneers.com. Telephone and absentee bids were also accepted.
