HIGH NOON AMERICANA SHOW

Went to the High Noon Western Americana Show in Phoenix.  The highlight was renewing old acquaintances.

Exhibitors at the show have virtually anything a person could want from antique guns to trade blankets.

They always have an auction on Saturday evening.  The highlight of this year’s show was Pancho Villa’s silver threaded saddle…Which, incidentally, was his last saddle.

The saddle was scheduled to bring a price between $150,000 and $250,000.

We had been asked over to friends for dinner.  So, we were unable to attend.  But, if it was like other recent Western Memorabilia auctions, it made or surpassed this price.
