OLD AMERICAN RODEO
MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
As many of you know, I spend hours searching old basements, going through attics and sitting on wooden floors to find old Stories of Western Americana. Here is a seldom found story entitled “*10Ranch Stampede Wild West,” with photos showing a very rare stolen name plate with the text details of how a promoter named a wild west show intentionally copying a rare Miller Bros. Poster of the 101 Ranch. How he did it and why is just part of this history. I have placed a picture below of how the Name Rustler hijacked the name 101 Ranch by placing an *10R but split the R(anch) to make it appear that it was the Real Wild West 101 Ranch Show. (Both are pictured). The promoter deemed his show as the Greatest Show of its kind on Earth.
The Greatest Show of its kind on Earth.
Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones like this one detailing the ins and outs of the Rodeo World and the tricks the promoters used are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.
Here’s one of ‘em.
Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.
This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.
Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive.
I hope you appreciate the effort.

OLD AMERICAN RODEO
MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.
What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
