These are original Antiques; NOT reproductions. These Lithographs are 75 to 85 years old!
Each authentic old Vintage Lithograph is in absolutely Mint condition! These Antique Full-color old Lithos were purchased from a Warehouse locked up prior to World War II from an old long-out-of-business Publishing Company. They have a significant historical value and are guaranteed to be genuine. We personally found these ourselves in about 1973 and have kept them flat and in perfect unfaded untouched condition!
These have not been available in the Antiques Market for decades! Wholesale auctions of small groups of the Lithographs are only available on e-Bay auctions!
You are Bidding on the 5 following Antique Lithographs:
"Katchina Maker" 1930 Santa Fe Railroad authentic original Calendar Art - 11 x 15 size - mint condition
(Very small quantity of Katchina Maker remain - with an Estimated Retail Value of $20-25. EACH !)
"Appeal to the Great Spirits" or "Appeal to the Gods" by Cyrus Dallin (1861 - 1944) - more scarce 9x12 with Billowing Clouds
"Appeal to the Great Spirits" by the artist Cyrus Dallin - 7 x 9 - 1925 in Sunset Yellows
"End of the Trail" in deep rich blues by James Fraser - who gained fame with his exhibition at the 1915 Pan Pacific Exposition, and as the Designer of the Buffalo Nickel - 12 x 16 - circa 1925
"Appeal to the Great Spirits" - also known as "Appeal to the Gods" by Cyrus Dallin - 9 x 12 and made 1925 in Blue tones
I found and purchased this small quantity of various titles and artists from a Basement storage area beneath an old Downtown Santa Ana, California General Merchandise Store. Many, if not most, are from the long defunct Los Angeles Publishing Company and were produced primarily during the 1920’s and 1930’s. I have since taken great effort to store flat and to protect the ones remaining since making the “Find” in 1973 – most are still in mint and near-mint condition.
Through the decades, I have sold most of this unique find to (and had input from) hundreds of dealers and collectors, gradually adding to the accumulation of specific information. These old Lithographs are fairly well known in the trade. During the early years, we sold these primarily through the Antique Trader Newspaper in Dubuque, Iowa. Haddad's old Trade Catalog lists many of these dating back to the 1920’s.
Some are plate-signed and dated; all are documented accurately; we have NEVER made a single copy of any Lithograph or Artwork. These are the small numbers that remain of the actual titles from the original Publishing Company; Early 20th Century techniques of Photoengraving and Photolithography were the primary methods of faithful reproduction of Original Art and Paintings; the limited numbers of these lithographs are great examples of the early techniques.
I will include a Certificate attesting to the Authenticity of the old lithographs including the above information with each auction.
