Got any cowboy stuff?

I am doing my office up in western/cowboy/gun motiff. Got a lamp that looks like a sixshooter in a wrapped holster with a cowboy hat for a shade. Got a nice limited print of "One Riot One Ranger" and a few Remington type sculptures of bucking horses and old scouts. Got a few SAA 45's to hang in cases on the walls. It is a good start,but not enough to give me that warm fuzzy feeling when I am at my desk. What that really means is if I don't have enough cool stuff to look at then I may end up doing actual work our of sheer boredom. If you have any old western junk that you are not attached to, I would appreciate the consideration.

    I bought a dental appliance off eBay purported to be worn by Bob Steele. I keep it in a glass of water on my nightstand as an homage to "Thunder In The Desert". I will send it to you if you promise not to try to wear it.

    old west property signs would be cool in a real estate office.

    About 15 years ago, I almost bought a collection of "cat house" tokens. They were from old west towns. The customers would buy them from the bartender and then give them to the "soiled doves" for services rendered. It kept the girls honest. I think there are replicas available and a lot of them were really cool. Some badges, cards, dice, poker chips, spurs, bull horns or branding irons would make you "warm & fuzzy", too (especially the branding irons!).

    Sorry not much to loan, but I would suggest an old set of spurs, a leather lariat, a good hat, at least one Charlie Russel replica.

    Here is what I have behind me at my office. On the side wall I have a Tombstone movie poster in a frame, a bronze bucking horse and cowboy, a narly old European whitetail mount, a Catlin Indian Print reproduction, and a buffalo grazing in the badlands signed and numbered print done by a local artist. Oh and at least one bottle of fine red eye and shot glasses for company.[:D]

    The badge is a real badge and a few on board know that it has a bullet hole in it. Was worn by a friend of mine when he was shot to death in the line of duty. I put the son of a buck a way for life without parol.

    The 1937 brand book has grand daddy's brand in it.

    All jokes aside, I have seen some interesting things that you might want to include in your office on ebay.[:0]

    DWS has a Brokeback Mountain Movie poster on the ceiling above his bed but I doubt he's willing to part with it.

    You need cow skins....nothing looks more western than boots sitting in the corner and cowskins hanging on the wall and over the couch.

    How about a tanned cow hide, hair on it still? Make a nice rug.
