Holabird Western Americana Collections

Holabird's Western Americana Collections is an exciting new company that we hope will bring back the fun in collecting for many Americana collectors. With many of the larger auction companies requiring minimum lot prices of $500, and in some cases $2000, a huge percentage of collectors are left out. Our company will provide all the missing ingredients in today's collecting market - a plethora of rare and unique items generally priced under $500, specifically designed and aimed at that collector market.
The Holabird name in the title of the company draws its roots from Fred Holabird, who will act as a company adviser and the fun spirited auctioneer we've come to know and love. We're very excited to bring to light some of the best and rarest collectibles at affordable prices for collectors everywhere.
Holabird's Western Americana specializes in historical artifacts related to the expansion of the West including mining, transportation, banking, commerce, politics, etc.

Trustworthy
There is alot of fake stuff out there but you can trust what you are getting from Holabird. Trust me even on this site you can get caught. My item came as described, shipping was fair and it was packed very well. The item was legitimate. I will buy from them again and so should you.

ALWAYS A GREAT ONLINE AUCTION EXPERIENCE
Holabird never fails to offer the most interesting items! And, as an online bidder, I have always been impressed with their mindful auction process. Timing is perfection. My items are as described and shown and packed quite carefully. Communication is consistent, clear and friendly throughout the process. No wondering about where your won item is in the post-auction process. One of my favorite auction houses and highly recommended. No matter where you are!
