Fun pic with cool stuff! My sister and I still have our Breyer horses from our childhood. We were also into Johnny West, if you remember that universe.

My trophy for completing a 100 mile endurance ride in 4 days, 1981
Oh my gosh, I love that buckle. Amazing about the endurance ride. I don’t know lots about that because I generally ride hunters. I remember an episode on American Pickers where they were buying vintage trophies. Yours is way cooler than whatever they found (theirs were older trophies of course )! Unfortunately I have no trophies on my end, just ribbons.
I was thinking I didn’t know anything about the Johnny West stuff although it sounded vaguely familiar. Then I Googled it, and I did have one of those horses. I’m afraid his leg broke after too much jumping and cantering around on the basement floor.
I had to cobble something together so I could play too!!! From the top down: One of my favorite things. An unmarked set of Kachina Salt and Pepper shakers. Which are followed by an Imperial knife(c.1930-1936), a Buck 373, an Old Timer 1040T, a Buck 371+ and a Remington UMC R1085.
Although the YouTube video is not mine, within the 1st 4 minutes you will see exactly how
the star of the show came into my collection in the late 1900’s.
Cool little collection! I have watched many of Steve1989’s MRE tasting videos. They’re always entertaining, but I haven’t seen the video you linked, so thanks! That was very interesting. Looking forward to at least two more future photo sets.
1920s Cheyenne beaded sheath and trade knife found in a Cody, WY antique store many years ago. Props include my wife’s Double D Ranch jacket and Navajo graduated silver beads by F. Laner, circa 1980s.
What about some love for them well prepared Swiss folks!! A Wenger “Toolchest” along with a Medicine Man by Timm Lewis, a pickup truck ride by Clarence & Russell Lee and an ashtray by Ike Wilson.
