W.F. Cody: Buffalo Bill Collector's Guide With Values
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
No American western hero or showman has ever matched the worldwide fame of William Frederick Cody (1846-1917), known as Buffalo Bill. This American icon was not only a showman but also a bonafide hero of the Old West. Despite the throng of collectors of western memorabilia, there has been a void of resources on the great volume and variety of Buffalo Bill memorabilia available. Finally, this long overdue book is just what collectors have needed. It chronicles Cody's life and his show business career of 44 years. Displaying a staggering amount of collectibles from this entertainment dynasty, its focus is on materials that can still be obtained by collectors today. Over 600 fascinating color photos of advertising pieces, toys, buttons, books, dime novels, and much more are separated into 14 categories and placed in chronological order. For the first time, collectors will be able to see at least one Buffalo Bill Wild West program for each of the 34 seasons. 1998 values. AUTHORBIO: Jim Wojtowicz started collecting at the age of seven - coins, stamps, baseball cards, non-sport cards, soda bottle caps, toy soldiers, cowboys, Indians, and comic books were his boyhood pursuits. After an intermission for marriage and starting a family, he continued on with Western items and antique toys, particularly Buffalo Bill collectibles for 18 years. REVIEW: Little information had been published on Buffalo Bill collectibles and memorabilia until the publication of this book. Besides all the photographs of collectibles, the book gives a very detailed historical account of Buffalo Bill's life.
