- Lot Description
Leather doctor bag, 10 x 12 x 18 in., produced by J.S. Collins & Co., front flap near handle faintly marked with Crest logo.
John S. and Gilbert Collins are generally regarded as saddle makers to Buffalo Bill Cody and Theodore Roosevelt (who also owned a pair of Collins sealskin chaps). Learning their craft from their father in Nebraska, they originally started as saddlers and harness makers at Fort Laramie in Wyoming Territory ca 1872. They had shops in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Miles City, Montana, and marketed to Texans driving cattle through the area. The sturdy Cheyenne Rig was famous as a preferred saddle among ranchers of the day. They also made holsters in the Cheyenne style having the recurve bulge. Their early maker mark is a shield, which collectors look for in dating Collins goods. The shop in Cheyenne closed in 1885. Gilbert died in 1880, and for a short while, John teamed up with John Morrison and manufactured under the name Collins and Morrison. John Collins died in 1910.
