Museum Collection of a Midwest Institution 
I went to a remarkable auction last weekend and thought I'd share with you some of the cool items I didn't win. Pretty neat stuff with a lot of African items and interesting things from Kansas history.

OSAGE CADDO CABINET PHOTO LATE 1800'S

PONCA INDIAN ALBUMEN CABINET PHOTO C. 1890

FOUR CABINET PHOTOS OF 3 INDIAN GIRLS 1890'S

Really, really wanted these...

BROAD BRIMMED QUAKER HAT CIRCA 19TH CEN.

I would have looked pretty stylish in this.

US ARMY M-1902 SIGNAL CORPS UNIFORM

INSCRIBED CARRY NATION HATCHET

Another item I really wanted but, alas, it got to rich for my blood. A unique piece of American history.

How beautiful is this?

TAXIDERMY MOUNTED OSTRICH

My friend Dan really wanted this. The gentleman who won it wrapped it in plastic wrap and took it home in the back of his pickup truck.

TRIBAL AFRICAN BROAD BLADED SPEAR CIRCA 1920

(Pictures do not accurately convey how cool this thing was in real life.)

And something I did win...
