Exciting News
The Floyd E. Risvold Collection - American Expansion & The Journey West
Over fifty years in the making, The Risvold Collection boasted a fantastic array of historical postal envelopes (a large number include original contents), autographs, manuscripts, rare photos and books – all of which bring to life the story of America's journey westward - and many of which have not been on the market in decades. The only collection of its kind, the Risvold sale was offered at unreserved public auction by Spink Shreves Galleries on January 27-29, 2010. Due to the popularity and historical importance, the Risvold collection has been kept “live” on our website for viewing and research purposes. The items shown, will appeal to anyone interested in American history, remarkable diversity, rarity and historic value of the material. Just a few of the areas covered in the collection include material from early Indian wars, Fur Trade companies, the Civil War, Mormon history, railroads, steamboats, Pony Express letters, military forts, and much more.
To appropriately honor and preserve The Risvold Collection and its lasting legacy, a stunning set of three hardbound catalogs housed in a luxurious slipcase has been produced. Quantities are limited. To order your own set ($125 postage paid for U.S. addresses; $150 for foreign addresses), please call 800-556-7826 or visit www.SpinkShreves.com. In addition, the entire sale – complete with full-color photos and detailed descriptions – is available on our website to view this legendary auction that truly was, “history in the making”.
