Publisher's printed ochre wrappers, front cover with an Till Gooden illustration in color of a bucking bronco. Mild soiling, old clear tape to spine ends, corners lightly curled.

On the copyright page Otto has written -- You can't go by these prices. Write for prices on anything. I work on everything in here up to p. 200. On the opposite page, above a photographic portrait of Bohlin, Otto has written-- My boss, a good guy.

In 1912 he moved to Miles City MT, and cow punched and learned English. In 1916, Bohlin moved to Cody, WY. where he drove one of the last stage routes into the East entrance of Yellowstone National Park. He worked with both a blacksmith and a jeweler in Cody and honed his skills fabricating bits, spurs and buckles.

Here he met Tom Mix, who bought the coat off his back as well as his fine tooled leather boots, and travel bag. By 1922 he was living in Hollywood making silver and leather goods at his Hollywood Novelty and Leather Shop. By 1926 he had a well established business as Edward H. Bohlin, Inc. after which all leather goods, and silver were marked ?Bohlinmade, Hollywood, California? He eventually went on to become the silversmith to the stars.…
