The lot features two original Charles P. Hart Arizona Territory, Corona Cabinet Cards of Saguaro / Sahuaro Cacti, circa 1880-1890's. Provenance: Tombstone Western Heritage Museum, Tombstone, Arizona. Photos were owned by C. P. Hart (Charles Philip Hart), son of celebrated Tombstone gunsmith, S.L. "Lum" Hart. Samuel Lombard "Lum" Hart (1830-1893) was a very highly regarded and skilled gunsmith over his ten years in Tombstone. If gun repairs were needed, Hart's on Freemont Street was the place to go, located just a short distance from the famous Fly Photography studio and right next door to the O.K. Corral. On Oct. 26th of 1881 Hart, while working in his store, would be one of the relatively few witnesses to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral that made Tombstone and the Earp's famous. Guns that were re-worked or repaired by Hart were often stamped with his logo, which was the letters S and L over a "heart," an artistic yet compact and simple way of saying "S.L. Hart." S.L. was entrusted with both basic repairs as well as also sought out for his special Colt pistols. Some of Hart's more notable clients were US Marshal Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, outlaw Ike Clanton and Buckskin Frank Leslie. It has been said that the legacy of S.L. Hart as gunsmith to the cowboys, gamblers, lawmen, and gunfighters of Tombstone cannot be over estimated. Today a firearm with the "S.L. Hart" stamp is almost priceless. One Corona cabinet card features the photographer/studio name, "HILDRETH" at the right bottom border. The other Corona cabinet card features a man seated on a boulder in front of a tall saguaro with multiple arms. A saguaro cactus typically grows its first arm when it's between 50 to 100 years old, but this can vary depending on the specific location and the amount of precipitation it receives. In areas with lower rainfall, it can take even longer for a saguaro to develop arms. It is characterized by its thick, spiny, columnar stem, white night-blooming flowers, and edible red fruit, and is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. A Tombstone Western Heritage Museum label reads,"Photos owned by C. P. HART", museum code, "P-212". The "Hildreth" Corona cabinet card has gold gilt edging, the other card has painted red edging. Both cards are in well preserved condition, slight scuffing exhibited on edges, age tanning noted. Each measures 4"W x 8.25"L, combined weight is U6.
