Clothing
-
Vintage Western attire is a collectible gift that can be worn as well as displayed by the truly stylish enthusiast. Colorful Western-styled shirts, featuring the scalloped breast design and embroidered details, will be the rage at the square dance while a vintage leather-fringed coat can be hung on a hook for eye-catching home décor or worn daily with some dark jeans and boots.
Cowboy hats are also a favorite among vintage collectors. Old, well-worn cowboy hats add detail to Western home décor and can transport the viewer to dustier and wilder times.
Cowboy boots can be found in the vintage arena. Boots from the 1940s through the 1970s are aesthetically interesting and prized collectibles. Look for Nocona Boots with stitched details or Justin Brand to get the gift recipient started on a new addiction.
Vintage Western belt buckles are also highly collectible and are easy to display or wear. With motifs such as buffaloes, horses or cowboys, vintage belt buckles can be made out of pewter and sterling silver. Some feature stones like agate and turquoise.
Artwork
-
Vintage black-and-white or sepia Old West photographs make one-of-a-kind Western gifts that a vintage lover will cherish. Prints of classic Western paintings will add interest to any space. Prints of paintings by famous Western artist C.M. Russell really tell the tale of the Old West. Bronze sculptures of Old West-style images dress up a table or desk.

Horse Accessories
-
Vintage horse saddles, blankets, horseshoes and stirrups show off mid 1900s craftsmanship with detailed designs and good quality stitching. Unusual home décor or office accents, horse saddles can act as attention-getting ottomans while stirrups and blankets can dress walls or hang on coat racks for interest.
Home Décor
-
Vintage oil lamps, old flags, spurs, revolvers and rifles from the late 1800s all make interesting home décor items when hung on the wall, laid out on a bookshelf or occasional table or hung over a fireplace. Native American baskets and blankets also call to mind the Old West and can be very valuable especially when dated from the late 1800s. Chief blankets, which are especially collectible, command premium prices.
