Stewart's Best of the West

Best of the West (Large) Store Display

Manufactured in 1974 as part of the Quaker Oats Best of the West series this display shows 8 figures and 4 horses.

It measures approximately 38 inches wide, 27 inches tall and 17 inches deep and weighs about 45 lbs. It is constructed of wood and printed cardboard. This actual damaged (see below) display sold at a live auction in La Grange, IN on 18 Apr 09 for $935.00. Factor in the auction house buyers premium, this display was worth over $1000 to someone. The lowest price I heard one in complete condition being purchased for was close to $600. These represent the extremes in value. My estimate for a large display in complete, very good to excellent condition is $1000-$1200

These images are of a damaged display in Indiana. You should take note that some owner of this display actually cut about 12 inches off the top of the backer board. Perhaps to put it on a shorter shelf?	Figures were screwed onto the board or horse and heavy staples were used to secure the accessories	The Chief and Fighting Eagle figures were actually in the wrong spaces on the board when this picture was taken.

Here is another example of this display with the figures in the correct spots. And showing the correct height of the backer board.	Another shot of an uncut display showing the backer board without the BOTW title board	Back to the 'cut' one, here it is without the figures
The title board is held onto the backer board by a slot and tab arrangement	Here's the back of the cut one.	This is the back of an uncut backer board.
