Hart" tooled on the cover, with "The Hamley Kit / Pendleton Oregon" stamped to the bottom; a copy of Hart's book, Pinto Ben, co-authored with Mary Hart (New York: Britton Publishing Co., 1919), inscribed by Hart to his wife, Winifred Westover, "For / Winifred / From / Bill;" 2 handmade embroidered sashes/bookmarks adorned with flowers, leaves, and photographs of Hart, both monogrammed ("WSH" and "WMSH") in embroidery; a cloth copy of Told Under a White Oak Tree by Bill Hart's Pinto Pony (New York: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1922); a cloth copy of Injun and Whitey Strike Out for Themselves by William S.

Hart; an 11 x 14 in. vintage photograph of Hart selling liberty bonds; and 2 snapshots of Hart c.1936. William S. Hart was an American silent film actor, screenwriter, director and producer who focused his film career on producing and acting in realistic Westerns which accurately portrayed the image of the wild West. By the 1920s, this type of film lost favor with the public, who found the more exciting image of Tom Mix to their liking. When Paramount dropped Hart, he made one more film with United Artists, Tumbleweed (1925), which failed at the box office due to inadequate promotion. He sued UA and many years later won the case. Lunchbox: 10.5 x 11 x 4 in.
