Old West Mining Items

Cisco’s Gallery offers a collection of antique mining and Gold Rush artifacts associated with the mining camps, boomtowns and prospectors of the American West. The collection includes gold pans, assay and gold scales, strongboxes, mining tools and other equipment used in the search for and handling of gold, silver and other valuable minerals. Dating primarily from the 19th and early 20th centuries, these objects document the working material culture of Western mining and the communities that developed around it.
