Terra Incognita

Invaluable Seller since 2016

Mr. Baldwin began his trading career for fun. While in college he was a collector and exhibited at a few shows per year. His first professional successes came as a commodities futures trader at the Chicago Board of Trade. Trading live with hand signals in the Dow Jones futures pit for over three years. He has worked at all of the major exchanges here in Chicago and some indirectly with New York (the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, The Chicago Board Options Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade). High dollar transactions and taking care of money is old hat for Mr. Baldwin. All transactions will be handled with discreet professional care, courtesy and honesty with the customer in mind every step of the way.

Mr. Baldwin was voted by his peers; to the post of Secretary/Treasurer for the Antique Bowie Knife Association (ABKA). He then was asked to take on the responsibility of President of the ABKA. Upon completing his term as President he took over and is currently the editor for the ABKA journal. He is a life member of the board of directors for the ABKA. He exhibits at about 35 or 40 venues each year. Native American Fine Art, Knife, Decoy and Sporting Art and Antique Gun shows/expositions make up most of our show schedule.

A few of our goals are to use our experience, contacts and knowledge to help provide a more liquid market place and make available to the discreet connoisseur/collector the highest quality of art forms and antiques (antique arms included). If we don't have it, we know where it can be obtained. Our success rate is very high when charged with securing the rare unobtainable items. Call today to discuss your wants, needs, & interests. You will get quality items at fair prices, many times with historical significance, but most important THEY WILL BE REAL. We take great pride in serving the high-end collector; rest assured your contact information and dealings will be handled with utmost care and discreetness. That's another part of our business name that has a double connotation...Incognito, both for me and you. Email or Call today.

Our inventory consists of fine Native American antiquities, cowboy items (leather, boots), sporting art and fine paintings and flat work. Duck decoys, and Zuni art. The record for a single decoy at auction is now over 1 million. Native American antiquities from 1820 thru the Civil War remain our specialty. We focus on pre 1950 & pre 1900 items, but also trade items up to present day. We usually have a nice selection of pre 1890 beadwork, concentrating on the Indian wars period. We also like to have on hand early Native American pottery, turquoise and silver jewelry and carvings/fetishes. We love Zuni pottery, jewelry and inlay along with other fine art from selected pueblos. From time to time we get a good ANTIQUE Colt single action, Winchester, or Remington, but more often we concentrate on Plains and fur trade percussions and flint-locks. As you can see we have a varied interest but always classic.

We also usually have a great selection of related eclectic items. We exhibit at 35 to 40 shows or events per year, therefore our inventory turns over rather quickly. Check back often, if you don't see something for you then go ahead and ask. We may have it, just not posted yet.

There remains huge potential in many collecting areas, we take pride in finding value in the best items with exceptional quality or rareness and what I call WOW factor. We also have on hand and have bought and sold items that are significant American treasures. Contact us today with your interests and/or to discuss acquisitions or help in building a collection. If we don't have something on hand, we can find (or possibly already know) where it is. Yes, I can (find it), is big part of my vocabulary. We have contacts in just about every state of the Union and in Canada, France and England. Contact us today.
