More than three decades ago, before he started running shows and auctions, Brian Lebel founded "Old West Antiques" in Cody, Wyoming, a Western antiques gallery upstairs from the Proud Cut Saloon, and just down the street from Buffalo Bill Cody's Irma Hotel. Today, Lebel's Old West Antiques is located in Greensboro, GA and specializes in private sales, acquisitions and appraisals of fine art and artifacts from the American West. More information can be found below.
