Sold for $575,000! What an American treasure.. her and the rifle.
They don't make 'em like that any more, great rifle too.
There until the end l thought you were selling Annie herself instead of her rifle. Lol
And it's every but as beautiful as she was. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Imagine that... Someone who found something they enjoyed and were good at, worked hard at it, became successful, and ultimately, a legend. Who'd have ever thought you could do that in America?
Thanks Annie, for being the American dream.
She got good at shooting because she needed to hunt to put food on the table. She is respected for being an elegant and decent woman.
Thank you for your passionate presentation. You gave a wonderful account of Annie Oakley as a person of quality, morality and god given skills.
Annie was seriously injured in a house fire later in her life. She survived, but suffered and her hair turned pure white. She kept shooting however and taught women how to shoot. She was a star and a hero. Her show was a delight.
I lived and worked in Greenville Ohio for a few years, close to where she was from. The post office is on the site of the grocery store where she would sell her game. She is of course the hero of the town and county. Statues, parks, and a museum in her honor.
My mom was raised in Brock. I was born at Wayne hospital in Greenville. 1979.
I would love to go there and pay my respects to that good woman.
@@ATINKERER they have the annie Oakley festival every year. Make sure you see the Garst Museum too. It's a MINDBLOWINGLY good museum.
@@joshuagibson2520 I think I heard about that. Didn't Bess Edwards have something to do with that?
To think there are still rifles out available like this one, amazing. Thanks for taking the time to show us. God bless.
Yeh...the Model 39A. I have one, 1946 vintage.
Annie was the best that ever was and ever will be.
They shoulda taken a trip to Mexico✌🏽
Agree. I do everything I can to keep her memory going with young people.
Don't forget Ed McGivern, James Butler Hickok, Jerry Miculek and others.
I live close to her grave and visit it often,also go to the museum near by that has several of her guns and personal items,she was remarkable.
Tim Sterrett- I live in Wisconsin but would like to plan a vacation where I could visit those places
You often visit the grave of someone you have never met, but was famous over 100 years ago, because they were good at trick shooting? You are a weirdo that I wouldn't allow to babysit my kids.
@@BatCaveOz Um, her trick shooting is not why she's still respected and admired after all these years.
@@bobbyhullfan1077I know this is probably a couple years too late, but she's buried in Brock cemetery close to Greenville, Ohio. There's also a museum near where she's buried that has a lot of her stuff called the National Annie Oakley center.
@oni_goroshi
No, your comment is not too late.
I'm always interested in any information regarding Annie.
I have an article written by a guy who went to her house to interview her in her latter years of life.
I've never seen mention of it on any other bibliography.
That magazine is squirreled away on my archives somewhere. I have a great collection of printed material, books and magazines. I worry what will become of it after I'm gone, particularly the magazines. We have an antique dealer in the country whose specialty it taking a razor knife to magazines, cutting out the Interesting ads, and tossing the rest in the garbage. This is not unlike the 1870s killing the Buffalo for their hides, in my opinion.
Sitting Bull gave her the nickname little sure shot
And adopted her, Annie
Annie Oakley. Stately, beautiful, and competent.
A true American.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks to this video...I’m taking my Marlin 39a out into the hills today for some shooting fun.
I got one of the last Marlins made in New Haven . . . had to finish off a lot of the internals . . . after seeing this, will keep taking care of it.
Love the squizzel engraving and the fact the plating hasnt been 'restored'. Not recently anyway
What a really great historical Marlin! Particularly wonderful as the factory presentation reads "To Little Sure Shot". Superb collector's rifle!
Nothing is cooler than history.
This is a wonderful and well-made tribute to the woman herself as well as a great look at the rifle in question. Thank you.
Great video, the famous train wreck Annie was involved in happened in Wheeling West Virginia .
Annie was a great outstanding woman of the west and that is a beautiful crafted rifle made for Annie Oakley
Now, that's a beautiful piece of classic American workmanship. Every bit of it, by hand!
Thanks for posting this video!
Most companies don't make firearms like that today however I worked for John Martz the Luger carbine maker from Lincoln, CA and I made the carbine stocks just like in the early 1900s. They can be seen on the Internet. It takes alot of hand work and precision fitting to make it work. This Marlin is fantastic.
I couldn't sell this piece if I owned it. Definitely needs to be in a museum. Great story.
Awesome lady and a beautiful rifle. Wouldn't that be an amazing piece to own!!!
Hope your talking about the rifle
An amazing rifle for an amazing woman
Absolutely beautiful presentation well done my young man. I just had my 1951 Marlin Model 39a re-blued and picked it up today it's absolutely my favorite gun I own, love it amazing piece of history
This sold for $575,000.
A bargain at any price.
He didn't say what caliber it was. A .22? A 30-30? What?
@@johnwilliamson2276 22 short, long, long rifle
I have a marlin 39a 1987. Best 22 I have ever owned.
What a class act for her time era !
She was a class act for any era.
She was also an advocate of women learning how to shoot and handle a gun safely. I was born , raised, and currently live in Greenville, Ohio.
Same here. Now Tn.
She was a great woman; elegant and religious.
Annie's rifle should be valued at $2.5 million dollars! At least! To own her own rifle.. which is a national treasure!
She is the kind of gal I married. My wife is not famous but seems of the same stock. Love Annie as she reminds me of my wife.
Thank you for this bit of history!
Annie was injured in the train wreck. She took time off to recover and recuperate.
My grand father was 103 years old when he passed away but he seen buffalo bills show when he was a kid he told me a bout it when I was a teenager
She was an elegant and decent woman.
I was born in Greenville Oh. My mother grew up in Brock. That's where Annie is buried.
For a little bit there at the beginning , I thought you were going to tell us about how she ran for office. She was an incredible marksman. Same level as Jerry Miculek today.
Better
She learned to shoot well before she was 15 years old. She was 15 when she outperformed her future husband at the competition.
Excellent! Well done top notch. ✌️👊
Girls nowadays look up to Oprah and Kim Kardashian when they should be looking up to a fine young lady that never said i can do what men do but just did it instead of saying it
Ironically, Annie Oakley's biggest rival was actually another markswoman, Lillian Smith. Unlike Oakley (who seems to have been a true young lady), Smith was a mouthy, cocky girl less than 20 who enjoyed flirting with men around her. She bragged for some time she would dethrone Oakley, only to lose to her in embarrassing fashion in a direct contest held in London IIRC.
Opra kim kardasian both suck
Amen, they could learn a thing or two from Annie here
Great video - nice presentation
Beautiful gal and the rifle isn’t too bad either, that gal could shoot like no other and there hasn’t been another like her up until Kirsten Joy Weiss.
Wow, what an amazing artifact!
Resembles a Marlin 39 rifle . I had the Marlin 39- A take down with a straight stock most of my kid years. Once stolen, but I got it back a year later.
Cool that you got it back. Hope the thief paid for his larceny!
It's so strange. My parents owned a Motel and we had a firehouse where I kept the rifle. It came back a year later laying on our couch when I came home from school. Stolen.
@@sr633 That is weird!
Reminder Set Ready n Roll 😎👍🏼😀😊
Why did she wear a star on her hat? What did it represent?
Awesome woman and amazing gun or vice versa 👍
Thanks
the rifle is engraved with a squirrel, the first animal she shot.
😮😨..
Poor squirrel 🐿️...
NEVER had a chance 😭
'American Experience' did an episode on her several years ago. You can probably still find the full episode at pbs.org . I live in Reno, NV.....& recently found one of her pistols, along with a pair of her tiny gloves......nicely framed & on display at the nearby Boomtown casino.
Excellent!
Great video!
5:17 Marlin 1891 slide action? Are you sure it wasn't a lever action?
What is the serial number ? We are having to destroy these in New Zealand . I have one to modify which has the early external magazine sleeve with serial number below 10,000 . New Zealand is making me sick with its fascist tactics .
Destroy them hell I would give it to him Barrel first
Destroy them? Send them to America, mate!
We'll 'destroy' them, all right- one shot at a time!
As much as Annie Oakley is Americana. Placed in American history. Why were her items being sold off and not in the Smithsonian or such a place.
Capitalism
There must be stuff of hers in the Buffalo Bill Museum, right?
Great tale
What caliber was the rifle?
.22
I Love It 😀😮😮😮😊👍🏼
You sould send this story to your local feminist group😁😁😁
YES A B S O L U T E L Y.......women, er, sorry i mean 'girls' never really mature anymore....just at an age, where they are still 9 or 10 yrs old.....in the psychie......not responsible, determined for their own 'being alive' and just floating along in life, seeking someone to 'worship' them. No direction, no need for a husband, most just want 'a baby' and are not remotely capable of managing, sustaining this relationship. Broken familes = a broken society, and nation. Look around, nothing to really make stable the society.....good day, Efi....
I would prefer the aforementioned 1891 slide action that she used in the show.
But it might not exist anymore.
I Love This A True American 🇺🇸
Wonder if she fired that rifle? I'm betting she did
It sold for $575,000
Imagine a gun fight with Annie not a good idea!!!!!!
The dime trick,look it up
Its weird the way the speaker wants to make her into some Feminist Suffragette when she was a very conservative person known to avidly read her Bible. Like anyone with a rare talent who ends up in entertainment she had an unusual life. Its only when women do uncommon things that "roles are being smashed" .... when men are no longer well diggers or farmers they simply "escaped the drudgery" rather than shatter roles.
Annie: even though in the entertainment world was known to avoid the drinking and parties and preferred her tent to read which often included the bible. Had she never picked up a gun, she would have lived a life as every woman did at the time, perhaps teaching Sunday school and helping a husband manage a farm as most people did.
Actually, we try to show she was both. She was against suffrage, dressed extremely conservatively, was a teetotaler, and read her Bible. She also shot a gun, was a primary breadwinner, hunted, and advocated equal pay for women. Her various dichotomies are what make her such a compelling subject of American history.
@@RockIslandAuctionCompany : And you did an absolutely outstanding job! Sir, your presentation was the equal of any I've seen by the most knowledgeable docents at the world's best museums - even if you only read it from a teleprompter. Mrs. Butler would have thanked you proudly. What a privilege it must have been to handle such an exquisite piece of history. Kudos to you!
She lived with Mr. And Mrs. Wolf = The Wolves. Clever.
Tbh probably a solid investment if you could afford it
not gold, it's made of solid unobtainium.
I had never seen that ancient footage of her performing. IF that was her!
It was indeed. She had met Thomas Edison during the 1889 Exposition (commemorating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution). She was performing with Buffalo Bill's show and Edison was displaying his phonograph. That fall, Edison invited her to come test his "kinetograph" - an early version of a movie camera. The film shown here is the result and it was shown on kinetoscopes to customers who paid one nickel. The parlors that housed these popular kinetoscopes? Nickelodeons.
I want one
Oh my!!
Nothing about the rifle until almost the 5:00 mark

🦾👀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
5:10 Looks like she missed more than she hit.
She has a steadiness in her eyes.
I read she never looked a person in the eye
She had steadiness in her soul.
Yall talk too much. Here's the gun ,a brief summary of the gun and what it sold for. I don't need a history lesson
No one really wanted to read your long winded comment, yet here we are.
I find it amazing that mankind thought it was necessary to develop firearms beyond the lever action or the single action colt, it seems to me that they were fairly efficient reliable firearms certainly efficient enough to kill. People.
They all project bullets. Where these bullets go and what they do is up to the one firing the piece.
Yeah, I can't believe we have cars and planes. Horses are clearly good enough. 🙄
A true original feminist 😊👍
Not quite.
Why did she choose the Marlin over the Winchester?
I think Marlin chose her!
Not enough time spent on the rifle and to much time spent on her history and we already know that!
The difference between being a lady and just being a woman, Annie was a lady.
HMMM I wonder why the feminists never talk about her? Oh right she liked GUNS.
