  • Description:
    Tom Mix (1880 – 1940) was Hollywood’s first leading Western movie star and is considered to have defined the genre for all Western film actors who followed. At various times he was under contract with Selig, Fox, Film Booking Office, Universal and Mascot. Tom’s repertoire extended beyond the screen to include the production, writing and directing of hundreds of films during a 26-year career from 1909 to 1935. In 1918, Tom married fellow Western movie star Victoria Forde (his fourth wife). They had worked together on a number of films and began a love affair, Victoria starred in 170 films during her career and her jewellery collection at the time was second only to Cecil B. deMille. Mix and Forde had one daughter, Thomasina Mix, in 1922. Following the birth of their daughter, Victoria retired from the film industry. In 1940, Tom died tragically in an automobile accident. His estate was split between his wife at the time of his death, Mabel Hubble Ward, and Thomasina.

    The first nine lots are items of jewellery owned and worn by Victoria Forde during her time with Tom, They have been passed down Thomasina’s family through descent.
