Need old pictures of cowboy toys (I think) or some 1940's Grand Canyonesque artwork

When you're in kitschy (sp?) places and they have old cowboy toy guns, hobby horses etc .. for a time there, there was a style of line drawing of hats, guns, horses & lassos .. I think sometimes they were stamped in leather, or else drwan with really wide lines - simple illustrations..

I need to find some examples ...

This is as close as I could find:

...but it's not really what I'm looking for. There's too much detail in the drawing ...

I still haven't quite seen it. Think of wide-lined drawings. Dark brown ink on light brown leather.. 1940 Grand Canyon ...
