Not from February, but did recently pick up something I always wanted -- this old wood/bat lathe.

Great statue Bob -

Here is Walter and U. Dunbar as The Big Train approves his likeness.

Picked up this photograph in trade on the weekend. Would appreciate help dating it - c.1900 is what I am thinking.

Not attributed to the ribbon I already had but a nice companion piece nonetheless.

Great photo to tie to the Johnson statue Chris!

Yes, thank you very much Chris, I do appreciate the photo, I apologize for not mentioning it first. Here are the photos that I have, they are a mix of original photos and copies of copies.

Hey, Chris: I have an Associated News Service poster with that image dated Oct. 27, 1924.

Bob: The article that accompanied the picture of the bunch of them said that a total of 50 were produced. I've always assumed they were sold to defray the cost of Dunbar's work when the big statue never got authorized.

Clint: I think the red "W" was painted on after the fact, I've only seen the one like that.

That’s an incredible statue Bob! Great to know that another one has surfaced. The details are amazing and unlike so many others the likeness is perfect.
