Coppia di speroni California Buermann Hercules in bronzo antico del 1900 con marchio a stella.Questi sono realizzati in lega speciale "Hercules Bronze" inventata da August Buermann. Questi speroni risalgono a prima del 1914 con il marchio Buermann Star, datandoli prima che fossero acquistati realizzato da North & Judd nel 1914. 5" di lunghezza x 3" di larghezza interna al tallone. Come trovato senza danniGli Spurs Buermann sono uno dei modelli più famosi e ricercati di uno dei produttori più famosi nella storia dei Cowboy Spur .Può essere considerato anche un buon uomo d'affari, poiché ha soddisfatto l'esigenza di creare molti tipi diversi di speroni e anche di brevettare in modo aggressivo i suoi marchi/loghi e disegni. Qualunque sia il tipo o lo stile necessario, Buermann è stato il primo per farsi avanti e crearli.Storia.August Buermann nacque in Germania nel 1842 ma in seguito si recò negli Stati Uniti dopo aver svolto il suo apprendistato come forgiatore di serrature.Dopo essersi arruolato nell'esercito invece all'età di 22 anni iniziò a realizzare speroni per civili e militari e Buermann creò l'ormai famigerato StarBrand che adorna i suoi modelli e le sue creazioni. L'azienda era cresciuta fino ad avere oltre 100 dipendenti prima della fine del secolo.All'inizio del 1900, la maggior parte dei militari indossava speroni per talloni August e anche gli ufficiali dell'esercito avevano il diritto di indossare catene per talloni e venivano tutti acquistati privatamente da Buermann.August ebbe anche un figlio, August Jr, che gli succedette nella gestione dell'azienda quando andò in pensione nel 1896.  August Jr era anche un buon uomo d'affari come suo padre ma, nel 1914, il nome e il design Buermann furono acquistati da North e Judd, una grande azienda di hardware affermata. Il famigerato StarBrand dello sperone di avvio Buermann non esisteva più e fu sostituito dal marchio di ancoraggio North e Judd.August Jr si ritirò.Anche il nome Buermann non è esente da alcune (leggere) controversie. Una volta che altri noti produttori iniziarono a farsi strada nell'attività consolidata, vendendo nuovi stili di speroni che erano popolari, Buermann fu accusato di fare copie di questi modelli. Fino al punto in cui fu accusato di aver preso copie delle immagini dai cataloghi di altre aziende per uso personale.A quel tempo, si vedeva che l'azienda si allontanava sempre più dai suoi clienti, ramificandosi e modernizzandosi a livello un ritmo veloce. Altre aziende come McChesney o Crockett erano più vicine ai propri clienti e Buermann stava cercando di recuperare terreno.Materiali.Come molti altri produttori di speroni, la maggior parte di questi speroni è realizzata in ottone massiccio o ferro. Tuttavia, Buermann ha inventato anche 2 tipi di metallo da utilizzare, noti come "Star Steel Silver" e "Hercules Bronze".Dove venivano utilizzati questi metalli, il nome del metallo era anche stampato su ogni pezzo.In effetti , i prodotti che venivano realizzati nella sua moderna fabbrica in Jelliff Avenue erano così buoni, che riuscì a vincere alcuni premi di eccellenza. La Centenial Commission di Filadelfia ha conferito numerosi premi per diversi prodotti in diverse categorie e lo Star Brand ha vinto premi anche alla Fiera di St Louis nel 1904.tw154

I suoi occhi intensi e il naso acuto rivelano che questo cane è un campione nel campo. Le sue sculture vanno oltre il realismo, per catturare anche l'atmosfera.

Malcolm Furlow Cut Steel 3 Dimensional Pop Art Sculpture of Native American Man.<br>Measures 21.5" tall x 17.5"wide x 8" deep with , weighs 20 pounds. Fresh from a<br>local estate along with a painting on canvas by the same artist. Guaranteed<br>authentic. This had to be extremely labor intensive and would stand out<br>anywhere, he did do much of this type of work. Malcolm Attended University of<br>Texas here in Austin and Studied art. This piece came from Austin, I believe it<br>is one of his earlier pieces when he was still trying to figure out what<br>direction to take his career, obciously it is super cool.<br><br>The comes out and will be removed for shipping. The paint is very sturdy, I<br>believe it is a special metal paint similar to auto paint but it will be well<br>wrapped to prevent abrasion or wear during transportation.<br><br>Taos resident, Malcolm Furlow, an award winning painter, hasn't always been an<br>artist. As a young man he received a track scholarship to the University of<br>Texas and decided to choose art as his major. Unfortunately, his art professor<br>disapproved of his style of painting and a disappointed Furlow left college to<br>become a rock and roll musician. For 18 years he played the sax, bass and<br>sometimes the guitar, playing back up for such notable groups and soloists as<br>the Beach Boys and Lou Rawls.<br><br>Leaving his music career behind, Furlow used his artistic talent to construct<br>models for movie sets at Walt Disney Studios. He also delved into photography,<br>writing a book for Kodak, called Close-Up Photography, that explained the best<br>way to photograph miniatures, especially models. But, in 1987 after hearing<br>scholar Joseph Campbell's words "Follow Your Bliss," Furlow decided to go back<br>to his first love, painting.<br><br>Furlow began drawing American Indians at the age of six, when his father had<br>Malcolm accompany him on business trips throughout New Mexico. Beginning with<br>watercolors, Furlow realized the medium was ill suited for large canvases and<br>switched to brightly colored acrylic images of Native Americans. In all his<br>works, Furlow strives to show his deep admiration and respect for his Choctaw<br>heritage.<br><br>About his subject matter and painting style, Furlow has said, "I knew I wanted<br>to say it with color because that's the emotion of it. I've got to make the<br>viewer feel what I feel . All I'm trying to do is paint them as they are - paint<br>their culture, their dignity and their stature . I didn't want to do portraits<br>of Indians, I wanted to say something about the human condition." He paints two<br>worlds: the Native American and their place in the Anglo World. In addition,<br>Furlow rides and decorates motorcycles.<br><br>A recently filmed documentary entitled the "Life and Art of Malcolm Furlow,<br>"refers to him as a "Renaissance Man": the quintessential cowboy, musician, and<br>intellectual artist. He is an award-winning painter, whose accolades include the<br>Silver award from the Sorbonne, and the highly coveted Gold Award from the<br>world-renown Luxembourg Museum, Paris. PBS featured him in a documentary called<br>"The Life and Art of Malcolm Furlow", he was also awarded the Gold Award from<br>the Luxembourg in Paris (an honor shared with Pablo Picasso)<br><br>As of spring 2007, Furlow has "sold-out" over fifty solo shows. Malcolm Furlow's<br>paintings command principal placement in exhibitions, philanthropist campaigns,<br>and private collections around the world, including the U.S. Embassies of<br>Morocco, Belgium and Beijing; the White House; CEO Magazine; The Smithsonian;<br>Mobil Oil; Arnold Schwarzenegger; Samuel Goldwyn; Richard Pryor; Presidents<br>George H.W.

He has written several<br>"How-To" books for Kodak photograghy, worked as a photogragher for Italian Vouge<br>. Malcolm has also written several "How-To" books for Model Railroading.

George Boutwell Texas Hill country Pastoral Farmhouse watercolor. 17" x 16" framed, 9.75" x 8" sight. No issues with painting, slight wear to frame. Great painting by a listed Texas artist, much better in person.Born in East Hartford, Connecticut, in 1943. After his Mothers untimely death in 1945, he and his father traveled around the country and by the time he started the First Grade in San Antonio, Texas, they had lived in Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, New York, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, California and Texas. George spent most of his life in Austin and moved to Bosque County in 1987 where he and his wife Martha live on a ranch near Clifton, in a 1904 Victorian home known as Highview, which is set on the crest of a hill overlooking the Bosque River Valley. The Boutwell's have two daughters: Valerie 49, and Kimberlee 47, two grandsons: Josh 19 and Brady 16 and one Granddaughter, Kaylee 13. Hobbies and interests include Historic Preservation, Old Cars, fossil and observation of wildlife and Longhorn Cattle.George was Art Director for Texas Highways Magazine from 1966 to 1972 and became aware of the diversity of Texas during that time and this awareness has become the focus of his life's work. George has refused to specialize in one Genre of Art and only limits the scope of his work to Texas. He has been able to make his living exclusively from his Art for 40 Years!The Boutwell's former home in Austin won a 1983 Austin Heritage Society Award which was presented at the Governor’s Mansion. George was an appointed member of the Austin Historic Landmark Commission from 1982 to 1985.Professional BackgroundArt Training:Self-taught. George was too poor to afford Art Lessons and due to his failing half a year of High School because he was sitting in class drawing cars instead of studying his grades were not sufficient to enter College. He read every Art book he could find in the Public Library and practiced continually, doing 100 sketches per day for one year! When he was finally able to afford Art Lessons it was because he had become a full time Professional Commercial Artist and had some disposable income for the first time in his life. George took a correspondence course in Fine Art from the Famous Artist School which helped him make the transition from Commercial to Fine Art in 1973.anderas

1935 Ft Worth Texas Folk Art Order of the Eastern Star LFATA OES Campaign Miniature chair pin cushion. In many ways this is one of the coolest items I've ever had.

Also interestingly 1936 was Texas centennial so that's cool also.

It is a member of the Masonic family, but joining does not make a member a mason. It’s more of an axillary group, that supports masonic lodges, masonic youth organizations, as well as their own agenda. Like all Masonic organizations, they support membership when in need, both financially and emotionally. They also provide a framework for introspective thought and philosophical discussion on ethical and spiritual topics.isshelf

Alabama "Feels So Right" Presentation Record framed Given to Tom Middleton. I have not examined this outside of the frame but I acquired it from Tom Middleton's(1953-2020) estate personally along with about 400 pairs of cowboy boots and everything cowboy imaginable. Selling this, what I assume to be a record that was framed and given by Alabama for the work tom did for the album. 19.5" x 21.5" framed, 12" x 12" sight. 5.5" wide plaque.In 1973, Tom found a catalog of instruments from Warehouse Music Sales in Fort Worth that contained multiple dobros. He sold his two guitars and used the funds to buy his first dobro. After it arrived, his life was never quite the same. If you ever had the pleasure to hear him play, you saw Tom doing what he loved.Before making his way to Arizona to continue his education, Tom worked as a towboat deckhand for the United Maritime Union on the Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny Rivers. Tom received a BS in English Literature from Northern Arizona University. During his time in Flagstaff, he was a member of the Mormon Lake Hotshots on the Coconino National Forest. Bill Mack's "All Night Open Road" show from WBAP in Dallas kept him company at the Mormon Lake Guard Station. He became lifelong friends with several of his fellow firefighters and kept in contact with them the rest of his life.But music kept calling, and Tom began working for R.Q. Jones Resophonic Guitar Company in Wanette, Oklahoma. Now he wasn't just playing dobros, he was making them. In fact, he made one for a young dobro player named Jerry Douglas who is now widely regarded as "the" dobro player of our time. The dobro in question now belongs to the Music Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Jerry and Tom became good friends and whenever Jerry toured through Austin in recent years, they would take in some live music together at Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon among other music venues.In 1978, Tom went to work for Peaches Records and Tapes in Oklahoma City, then The Handleman Company, and finally Pickwick Distribution Company in Dallas. These three jobs showed Tom the buying, selling, and distribution side of the music business. By 1985, Tom was working as a Print Production Manager at The Richards Group, an advertising agency in Dallas. He excelled at print production and would stay with it in Austin at both GSD&M and McGarrah Jessee from which he retired after 24 years shortly before his death.Tom's work in print production should not go unrecognized. There is no doubt that countless times you've seen ads, packaging, and products that he produced – you just didn't know it. He had a wealth of experience and knowledge and was always keen to share what he knew with young producers and creative types. When Tom retired, his coworkers, vendors, suppliers,
