Art Appreciation
 

Just thought these might strike a nostalgic chord

A few more.

Only a few days left...

Maybe the PGCA can use a replica of Frank Woolner's custom cut down Winchester Model 59 as a raffle gun...I can't help but think of Frank everytime I cast for a striper or blue...one of my childhood outdoor magazine heros sort of like a Northeastern Jack O'Connor...

Did Lynn Bogue Hunt have a home, offices, or studio in The Bronx? I have a Parker order copy for a "Lynn Hunt, Bronx, New York" in my files. Was this Lynn Bogue Hunt? It is hard to sift through google entries for LBH because there are so many pages. Help.

He lived in Chicago and had a studio there but he's buried in the Bronx with his parents. I wonder if he is a 'junior'? Was his father's name Lynn also?

I have a book on LBH at home. If I recall, he was from Albion, NY near Buffalo and after living in Detroit for awhile moved to New York City to work for F&S and lived in the area for most of his life. He was a frequent guest of his buddy, Van Campen Heilner at the PGC.

All great artists whose work is timeless
 

:Lynn Bogue Hunt, Edmund Osthaus, Milton Pleissner, Chet Reneson, William Bishop, Roland Clark. One might infer from Mr. Murphy's fine research re the Parker in 1931 ordered by LBH at over $300 that the Big Crash of 1929 didn't hit everyone with the same sledge-hammer blow. Grade 7- that would be a AAHE- any more details besides the sn from Mr. Murphy's research- ordered for hunting grouse, or a duck gun perhaps??

This past June, visiting one of my sisters out East (Dover DE) we went to the RCA Victor museum- wonder about Mr. Middleton- CEO back then and his Invincible 16- took delivery sometime in September 1929- apparently stored:nono: it unfired in the case in a closet- I don't know what the open bird seasons were in NJ and DE back in 1929, but I know this- if I had bought s special order Parker (or Fox or Ithaca or LC Smith) as soon as I had it in my hands, I'd want to shoot it, if even just on clays--:nono:???
