Up for consideration is a fine hand carved model of a saddle by Western Artist William M. (1936-) The piece measures 24 inches in height and is in excellent untouched condition. It has an old brass plaque on the front and is signed on the bottom of the saddle. Likewise there is a card taped to the base and some literature that accompanies the piece. The piece sits on a stand and pivots around on a dowel as one can take the piece off or just spin it around. It really is quite a fascinating work of Art. It looks like it is leather but it is actually wood. Comes from a nice old estate and was kept very well in a humidity controlled smoke free environment. There looks like some old conches on the saddle as well as some leather strands. If you have any questions or something to share please feel free to contact me. B e s t R eg a rd s.

PHOTOS OF ACTUAL ITEM. Trout is full sized at 15 inches long. There has never been a more beautiful rainbow trout by Bill Reel than this one, Period! Deep yet vibrant colors in great detail and patina. The oversized heavy duty burl base is simply amazing by itself. One of the pelvic fins was broken off and missing. All other parts in perfect new condition. It does not show when displayed as it should be (as in the first photo). I believe the fin came off in or right after it left the shop due to the position of the wood grub screw, setting the fish too close to the top of the base. This did happen to some of the big sky trout carvings I have seen and this does not mean that the item was defective or inappropriately handled. It takes nothing away from how good this piece really is. NO PO BOX PLEASE!

PHOTOS OF ACTUAL ITEM. Trout is full sized at 15 inches long. There has never been a more beautiful rainbow trout by Bill Reel than this one, Period! Deep yet vibrant colors in great detail and patina. The oversized heavy duty burl base is simply a looker just by itself and I have never seen a nicer burl base either. I would pay a fortune for it if I need a base to mount a carving. One of the pelvic fins was broken off and missing. All other parts in perfect new condition. It does not show when displayed as it should be (as in the first photo).
