Old West Pioneer Folk Art Chalkware Wagon Train Wall Plaque
This wonderful folk art chalkware or plaster wall hanging came from a local Mormon Utah estate. It depicts a family of Mormon pioneers (or at least it is assumed they are Mormons) crossing the mountains in their covered wagons. One wagon with oxen and family members are depicted in high relief in the foreground, and you can make out other covered wagons and horses in the background.
The plaque is 16-1/4" wide by 8-12" high, all hand formed and detailed, not mold-poured. The paint is somewhat worn at the high points, mainly the leaves of the trees. There are some insignificant minor scratches and rubs, and a couple of shallow flakes or chips at the very top edge. The only noticeable chip is a 1/4" by 3/8" flake along the right edge, visible in the first and last photos. There is considerable age patina to the paint.
This interesting piece of old West Mormon folk art dates to at least the 1930s, if not earlier.
Circa: 1930s

Anchor Hocking Howdy Wrangler Royal Ruby Western Cowboy Water Tumblers, 5 Available
These 1950s Anchor Hocking Royal Ruby drinking glasses have a very unusual and scarce Western cowboy design screened on the fronts. A cowboy on a rearing horse throws out a rope lasso which spells out the words Howdy Wrangler in script. Upon purchasing these five a number of years ago, I've actively tried to find more and have never come across them again.
The tumblers are 4-3/4" tall and hold 12 ounces. The graphics are crisp and bright and the glass is in excellent condition with no chips, flakes, scratches or cloudiness. Five are available, price is per tumbler.
Circa: 1950s
