a stash of andy anderson carvings

[robert a kren]

Awhile back I bought a collection of ANDY carvings which had been in storage for over 50 years. There are seven icluding the hound dog. At the time I was familiar with Gene Zesch's work and did not really know about Andy. Since then I bought a copy of his book on woodcarving and read all about him. These carvings were owned by a famous person who collected a lot of western memorabilia. Each is very different and they all have the bowlegged look that made him famous. I intend to sell them privately and am posting this info just to get it out there for someone who may have been looking for a long time to garner a collection which is near impossible to do at this point in time. Any feedback is welcome Bob Kren

Hmmmmm... they didn't come through.


Well, they do now... must have been a hicup in the interweb.

Hi Wanda, These carvings are really something up close as they are incredibly funny. They are all a little different and the expression on the shooter is very real with thesquinting and all. They have quite a history as well. At some point I hope to post some of the original 1940' photos that were taken by the original owner. Bob

I'm sure no authority on Anderson but I sure enjoyed the photos. Thanks. Hope we see more.

I'd say you've got the start of a nice collection. Cherish them.
