Frederic Remington “The Rattlesnake” Monumental Sized Bronze Floor Statue!!!

Description

PLEASE READ!
Hello!
THANKS FOR VIEWING MY AUCTION or SALE. BE SURE TO LOOK AT MY OTHER CURRENT AUCTIONS / SALES FOR MORE GREAT ITEMS.
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
THIS IS A VERY RARE & SPECTACULAR “MONUMENTAL SIZE” FLOOR MODEL STATUE. THIS IS A "FREDERIC REMINGTON CAST AFTER REMINGTON".
NICE FOYER DISPLAY PIECE WHEN PEOPLE ENTER YOUR HOME, OR GOOD FOR A 'MAN CAVE' TOO. IT IS NOT KNOWN WHO MADE THIS PARTICULAR ONE BUT IT IS A COPY OF HIS ORIGINAL SMALL TABLE TOP MODEL, JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER PIECES IN THE WORLD THAT HAVE BEEN COPIED AND REPRODUCED.
ACCORDING TO THE REMINGTON MUSEUM, ONLY THE BRONZE "BRONCO BUSTER" WAS MADE BY REMINGTON IN A LARGE CASTING LIKE THIS 'RATTLESNAKE' CASTING.
ALL 'AUTHENTIC' VINTAGE ORIGINALS FROM REMINGTON CASTS INCLUDED A FOUNDRY'S MARK CLEARLY CAST INTO THE BRONZE BASE, AND WERE SOMETIMES NUMBERED UNDER THE BRONZE BASE WITH A (1, 2, 3, or 4) ETC., DEPENDING ON HOW MANY WERE REQUESTED.
EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE TYPICAL 'FREDERIC REMINGTON' TABLE MODEL SCULPTURES, BUT MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THE VERY FEW LESSOR KNOWN HUMAN FIGURAL LARGER AUTHENTIC REMINGTONS THAT HE MADE DURING HIS LIFETIME UP UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1909, AND BEFORE HIS WIFES DEATH IN 1918 WHEN ALL HIS MOLDS WERE DESTROYED.
MOST ALL REMINGTON STATUES BOUGHT AND SOLD TODAY ARE ALL NEW MOLD CAST REPRODUCTIONS THAT ARE WITHOUT THE FOUNDRY'S MARK CLEARLY CAST INTO THE BRONZE BASE.
THE BRONZE STATUE FROM BASE TO HAT IS APPROXIMATELY 4FT. TALL & APPROX. 40” WIDE FROM TAIL TO CURVED HEAD. The base measures approximately 20” x 32” and the best approximate weight I can offer is “this thing is pretty heavy” or according to similar listings about 500 lbs.
ITEM CONDITION:
This statue is in immaculate condition with no scratches or dings. Perfect for displaying anywhere.
