What else is in your trophy room?

[PARA45]

@0002S, I think I've said it before, I like the wood blocks with the arrows, empty cases and bullets with the pictures of the animals taken. Nicely done!

I'm loving everything I'm seeing! Keep the photos coming!

I like the picture of the black lab with the wood duck!

That was a fairly cheap print. Unlimited run. Used to be a lot of those floating around on the net. Google Lab retriever prints and you may still be able to find one. The oval matte came off the shelf at a big box crafts store. Worked beautifully. The limited edition pheasant and standing goose prints were picked up on line and framed locally. The two trout prints on both sides of the grouse print are pages removed from a 1913 US Dept of Fisheries annual report. An antique vendor stripped them but I verified their origin in a volume in our local university library. The raibow trout print came framed from a fly shop in Minnesota. Local artist.

I forgot something. This is my dad's fly reel and his dad's fly rod. Hangs over the front door.

And this is Dad's fishing creel and lure box. My daughter did the taxidermy work. I made the lamp.

Can't say that I have heard of them.

He is partner of a Co. that provides funding to worldwide oilfield contractors and I believe she is some sort of lobbyist...Great people! My son and I, against the grain, would stalk around their 1200 ac for whitetails. But now, I'll take shooting house early/late for $500, Alex.

Welcome to my humble abode. The management springbuck "dink" next to the mirror will be replaced by this year's much better specimen ... when it gets here ... next year.

My Great Grandparents' house was inherited by my Parents and they have a pump organ that looks like the predecessor to your upright piano!! It still works. I recall walking by an antique shop otw home from elem school and seeing a grandfather clock just like the one at home....I get home, my Dad proudly tells me he got a new tractor, I don't see the clock and my Mom proceeds to flip her lid on him!!! LOL Good times. (i even recall the prices: Clock $4,400. Tractor $4,000.) LOL

I rebuilt that 1905 Fisher Co. (NYC) piano. It was the first of many. I salvaged it from a church basement. When I removed the keys to level the key bed and replace felt, I discovered a US 1905 nickel under middle C. Presumably put there by one of the ladies who worked at the factory. Putting piano guts together was one of the very few skilled factory jobs available to women in those days. Ladies were preferred because their fingers were thinner and more nimble. Better suited for fine work.

My late wife played it. Her picture and our late son's hang at the end of the piano.

How about Winchesters and Headdress…Half my “Camp” is African animals and artifacts, the other half North American.

Elk and Mullies above the whitetail.

Here's another for sale. made in Detroit & Chicago. My G. Grandfather who originally owned the house was the first to take me hunting at age 3 (and I was hooked!) Dad didn't sell any of the keyboards as he played pretty well. lol I can just pic him stuffing a grandfather clock, sideways, into a station wagon...smh

sry I was interrupted by Fedex handing me a check. "sorry." lol He flew Comanches (or w/ a group called the same name?) in 'nam and his dad fighter planes in WWII. I don't recall all the memorabilia, but one featured in his office is a stained flag worn by a pilot just about to complete his kamikaze mission. I'm not certain which is more amazing, the trophies or the collection!?

Some of the random things we have in our trophy rooms is so interesting.

The mantle clock on the shelf in my office picture is a Pequegnat Clock Co., Barry Model. It was my great grandmother’s. The Royal Ontario Museum has a complete collection of Pequegnat Clocks, other than the Barry model.

 

[Hunting Hitman]

HunterHitman, can we see more of those mule deer.

Flipper here is a map for you View attachment 556918

Middle one goes 235 1/4

[Altitude sickness]

Whoa !!! Where are they from

 

[Rimbaud]

We have just moved, and most everything is in storage as we will build this house. All the great trophy room pictures inspired me to want to share something that is etched into the lobby of the American Natural History Museum in NY. I doubt very many visitors even take notice of the meaning, and even more likely disagree, but I think it may resonate here.

 

[0002S]

I think the correct answer to that question is always...

"one too few"....

There is a secret squirrel room and a reason why so many dies.

 

[Hunting Hitman]

Whoa !!! Where are they from

Flipper here is a map for View attachment 556918

Now that is a cool map. Good size too. I have a similar map in my office of the original Texas, when we owned most of Colorado. Hell, what I’m I saying? We still own most of Colorado!

i've stated this on here long ago somewhere, but my mom's fam came from England in the 1700s...they fought the Revolutionary war (and every major one thereafter) and kept journals of daily life (including hunting) and wartime, and are quite fond of handing things down. I inherited 2 muzzleloaders (1 was a smoothbore shotgun created by drilling out a worn out barrel, the other a fine rifle. Both were shot so much for survival that the actions were from London (Bell) and the barrels from PA with the gunsmith's name on 'em! Wilkes-Barre i don't recall the name.) Anyway, sad story after all the (extinct due to commerical hunting) elk, mtn lion et. al. hunting (my grandmother gave me the guns and the mtn lion hide featured in a journal story) I got divorced long ago at a young age and had to part with one (i gave up the cracked by dry heat stocked, drilled out smoothbore, with which I was able to pay my bill off!) The other I'll never part with and it hangs in my livingroom below a pic of my ancestors in their hunting cabin-property still in the family today, as well as a deer my Great Grandfather got with the gun when i was just 3.) Priceless! I may take the rifle to Dixon's in PA to get an assessment and tune-up, so that I may take just one more deer with it and put it away forever, for my son. Friends are egging me on to do so...'Hard to believe our history is about as long as it gets in this country, but in others, it's nothing!

It's what they worked so hard to create, preserve and protect that I take severe objection to what's happening in this country today. Big Swamp, Big Corporations and International Sponsors are ruining this Great thing, but primarily the 1st and the last...

show a pic when you get a chance. we had smaller, bookshelf windup clocks too but one (ancestors cursing me now...it was so dried out from being on mantels that it fell apart-i just used it as starter wood one cold eve!) lol it looked like a Cathedral w/ pointy spires atop...like a mini-grandfather clock. table top version.
