Brian Cowdery Revisited

Brian Cowdery Revisited
    I've been blogging for a while now, and some posts and the people that I write about stand out. Of course, every one of my posts had been most endearing to me, and I thank all of the people who have me with my pastime. 
    Mr. Brian Cowdery is a master "artist". He's worked with metal since his teens, and his journey in life led him to become a fine and renowned "toy-maker", but more so as an artist. His works are often quite endearing, and they create a good feeling when you view them. And so, I decided to once again add another blog post about Brian.
      
Brian is always searching for new ideas in order to create new masterpieces.
I screen-captured part of a page for one of his very interesting toys. The image below illustrates a short history as to how Brian came to create that bus. 
The images within the screen-capture show part of the process that is involved in constructing one of his toys. There most-certainly is a lot of work and hours that go into the development and construction of each and every "piece of art".
Needless to say, Brian's creations are very collectable. 







If you copy and paste the address in your browser, you
will be redirected to Brian's website. There's is a lot to see, and it's 
very interesting.

So that's it for today.
As always, have a great part of the day or night
wherever you may be.

        Because I've cut down in writing on my blog, I don't go to view the data (e.g. reader numbers) or comments. Last week, I did decide to check the data, and as a change, I decided to read the comments.  
Someone commented on June 22, 2022 that they would be having a future upcoming auction on June 23, 2022. That comment peaked my interest, and so I decided to answer the comment, and that's how I got to meet Mr. Wylie Stivers, one of the owners of Toys Trains and Other Old Stuff. Christine Stivers is the other owner of this interesting company.

You can also go to LiveAuctioneers, where this auction takes place:

I decided to select other items for sale that were not toys. I mostly write about about old and antique toys, but I occasionally like to see other items that are being sold. 

Now if I just had saved those bubble gum cards when I was a kid from 60 years ago!!!!!!

Thanks for dropping by,
And as always,
Have a great part of the day or night,
wherever you may be.
