C M Russel
I purchased 2- 11"X 16" and 2- 10"X 14" (approx.) framed pictures at a yard sale. The lady that I bought them from told me she got them custom framed for her husband and paid over $300 to get the frames custom made. They are gorgeous frames. The artist is C M Russell. The 1 larger one is 2 cowboys on horses herding a long line of cattle. The other larger one is a herd of buffalo coming out of the water with 2 antelope. The 1 smaller one is a family of Indians with 2 dogs and Indians in the background following them. The other smaller one is a cowboy riding a horse and another horse alongside of him and a startled grizzly on his hind legs very close. This picture is the only one signed on the right side and has the letter c with a circle around it.On 3 of the pictures his signature is signed on the left and dated 1898. I'm just wondering if these prints are worth anything and how much? Any info. is appreciated

Non-Western Russell illustration?
I know CM Russell was a prolific illustrator, but does anyone know if he ever did anyting other than Western / cowboy themes? I have a painting (not his typical signature with the skull, but similarities in lettering style) signed by Charles Russell, but it is a whimsical fishing scene, with the hooked fish in the foreground, the boat far behind, mountains in the background. It's a quality illustration, but I can't locate any other illustrators by the same name. Any clues? Thanks!

C M Russell "I rode him"
Like Sylvia Macdonald, I also acquired a water colored print at a local thrift shop years ago, entitled "I rode him". It's signed CMR, and under Russell's initials, it has a drawing that looks like a steer skull. My print also has as follows: From the brush of C.M. Russell, the Famous Cowboy Artist - - Compliments of B.P.O.E. No 214 Great Falls Montana. a few years back I believe I called the Charles M. Russell museum in Great Falls Montana, who referred me to another museum (forgot the name), but I was asked about the dots in the picture, which are almost non-existant in my print; and the gentleman I talkedd to was able to date the print of "I rode him" to 1904. The size of my print in the original frame is 12" x 16. I was told that the value of my pring was around $200-250.

The Old West collection
I have four Charles M. Russell prints in a cover that says "Presented with the compliments and good wishes of THE TOPP CORPORATION". The cover is likie a CMR print, but does not have his name anywhere or a name. The prints are 16x12. The names are... 1) Wild Horse Hunters 2) In Without Knocking 3) Innocent Allies 4)The Cinch Ring.

The cover folder has the name of the collection "The Old West" and has a short paragraph telling who CMR was and a little bit about his art.

My wife picked these out some 35 years ago as a child, and they have been stored ever since. The items are in new condition.

My wife just loves the prints, and we were thinking about getting them framed to put up through-out the house. My question is this: Do these items have any special value? If they do, we will package them back up and put them away for safe keeping. If they hold no special value or significance, we will get them framed and enjoy them. Thanks for any help you can give. We absolutely love all of CMR's work.

Mike and Mary

charcoal of indian
I just purchased a charcoal of an Indian at a used furniture store in Colorado that was marketed as a " original Russell". The women that put it in the shop on consignment said it was a personal gift given to her as a she is a family member. However it does not have the regular c a Russell signature just Russell, does anyone know if Charles Russell actually did this type of signature on any of his charcoals?

We know that the valuable ones from Roman Bronze Works in NY---so want to varify if ours is one of the 17 that have been held privately. There is a slight chance it's a reproduction, which is what I'm trying to varify. On the authentication documentation it lists Fenn Bronzes, Lubbock TX, 1969.

"I Rode Him
I have a C.M. Russell picture that I believe might be an original sketch or perhaps a water colour. It has a picture in the forefront of a cowboy standing without a hat and around his waist is a sash that trails to the ground. In the background (but still quite large) is a goat with a saddle on it and a cowboy hat is at its left hind hoof. It is signed in original hand writing as follows:
I rode him-your Dad;
To - Craig
Herb Jackson
Ray (or Reg)Jackson
E.E. Maining
Dick Milford, Calgary Stampeders
There is also another signature that I cannot make out.
In smaller print in capital letters at the very bottom of the picture it says:
1st line:FROM THE BRUSH OF C.M. RUSSELL, THE FAMOUS COWBOY ARTIST
2nd line: COMPLIMENTS OF B.P.O.E. NO. 214, GREAT FALLS, MONTANA

If anyone knows anything about this picture I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so very much.

answer to Kenneth Klimpel
Dear Kenneth- I have 2 of cast bronze grizzley bears. They have a hump on the back of their neck. I have been searching the web for over 3hrs. Yours is the first mention of Russell bears I have found. I took mine to an antique store today. There were signed C. Russellalong the bottom of their back leg. They are in a sitting pose. The dealer thought they looked real, but admitted he was not an expert on the subject. They are sitting on small marble circles, very dark with light streaks in it. He was certain that the marble was old. I did find a place called
Bronze Gallery on the web which makes reproductions, but they started out in 1999. They also come with a small gold colored metal plaque
on the marble, which mine do not have. I purchased mine, I have 2, at an estate auction in 1981. I would really like to know thrie worth and when they were made. I will keep looking. They are small, about 3" highand the marble circle is about that in diameter. If yours are like mine, please email anything you may find out. It would be much appreciated. Sincerely,

The other is of 7 cowboys sprinting at full gallop down a hill with still more at the top of the hill. One of the cowboys going down the hill is falling off his horse. That one is dated 1878 or 1898 I can't really tell which but I belive it is the later. Anyone have any idea about these prints and what they are called?

Charles M. Russell
Determining authentic bronze CMR Sculptures - if it is mounted on a marble base, it is almost certainly a recast. Examples of popular recasts can be found online.
Charlie's wife was Nancy Cooper Russell (1878 - 1940), NOT a Native American, and they were married Sept 9, 1896. Nancy was only 17 when she met CMR in 1895.
MANY of Russell's original paintings were made available as fine quality prints on canvas and then overlaid with gesso to simulate brushstrokes. Small dots are the giveaway to these works and a jeweler's loupe of 10x will show these lithography marks quite well. Because of the popularity of Russell's work, it has been widely copied and reproduced worldwide.

Entitled The Buffalo Hunt but it does not look like The Buffalo hunt from 1919 I see on the internet. There is no Buffalo running down the hill. It is difficult to see but the skull and date SEEM to be in pencil ?? (this is framed with glass). Could this be a signed litho? I cannot find another picture exactly like this anywhere on the internet by him.. is it rare? It has 2 native americans on horseback on right running, buffalo in center with a calf in the lead almost and 3 native americans on right running.

Russell Painting
My wife's father (long dead) went to Great Falls in the sixties and bought an original (so we thought) Russell painting. Tim Gordon (an appraiser) says look for dots and if so then it is a print. I looked and I did see what looked like dots (God, I'm such a rookie at this art thing). The painting depicts the four Georgians discovery of Gold in Last Chance Gulch,Helena Montana. My wife is a Helena native. If it is a print, then its a good one. There is no printer signature or anything. Isn't that illegal??? A person can make a print of an artwork without saying somewhere that it is not an original. Wow, I am so confused over all this----can anyone help me---HELP HELP---GEEEEEZE

Need help to date
I bought an oldish charles Russell " the texas Steer"
There is no foundry mark on it but it has the usual russell initials and steer head. It is mounted on a very heavy green marble base, which I removed to see if there were any marks. The brass old plate on the base says simply "By Russell" I have a hunch this was done or sold in NYC around the late 60's or early 70's. Does anyone recognize that kind of base and who sold it. Both Tiffanys and some man whose name started with H did castings about that time. It clearly is not new and just as clearly is not marked with a foundry mark Help. Thanks.

I have been told that it was done by an artist named Elie Hazak made in 1970's and signed it CM Russell with the skull. I have tried to verify this via the net with no luck . Can anyone help?
I also have a signed Russell bronze of a cowboy herding 2 longhorn steers. Is this a real Russell??
Thanks

I have a signed Russell from 1904. It is approx 24 x 24. Indians attacking wagons below in a valley. Indians are firing rifles. I looked with magnifying glass to find dot patterns, but does not appear to have them. Does anyone have info on this piece?

Russell Appraisal
I am an appraiser in Montana who is an expert with paintings by Russell and others. I receive upwards of 50 inquiries per year regqarding Russell "paintings", which turn out to be prints. One quick way to tell, is to use a magnifying glass and look for dot patterns. The best of his prints, value wise are Ridgley Calendar Co. printed. Ridgley was a freind of Russells and these are earliest.

I have a sketch or drawing done in ink by CMR attached to the back is a letter that Lilian, his neighbor, wrote explaining he drew this for her and how she was born in the square but she is giving the sketch to a man Gary or Garg. It is from 1900, it is not all that big, but if you look close it is a self portrait CMR is on the horse. I'm interested in a value and more info if possible, thank you so much!!!!

Russell Bronze
I have what I believe to be an old Russell Bronze. Height 11-1/4 inches, 5X8-7/8 inches, Signed CM Russell (skull) too. It also has a very small RBW for the bronze works stamp initials in the very front, very bottom, very small, also very bottom very back too.

The bronze is Will Rogers and is number 43 pictured on page 78 in the book Charles M. Russell by Frederic G. Renner.

I bought it many years ago for $1,495.00 at a very reputable gallery.

I would like to know, is this the real deal?

What is it really worth today?

Thanks
