1985 Ned Smith print
« on: June 15, 2014, 02:51:53 PM »
Does anybody here know where one might obtain a copy of the NWTF 1985 Ned Smith print of the gobbler sailing off the mountain?
I've got a mountain turkey man that says this print reminds him so much of a turkey he hunted for several years. He said the bird would never gobble, just sail across the valley to the other mountains. He is trying to find a copy. Found one on ebay for $600. That may be cheap, I don't know.

I have the #1 print which I got off of Jim Clay several years ago. I would say that $600.00 is a fair price.

The only issue I see with the one on Ebay right now is it may (I'm guessing here) have been re-framed. Usually those L/E prints also had a stamp mounted in that frame. The matting also looks a little off center. But that just could be the poor photography. Buyer beware.

that is royal domain,...it usually brings around 500 here in Millersburg (Ned Smiths hometown),...I've seen it go cheaper and I've seen it go for more at sales around here.   I do have a few in the "giclees' that I would sell for a lot less than that,...they are not signed,..but a great reproduction of the original that the center produced,..the NWTF also had them two years ago in their package.
