D.H. McCowan, Bend, Oregon, commissioned directly from the artist, 1959
Thence by descent to the present owner

Overall in very good condition. The wood with scattered light scratches, instances of rubbing, and minor indentations and marks throughout, all consistent with age and gentle use. The free edge with some more slightly prominent scattered nicks, dents, abrasions, and wear throughout, and with two chips measuring approximately ¼ x ½ in. and ½ x ¼ in. respectively. The front proper right edge of the free edge with some slightly more prominent wear. A beautiful example of this model in very good condition.
