Welcome to this
NO-RESERVE
auction for the pictured
Original
,
Artist-Signed
Drawing
for--at least a proposed--
Tournament of Roses
Parade
Float
.
* I am
selling
this for a friend
; who has a dozen or so of these drawings by a couple different artists. He is
(1) retiring soon, (2) moving soon, and (3) wants to sell his collection of art work, antiques, and other accumulated items.
* He knows little about the drawings other than he got them at an auction in
NE Missouri
some time ago and was told that they are original drawings of--at least proposed--Rose Bowl/Tournament of Roses Parade Floats.
* I did some research and here is what I found.
Many of the drawings have a
"
GEORGE W. DANFORTH... Napa, California
" sticker on them (as does this one; see pic).
I found a Napa Valley obit for Mr. Danforth; who was known for "... designing and building parade floats for the Tournament of Roses Parade." So, this must be from a collection of drawings he accumulated in this capacity. In addition, Mr. Danforth moved to
Hannibal, MO--in the NE part of the state--in the late 1970s and passed away there in 2010; explaining how my friend could have come across these drawings at an auction in the region.
