Item Description
Fraser was an assistant to Saint-Gaudens, designed the 1913 buffalo nickel and is most famous for his "End Of The Trail" sculpture. His name "Fraser" and copyright of "19©20" appear at upper right corner of his heavy cast metal piece which has original wire hanger on reverse. The piece is 10x12.75 by nearly .5" thick at the border which surrounds higher relief profile portrait of T.R. Below is his quotation that dates from his years as NYC police commissioner: "Aggressive Fighting For The Right Is The Noblest Sport The World Affords." Reverse of the plaque has maker's name "DecArtS." In the art market, this piece is typically priced between $1,000-$2,000. Our last example in 2003 reached nearly $500. N. Mint and with conservative opening.
