Also, and just as importantly:
.....
We have had all of our items privately appraised for our own personal insurance purposes.

About the New: "Fetters Setters ~ Antique and English Setter Collectible Shop"

While we have shown a number of pieces from our Personal Collection below ~ and will continue to share other pieces here ~ we have had a number of inquiries concerning the possible sale of pieces from our Private Collection which we have shared with you here. While none of the pieces shown in our Private Collection here are for sale ~ many of which are Fetters Family Heirlooms ~ we have other Antiques and Collectbles now available for purchase at the "Fetters Setters ~ Antique and English Setter Collectible Shop" which can be accessed by this link.

Occasionally, friends and family have duplicates of Antiques and Collectibles and/or items they no longer have room for ~ or we run into duplicate items we already own in our travels. We will be offering a few such pieces on the "Fetters Setters ~ Antique and English Setter Collectible Shop" page for sale to the interested general public from time to time.

A number of the pieces will be English Setter-related items, however we will also have pieces that deal with other types of Gun Dogs and Hunting themes in general. An introduction to the shop appears at the top of the page as well as contact information. If there is something specific you have been searching for, let us know by using the Contact Us by Email function, and we will do our best to try assist you in your search.

"The Last Match" ~ by A. B. Frost from a Vintage Portfolio

This piece is another one of four engravings from a vintage A. B. Frost portfolio which was acquired by my father in the 1950s ~ two more of these are shown in the posts below this one. My father had kept these safely stored in their original portfolio and had never gotten around to having them framed.
.
When they were passed along to us, we eventually managed to have them mounted in matching vintage frames which The Lady of the House discovered and acquired on one of our antique-hunting adventures. The view area measures nine inches wide by twelve inches high.
.
This particular piece, signed in the lower right corner, is entitled "The Last Match" and depicts two hunters taking a break from their Upland Game Hunting ~ with their Pointer and Llewellin Setter ~ on a windy day attempting to use their last match to light their cigar and pipe during a break.
