Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6876339 | Topic: Collectibles |
HERE IS A VERY EARLY FALCON HOOD MADE BY CLAY SMITH WHILE HE LIVED IN COLORADO. THIS HOOD WAS MADE BACK IN 1978 AND WAS AMONG SOME OF THE VERY FIRST HOODS HE MADE. HIS TALLENT WITH LEATHER AS WELL AS FIT IS AMONG THE BEST. I BELEIVE THIS HOOD WAS MADE FOR A FEMALE PRAIRIE FALCON BUT IT WAS BEFORE HE STARTED MARKING THEM. IT DOES HAVE HIS EARLY MARKING IN THE INSIDE TOP OF CSE—HIS INITIALS, CLAYTON EDWARD SMITH. HOOD IS LIKE BRAND NEW AND WAS NEVER USED. A GREAT PIECE OF FALCONRY HIST...ORY BY ONE OF THE BEST.
