ORIGINAL 1923 TRUE TYPE HOLSTEIN COW & BULL This great pair are the results of an almost 30 year search. They represent probably the greatest ar fact any Holstein collector can ever obtain! Created by Japanese sculptor Gozo Kawamura of New York in 1923, they were commissioned by a 10 man commi ee in the early 1920’s to help standardize the percep on of the ideal Holstein male and female. Spearheading that commi ee was W.S. Moscrip of Minnesota and Fred Pabst of Wisconsin. This commi ee spent countless hours fine tuning the original models with finally these being the end result. Only 100 pair were cast of metal. 65 of those were given to land-grant colleges on perpetual loan. Another 5 pair went to state Holstein offices in Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, New England, and possibly Maryland. 10 more went to the commi ee members, leaving around 20 pair available for the general public @ $100 per pair in 1923. Of the remaining 20 pair, we have discovered 6—7 coun ng this one. Two of the 6 are at the Holstein offices in Bra leboro. The other 4 are in private hands that are absolutely not le ng them go for any price. The models are substan al in size and weight. They are ¼ scale. The bull is 28” long and 18” high—female at 24” long and 16” high. Best es mates are the bull weighs in at about 100 lb. and the cow @ 75 lb. Condi on is excellent with no cracks, breaks, or missing parts. They are mounted on a ½” mahogany base which was present in 1923 on all the models but is missing on all the other examples I have seen. Some me prior to 1960, both of these models have had the paint touched up; mostly on the cast base. Obviously, there are also small areas of paint loss.These represent a rare opportunity to own something that few possess or ever will possess. The chance of finding another pair are about the same as seeing classifier chief Cy Le er stop drinking Miller Beer—not likely to happen! Make no mistake—they are expensive. Call if interested.
