Dale Ford, of Redding, California, was a full-time western artist and sculptor since 1965. The C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana has a 69 piece collection of Dale Ford’s miniature horse drawn vehicles on permanent exhibit. Ford has created 80 different miniature horse drawn vehicles from the 1800’s. Each is made by hand of hardwood, steel and leather and with great detail. Each has a very fine hand-rubbed finish that is striped and lettered by hand.
His bronze sculptures have been created using the “Lost Wax” bronze casting method.
