I did, at one time, have some other Ron Turner re-creations. George Hagenauer traded them away from me some time back.
When I commissioned Ron to do these, he was retired and would undertake commission work to supplement his old age pension. He would charge something like £75 a pop (whatever that equates to in $s), so really good value for money.
The guy who sold me the Gaughan also sold me a Kelly-Freas and Ed Emsh for similarly next-to-nothing prices. The Emsh was a scratchboard illustration and when sent through the post, the seller didn't use any serviceable packaging material and the Emsh arrived damaged (parts were cracked). Was pi**ed about that, but because I didn't have much money invested in the piece let it ride. Doug Ellis later bought the Kelly-Freas and Emsh illustrations from me at a far higher price than what I paid, so it all turned out good in the end.
