Does anyone have any other pictures or information for this grand display?
We've seen the pic here before and talked about some.
Anybody? History Detectives (GeneB)?

I'm sure you could. I handled the wooden bullet box you donated at Savage Fest.

Actually, what I would like is a reverse engineered mechanical drawing of the display, pieces & parts. Within some reasonable detail and accuracy understanding that they are generated from this lonely picture.
I'm just an electrical guy whistle and hoping one of you mechanical guys could CAD something up with minimal time and effort.
Could be a fun project. PM me if you're up for it.

Meanwhile, still hoping for other pictures and info!

Pulling dimensions off this lone picture would be possible, easy even. Coming up corner and panel joinery would be one of just a few options. Trim profiles could be anything you want, from homedepot to one-off custom. What about the cornice carving and bust, what do you want them to look like? Then of course there's engineering the concealed door to the interior where the secret rituals occur...and that's all before we get to the details of the chair.

You could hold a small Savage Fest inside the thing.

For now just the coarse X,Y,Z dimensions overall and components. Trim, corners, detail, chief bust, etc, to be determined.

Yea I know, but let's keep digging. The Company, the display, St. Louis Fair '04, etc. Somebody somewhere has a tidbit additional info that will tell more. Genealogist, Arms Historian,..

I have/had been looking nothing yet. However I believe that many pictures exist of this critter we just have not found them yet.

I used to live in STL and I bet the History Museum in STL would have some additional pictures in their archive... maybe next time I am in town there I can swing by and ask them.

I hate you guys.....

Just spent a few hours paging thru a few thousand pages of 1904 World's Fair books. Nada. Don't mind the work, but can't believe I couldn't find ANYTHING. I did find the magazine with the picture at top, I'll see if the local university library has a copy of the mag and hope for a higher Rez pic.

This help at all?

Folks to write here.

http://www.1904worldsfairsociety.org

Says the MO Historical Society Research Library has the official books on the fair. That would be my next move, as suggested above.

Here is an extensive website.

If you go down to "exhibitors " at the fair in the middle column, Savage Arms is listed under the S Manufacturers, and then included in Hardware, section 41. Nothing really to see, just their listing.

I have done the same thing and found nothing related to the display. I did learn a lot about the time though. My initial thought was the display was used in the next exposition but I found nothing about that either.

This Sue Edwards seems like the person you guys are looking for and may be able to help.

She says she has researched the role of Savage Arms in the 1904 LPE.

http://www.suebradfordedwards.8m.com/historian.htm

From the little Ive picked up, the 1904 LPE theme seemed to be about different peoples from around the world, with displays of their culture. At that time, known as "Savages".

Maybe Savage Arms was just a convenient tie in to that overall theme.



Good luck!

I sent her an email a couple days ago asking for what information she'd dug up. We might not want to bury her with requests, I'll share what she gives me.
