Information on Frank Schirman

I have updated my website about the artist Frank Schirman. I finally was able to find a piece that connects Schirman to the Poly Art Ltd. company.

Here's the site http://sdbirds.basiclink.com/frank_schirman.htm

Another "missing link" for this carving from your site:

the Poly Art version:

These were listed as PolyArtSchirmann on the ebay listing about a year ago:

You did a great job finding the "missing" link. Your next task is to find the Schirmann/Trophy ornamentation connection. Here is the only lead to surface so far:

A letter opener version of another one from your site:

I found one just like it on this piece of wood yesterday:

It stuck into a base and had something circular attatched to the top. I think it was a trophy. Probably a surf trophy...

Good luck!
Buzzy Out!

and more of his story gets unravelled-thanks for the additional images.

I found this 2' tall beautifully carved wood statue signed "Frank Schirman" at the thrift store for about 20 bucks a couple of years back:

Nice piece. Is the signature on the top of the base and does it say what kind of wood it is on the bottom? Aloha, Freddie

It is signed and I'll see if the wood type is on it.. just my camera back today from my daughter so I'll try to get a good photo.
