This item is very delicate and requires care when handling and is accompanied by a custom Dale Ford crate (24 x 18 x 14 inches)
 
Dale Ford is recognized for his meticulously crafted scale models celebrating the history and craftsmanship of the American West. Combining the skills of a master woodworker with the eye of a historian, Ford creates highly detailed reproductions of iconic frontier vehicles and equipment, each reflecting extensive research and an appreciation for authentic construction techniques. His works are admired by collectors for their exceptional craftsmanship, historical accuracy, and enduring decorative appeal.
 
Butterfield Overland Stagecoach pays tribute to one of the most significant symbols of westward expansion in nineteenth-century America. The Butterfield Overland Mail route, established in 1858, connected the eastern United States with California, playing a vital role in communication, commerce, and settlement across the frontier. Faithfully rendered with intricate detailing and hand-painted finishes, Ford's model captures both the elegance and rugged engineering of the legendary Concord-style stagecoach. Rich in historical character and executed with remarkable precision, this work is an outstanding celebration of the ingenuity and adventurous spirit that defined the American West.
