Speer’s reputation for making the world's finest component bullets and loaded ammunition dates back to 1943. That’s when Vernon Speer began building his own bullets, as reloaders couldn't get the components they needed from ammunition companies during WW2. In the 1980s, Speer produced some beautiful cartridge display boards akin to the old Winchester bullet boards of the late 19th century. Oftentimes though, the Speer boards differed by featuring commissioned artwork elegantly serving as the backdrop of the cartridges. One such board depicted a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep enjoying the Salmon River country in north-central Idaho. This Vintage 1980s Speer “Salmon River Solitude” 27 1/2” x 15 1/2” Bullet Cartridge Display Board is in Very Good Condition, with 13 of the bullets missing their lead tips, the title, artist, and historical background placard at the middle back having been taped down at the corners and edges, and with some scattered age wear evident. Most interestingly, it’s marked “SPEER” and facsimile signed and dated by the artist, “C.A. Grende / 1989”, at the lower front, depicts a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep enjoying the Salmon River country in north-central Idaho in the foreground, and features 160 bullets glued around the front, ranging from .22 cal to .458” and everything in between. It remains well mounted in the original brown wooden frame, sports a glued and pinned brown burlap backing, and carries the original metal hanging loop affixed at the top reverse. A fine example of a rare, original Vintage 1980s Speer “Salmon River Solitude” 27 1/2” x 15 1/2” Bullet Cartridge Display Board.
