This “Fine Pewter” pin collection has grown out of my fascination with wildlife and the desire to capture its diversity in accurately detailed and affordable pieces of wearable art.

My interest in wildlife was firmly established at an early age through countless visits to museums, zoos, hiking and fishing trips and by keeping all sorts of pets. This appreciation was further enhanced while earning degrees in Natural Resource Conservation and Biology.

Combining this with my childhood compulsion to sculpt mashed potatoes at the dinner table, becoming a wildlife sculptor was not only logical but inevitable.

I sculpt the original designs at actual size and then make precision molds from them, capturing even the finest details. Working with my brother Jim and the production crew, we hand pour and finish each piece in a 20 step process. The work is cast exclusively in “Fine Pewter”, a jeweler’s alloy which maintains its antiqued look indefinitely.

Each of our more than 350 designs is offered in Antiqued Pewter and 24K Gold Plated finishes. Most are also available Hand Painted (see index), done meticulously by a talented and patient group of wildlife artists using blended acrylic paints and a durable sealer to create an especially striking piece of wearable art. Designs are added frequently so be sure to ask what's new.

Our pins are for everyone! They are sold worldwide through sporting goods stores, specialty shops, galleries and catalogs. Conservation groups, schools and businesses use them for fund raising and promotional items. Artists and craftsmen paint our pins or incorporate them into belt buckles, knife and rod handles, cameos with framed art and limitless other projects. Ultimately, each piece ends up in the hands of an appreciative outdoor enthusiast.

Since 1984, we've constantly strived to produce the highest quality fish and wildlife pins available and apply the strictest standards of quality control in their reproduction. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.We take great pride in our customer service and look forward to hearing from you soon.
