  1. Greetings ya'll This is my first post, Gettin right to the point, I remember when I was just a young'un. My Grand mother owned a shoe repair shop on Bellknap ave. in Haltom city Texas,I lived with her off and on for many years. Well a bit closer to the point Her son my Uncle Bill (who was Vice Pres of John Mans ville Ft. Worth) Had a mural in his living room that to this day is the best and most authentic (as far as a picture of the old west) There were old buildings cattle wagons old fences, ect. ect. This thing was 4 or 5 feet long and about 2 and a half feet wide, all of leather the frame was even leather about 1 and a half inches thick. My question is, something of that stature, workmanship. might anyone have an idea of who might have created that, or maybe some where that I might search for some kind of record of it having been made. I have no idea of what happened to it or where it may have ended up. I hope at some sort of leather museum. This is just a shot in the dark, but I loved that old work and would like to see it again. Thanks for any input P.S. was hoping that some one out there might remember the old shoe shop it was there for many many years.
