Pistol Pete Desktop Sculpture

  ICON Artworks is proud to pay tribute to the beloved Oklahoma State University mascot with our Officially Licensed PISTOL PETE Desktop Sculpture!   Cowboy, U.S. Marshal, gun-slinger, and blacksmith, Frank “Pistol Pete” Eaton served as the inspiration for Oklahoma State's mascot. Approached in 1923 by a group of Oklahoma A&M students after leading Stillwater’s Armistice Day Parade, Eaton, a rugged cowboy serving at the time as the sheriff in the nearby town of Perkins, Oklahoma, agreed to be represented as the mascot. It was not until 1958, however, that the mascot was made official and not until 1984 that the Pistol Pete caricature became a licensed symbol of OSU.  A perfect gift for students, alumni, faculty, and fans alike!  GO POKES!!   Created by acclaimed sculptor Robin Richerson of ICON Artworks Handcrafted in Cast Pewter and Bronze Plated Cast Pewter Available in two sizes - 6-inch and 8-INCH (including base) - 6-inch Total Weight: 2.25 lbs.; 8-INCH Total Weight: 5 lbs
