Cowboy1970 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have acquired a set of 44 boy scout prints titled "SCOUTING THROUGH THE EYES OF NORMAN ROCKWELL". I'm trying to find what these are worth. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleInKY Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Wow, the whole set. That would be cool to have. I would check Ebay. I've never seen a whole set on there, but I have seen several Rockwells. It may give you an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy1970 Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks EagleInKY, I've done that and saw that there is "one" on there with a starting bid of $800 but no bids, but of-course I don't know if the seller has a clue or not. I also cannot find any listed in the completed section on ebay also couldn't find anything when I did a search for the title on the internet..... the resources are just elluding me. If you find anything else or have any further ideas let me know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbng Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I would try contacting either a Boy Scout museum or a Norman Rockwell museum for help with this. My parents, when visiting a Norman Rockwell museum, were told that the Scout prints could not be sold as they were owned by the BSA. Therefore, one of these two sources might be best able to help out. What a treasure, regardless of dollar item assigned to the prints, this is!

Miki101 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Actually the question of copyright ownership is a good one. Unless Brown & Bigelow has turned copyright over to the BSA, B&B would own those images because they were produced for B&B calendars. When I got permission to use one of those works for a project in my council, I had to get B&B's permission, not BSA's. David C. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgoodwin Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I have that box set of prints. I don't recall off hand exactly how many prints are in my copy -- but the "prints" aren't the originals. They are printed copies of the original artworks. So, I guess I'm saying $800 sounds a mite high. I bought mine a couple of years ago, but I think I paid around $75 for it. Why are you looking to value it? If you're a Scouter, I'd treasure the box set and not worry about the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutldr Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I received two prints for Christmas, about 11x17, and personally signed by the artist. They were purchased on ebay for less than $100 each (I hope!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
