Description
"The Barber's Shelf" was photographed at the Museum of the Mountain West in Montrose, Colorado. This image would look wonderful in a bathroom or barber shop. It would look especially nice with my images, "Randsburg Barber Shop Interior" and "Randsburg Barber Shop Exterior."
This remarkable small-town museum displays 500,000 artifacts from the mountain west in store and office displays circa 1880-1930. When just six years old, the Museum of the Mountain West received Honorable Mention as one of True West Magazine's Museums of the Year. The museum was founded by Richard E. Fike in 1997. Fike is a retired historical archaeologist having served as state archaeologist for the Bureau of Land Management in both Utah and Colorado. He served on committees in both Utah and Colorado for the Federal & State Register of Historic Places and is an expert in historical restoration. Fike began collecting western memorabilia when he was 4 years old. He had his first museum in his parent's guest room at the age of 8 and by 12 years of age he had begun his card catalog of artifacts. Fike is the author of many historical books and articles and is considered an expert in historical medicinal bottles. The Bottle Book: A Comprehensive Guide to Historic Embossed Medicine Bottles was revised and published by Blackburn Press in 2006, originally published in 1987. Currently Rich Fike is the President of the MMW Board of Directors and contributes his expertise as museum director and historical preservationist
