From Gibson Wine:
“Our logo, the pheasant, has long been a trademark of the Gibson Wine Company.
The late Bob Gibson, founder and principal owner of Gibson Wine Company, was a renowned bird fancier and maintained the largest privately owned collection of rare and exotic birds in the United States.
During his travels, he found a rare portfolio containing the original drawings by an early day naturalist and artist. Upon authentication by leading ornithologists, the drawings were deemed to be of the highest quality and detail.
In cooperation with H.S. Crocker Company, Mr Gibson brought Jean Fabreau, a skilled Belgian engraver to America, to hand engrave the plates from which H.S. Crocker Company made the finished product.“
Started out with a Precision Scale model in Roma Wine, ended up with a very unique car.
