Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (13,194)
- 3***3 (32)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat railroad painting of the CZ Observation car by a great artist, Don Feight! This Giclee Print is of the highest quality and arrived without damage. Couldn't resist it when I saw it offered, and cannot wait to get this mounted, framed and hung. Seller bundled shipping to save me some money. Communication with the seller (airplanesandmore) was great. Would recommend this seller 100% as well as the painter. Look for Feight's other work on this seller's ebay site."Breeze From the West" Don Feight Railroad Print - California Zephyr (#271081287662)
