Many of the fiberglass buffalo statues shown below were produced by Sculptured Advertising in Sparta, WI in the early 1960s. This company became Creative Display in the 1970s and then FAST Fiberglass in the early 1980s. Modern aluminum versions of these fiberglass buffalo statues and other variations were likely produced by making molds of these earlier statues.
