Cowboy
Wynnewood, OK
2011: 2020:
This Cowboy statue has been located at Steppin' Out Western Wear since around 2008. Just a few months after these 2011 photos were taken, the statue was knocked over and had broken apart. By 2012, the statue had been restored and reinstalled. It was originally on the roof but it is now on the ground. For more, see this website. [map]

Buck Atom Space Cowboy
Tulsa, OK
The Buck Atom Space Cowboy and the companion Stella Atom Space Cowgirl statues were created by Mark Cline. Buck Atom's body was produced from broken pieces of an International Fiberglass cowboy statue that came from Edmonton, AB. Cline added custom features like the jet pack and helmet. The rocket was created by a local artist, Chris Wollard. The statue was installed in front of a former gas station which now houses Buck Atom's Cosmic Curios in 2019. For more, see this website.

former Cowboy
Rockwood, PA
2004:
 2012:
From the shape of the brim of his hat, I'm assuming that this statue was originally a Cowboy. The statue is located at Scottyland Campground. It has been here since at least 1967. The statue has had different looks over the years: as a Cowboy, an Army Soldier, and a Scotsman. He has been an Uncle Sam since at least 2003. This statue has long sleeves like the one in Woodstown, NJ. However, these sleeves are much cruder and were probably not created by International Fiberglass. This statue was repainted sometime between 2004 and 2012. He has a much darker complexion now.

Cowboy
Sturgis, SD (now Vale, SD)
2008:
 2012:
2022:
This Cowboy statue stands in front of the Full Throttle Saloon. The statue was previously located on the roof of a pawn shop in Wendover, UT. When he was there, he was painted like a rodeo clown. The statue is now accessorized with a cigar and mug of beer. The Full Throttle Saloon was destroyed in a fire in 2015 but the statue was far enough from the building to not suffer any damage. The business was rebuilt about seven miles away and reopened in 2016. In 2017, the statue was moved to the new location in Vale. [map]

Cowboy
Boerne, TX
2008:
 2011:
This Cowboy statue has been located at Jennings Anderson Ford since around 2001. The statue held a giant pipe which supported an advertising banner for the dealership. By 2010, the statue was moved to Jennings' new location. He was repainted at that time. By 2016, the statue was holding a branding iron with a star. For more, see this website. [map]

Cowboy
Grove, OK (now Dallas, TX)
This Cowboy statue was likely installed in the late 1960s at a Phillips 66 station. This statue still has the original holster and gun which are very rare. At some point, it was moved to Afton, OK. Later, it was moved to Don's Swap Shop in Grove, OK. The statue was taken down in 2009 for repairs but remained in storage until 2016 when it was sold to Copeland Switch. These photos were taken there in 2024 just before the statue was sold and moved to Dallas, TX. It will be restored and displayed there but the location is not yet known. There was also a Giant Man statue at Copeland Switch which was sold and moved to Yukon, OK. For more, see this website.

Cowboy
Spooner, WI

2007:
2011:
This Cowboy statue was known as "Mel" when he was at Mel's 66 gas station in town. He now stands in front of Bulik's Amusement Center, a go-kart and waterslide park. He's been here since at least the early 1990s. Sometime between 2007 and 2010, he was repainted. For more, see this website. [map]

Cowboy
Calgary, AB (Canada)
This Cowboy statue is located at Calgary Tunnelling and Horizontal Augering. It has been there since around 1998. It was originally located at a Phillips 66 station in the U.S. By the 1970s, it was moved to a mobile home business in Edmonton, AB. When that business closed, the statue was moved to a farm. The statue was restored before being installed at Calgary Tunnelling. It still has the original belt and holster which is missing from most Cowboy statues. [photos thanks Corey Scheffler] [map]
