My #30 sighting landed me in the St Louis area where I discovered a mangled cowboy laying in the weeds behind Croft Trailer in Valley Park. The giant originally stood in Belleville, IL throughout the 60s and stood at a number of different businesses till he moved over to MO in 1998. I was able to purchase him in 2016 and he is currently in restoration and will be set up at the American Giants Museum in 2024.

This unique Bunyan version stands to the west of St Louis at Skyline Motors along I-70 and holds a big sign that says “No Job to Big”. He is a classic Bunyan except he has the arm pose of a chief version! In all my years of muffler man hunting and research, he is the only one like this that I know of with a raised right hand salute and not the standard Muffler Man pose that could hold an axe.
