Stamper Miner

The Stamper Miner [formerly in Rapid City, South Dakota] has been moved to Tucson. He stands in front of Cummings Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling. The statue was completely refurbished. It has an excellent base and stand to take pictures on.

The Muffler Man in Rapid City is gone. It was sold to someone from Texas who already owns one. So he might pop up somewhere down there.

The Muffler Man is in good shape. He still has his custom belt buckle and shirt patch, but his jeans are now dark blue.

The business has closed. "Big Ed" is reported to be going up for auction on May 28, 2015, so he may not be at this location for much longer.

The Muffler Man is still at Cash for Gold location. Holds a miner's pick. In honor of nearby Sturgis, he sports a Harley Davidson belt buckle and shirt patch (Sturgis now has its own muffler man).
