Zuni Pueblo Indian Brooch:
 |
|
|
Here
is a wonderful, what I believe to be BLUE GEM old Zuni Pueblo Indian inlayed
silver and turquoise pin or brooch. It is one of the nicer pins that I have had.
The stones are exquisite and have great depth. The photos do not do them
justice. It is of the finest quality. Being all turquoise and likely BLUE GEM
makes it a rare one indeed. It is about 2" across. I believe this item to be
made about 1920's or early 30's but I have no way of knowing who made it, or if
it might be a little newer, so you all be the judges. It is not signed but I'm
sure it is Zuni and very good quality as well. $899.00. |

Teddie Weahkee?:
|
|
Here
are two Zuni fetishes that could have possibly been made Teddie Weahkee! I am
selling them separate. One is the oldest made out of Malachite (the green stone)
that I have ever seen (ca 1940's); I believe that it could be a bear. It has
coral, shell, and turquoise beads along with a stylized turquoise arrowhead. It
also has a leather or sinew wrap in the classic style. This one is a must have
for any collector of early fetishes if you don’t have an early example of
malachite. Overall it is very pleasing with a nice old patina. $950.00 or make
me an offer.
The bottom fetish in the photo is likely a fox or wolf it has turquoise inset
eyes and a leather/sinew wrap with turquoise arrowhead. This one is made out of
either jet or possibly rocky mountain jade. Also a very nice pleasing fetish. I
acquired both of these fetishes from an old time collector that had discovered
them in a Colorado antique shop over 35 years ago. $775.00 |

Tomahawk
pipe axe. Early Eastern style with pewter and nickle silver inlays, a fabulous
file branded haft, and head with engraving. This Pipe Tomahawk is pictured on
page 31 in full color of "Tomahawks, Pipe Axes of the American Frontier" by John
Baldwin. It is one of the best examples extant. The head from bit to bowl is 6
1/8" long and the haft is about 14" long. The iron head has some of the finest
workmanship and embellishment. This one is as good as they get. POR |

HERON LAKE DUCK CALL:
|
|
|
HERON
LAKE DUCK CALL. Here is a very rare collectible A D Sontag Heron Lake (MN) duck
call. It is quite large being about 6 3/4" long and almost 1 7/8" wide. From my
understanding the barrel of the call is original and very old. Marv Meyer
hand-made the stopper and "guts" for this and the other calls that were found.
He signed them as seen in the photos. These calls are very collectible and there
are not very many known to exist so get them now whilst you can. Thank you very
much for your interest in my auctions. If you have any questions please ask
prior to bidding, I'll do my best to answer them and will get back to everyone
