For sale, anANTIQUE (BELIEVE 1915-1930 ERA ? (PER FAMILY) NATIVE AMERICAN "PLAINS" REGION (PER FAMILY ESTATE) HAND CRAFTED AND FINELY BEADED 2 SIDED OLD "BSA" BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICAN PC....ORIGINAL FAMILY CALLED THIS "BOOKMARK"
I am not an expert in old Native
American beadwork....but thought this Boy Scouts pc was fantastic....they called it a "bookmark"....but to me almost looks like a souvenir "fob" but...not sure (that is what family thought it was) and this displays very nicely in person....these came out of an Arizona estate, originally owned by grandparents who lived in Northwest, and it is believed this was bought in the
Dakotas
many years ago, based on when the grandparents were collecting items like this....
This was stored in a little old plastic box, so I took a couple of pictures inside the box, and a little note on the back....box comes with it.
THIS SEEMS IN DECENT CONDITION FOR THE AGE, HAS A LITTLE UN-RAVELING ON TOP, BUT VERY MINOR, JUST BEEN DISPLAYED IN THIS BOX.....AND BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLY "PLAINS" REGION NATIVE AMERICAN (FROM SOUTH DAKOTA REGION?) ....this bookmark has been carefully stored in a cool dry place inside this little box.....THE BEADWORK IS NICE....
