    Description

    THIS BAG AND PIPE HAVE BEEN IN OUR FAMILY COLLECTION FROM THE 1950's. MY FATHER COLLECTED NATIVE AMERICAN ITEMS WHICH HE OFTEN ACQUIRED ON FISHING TRIPS IN THE GREAT LAKES AND HAD NATIVE GUIDES. THEY WERE OFTEN WILLING TO TRADE FOR ITEMS HE AND HIS FRIENDS BROUGHT WITH THEM.
    THE BAG AND PIPE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER AND I AM SELLING THEM TOGETHER IN THE HOPE THEY WILL STAY TOGETHER.
    THE BAG IS MADE OF BUCKSKIN LEATHER AND MEASURES 27" WITHOUT THE HORSEHAIR TASSELS. THE TASSELS MEASURE 17*', SO THE TOTAL LENGTH IS 44". THE BAG IS 6 1/2" WIDE. THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY BEADED IN RED TRADE BEADS. THERE ARE 31 HORSEHAIR TASSELS ATTACHED TO LEATHER STRIPS BY HANDMADE METAL CONES AND HAND-SOWN ATTACHED TO THE BAG. THERE IS A HANDMADE METAL MEDALLION WITH BEAR CLAW & DESIGNS ETCHED ON THE FACE. THE METAL IS NOT STERLING SILVER. THERE ARE TWO DANGLED LEATHER STRAPPING HANGING DOWN WITH TRADE BEADS AND TWO DEW CLAWS. THE BEAD WORK IS LOOM STYLE (THIS STYLE IS OFTEN THE STYLE USED BY GREAT LAKES AND NORTH EAST TRIBES). ALL BEADS ARE INTACT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BAG. THE BEAD WORK MEASURES 7 3/4" WIDE. AND 6 1/8" LENGTH. THE BEAD WORK IS HAND SOWN ON TO THE LEATHER BAG. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE MATERIAL USED TO SEW IT ON IS COTTON OR SINEW.
    THE PIPE MEASURES 23" LONG AND THE CATLINITE (PIPE STONE) BOWL MEASURES 3" THERE IS SMOKE RESIDUE INSIDE THE BOWL SO IT HAS BEEN SMOKED. THE PIPE IS WRAPPED WITH SINEW & LEATHER WITH BUFFALO FUR AND TAIL HAIR ATTACHED. THE SMOKING END HAS A BONE LIKE MOUTHPIECE. THERE ARE 2 TEETH DANGLING FROM THE SINEW WITH ONE WOODEN BEAD ON EACH DANGLE. THERE IS A THIN PIECE OF SINEW ATTACHED IN TWO PLACES ON THE SHAFT WHICH COULD BE USED TO HANG THE PIPE.
    I HAD THIS APPRAISED BY AN APPRAISER IN 2017. I HAVE THE APPRAISAL FORM AND THE BUSINESS CARD OF THE APPRAISER AND WILL INCLUDE THAT INFORMATION WITH THE SALE.
    SHIPPING WILL BE IN LOTS OF BUBBLE AND PEANUTS AND WILL SHIP PRIORITY WITH INSURANCE. THERE WILL BE A FLAT SHIPPING FEE OF 40.00 FOR ALL USA BIDDERS.  I WILL SELL INTERNATIONALLY BUT BUYER MUST AGREE TO USE THE EBAY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING PROGRAM. I WILL NOT SELL ANY OTHER WAY.
    THANKS FOR LOOKING AT ALL THE PHOTOS AND ASKING ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.
