I bought this yesterday at the flea, looks simular to one of the local Pottawanmi indian basket makers strawberry basket style, but this one is made out of birch bark instead of black ash, no signatures just neat

@ Tom - YEAH - this is what I thought the other person's "Pipe/Wedding Vase" was made of - Catlinite - not catalin  - OMG! I was close but could not come up with it!

So glad to see your post - It's awesome too! WTG!

Tom, how amazing is your chanupa! Isn't it an awesome feeling to actually hold something that old?! Will you be looking for a museum to buy it, or do you have a buyer in mind?

LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT AN ESTATE SALE.  It's called a Chanupa by the Sioux Nation. Made of Minnesota red pipestone (catlinite). Others call it a Calumet, or Peace Pipe.  Mine would found in 1922 by a young 11 year old. He died in 2008, age 97.  I bought it from his son. It was found near Lincoln Nebr. on a family farm.  This is an ancient artifact, estimated to be l,000 to 3,000 years old. I haven't put a price on it yet.

@Judy - Native American items are very difficult to find out about, and many are just plain illegal to own. So, this is probably why you are having difficulty here. I would recommend a good book on Native American Collectibles. This is most likely the only way you can find out more about your items. The other suggestion I would have is to seek out an expert - try the Antiques Roadshow website - send pics directly to one of their appraisers on this art form. Good Luck!

There are more items on page 2, if you would care to look. Judy

These 4" tall retro-looking salt & pepper shakers have stickers that say there are souvenirs of Lake Placid, NY. The heads are ceramic, but the bodies look like that were made from tree bark.
