Those are wonderful Craig! Thanks for sharing them! :)
@ 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!
