FINE OLD ANTIQUE / VINTAGE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN BEADWORK BEADED SHEATH & TOOL.
I will be selling a good number of interesting antiques including Tribal art, Chinese and European antiques. PLEASE NOTE: This auction is in GB Pounds Sterling.This is one of a number of Native American antiques I am selling this week. This example comes from the collection of an indiv...idual who was apparently with the merchant navy and spent several months living amongst the local people (including Sam Bear) and received these pieces I am selling here. This first example is a finely beaded sheath & skinning tool. The sinew sewn sheath is nicely beaded in lilac, green, red and pale yellow beads on a white bead ground with four black hair tassles. It is a fine example of Native American craft and I am selling it at a very low starting price and with no reserve. *Please note the stand is not included in the sale, thank you.It is my policy not to end standard auctions early with a 'buy it now' and at the end of an auction I will not make second chance offers. Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details - most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don't find what you are looking for. Condition & Dimensions
Very good overall condition. A chip to the end of the wooden handle (and some slight splitting etc) but the beadwork sheath is in great shape. Please see photos.The sheath measures about 19.5cms long (not including tassles etc.). The tool contained within measures about 25.5cms long overall.
Postage & Packing
For your peace of mind and mine items will be sent fully insured. I will be posting from WEDNESDAY 8th MAY so please make payment as early as possible, ideally within 3 working days. PLEASE be a little patient with the post - I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, have a large amount to post and I do pack carefully. I also post in the order that things are paid for. My items are located in Belgium but I return to the UK after each set of Ebay sales on business trips and post the majority from the UK. It seems complicated but it makes sense and the Royal Mail and Parcelforce have always worked pretty well for me!Any delays by the postal services either at my end or abroad are rarely my fault. I always post out at the latest 3 working days after receiving cleared payment but sometimes an item is slowed up by a backlog of post or delayed whilst being processed through customs. To give you an idea it generally takes about 3-7 working days within Europe and 7 - 14 working days to the U.S. / rest of the world. If speed is of the essence then I can use a courier (Parcelforce) but prices for couriers start at around £30 / £40GBP for the very smallest object and VERY quickly escalate depending on size, weight and destination. I add on very little, often not enough to cover the packaging materials, so the price I quote really is as fair as possible.
