Sell Your American Indian Cabinet Card
Spotted Tail was chief of the Brule Teton tribe and in his youth was a warrior in the Grattan massacre of 1854. He was believed to be the uncle of Crazy Horse, cousin of Conquering Bear and relative of Touch the Clouds. Spotted tail got his name from fur trappers who gifted him a raccoon tail that he wore in his headdress. He wasn’t a chief through blood but earned it through his character and leading abilities. As a statesman for his people Spotted Tail defended Native American land from white invaders and represented his tribe in Washington D.C.
We at Nate D. Sanders Auctions sold two signed cabinet cards of Native Americans Spotted Tail and Red Cloud for $1,504. Please see details below:
Two American Indian Signed Cabinet Cards
Two Native-American cabinet cards signed, both housed in one frame. One is named Spotted Tail and the other is named Red Cloud with a short biography below each image; Spotted Tail was “known for being a shrewd and calculating warrior and chief” while Red Cloud “orchestrated the most successful war against the United States ever fought by an Indian nation.” Overall condition is fine with the Spotted Tail photo having a pinhole at top. Sold for $1,504.
The following are some additional items we sold:
One of the last surviving relics of the Battle of Little Bighorn, a metal arrowhead measuring 4” long, streaked with yellow war paint which, in Native American culture, symbolizes a willingness to fight to the death. And fight to the death they did; the Native American tribes had a resounding victory at Little Bighorn, killing and wounding over 300 federal troops including General George Custer. Arrowhead was part of the collection of Stella Foote, and then part of the equally impressive Alexander Acevedo collection, who auctioned the piece through Butterfield & Butterfield as part of Lot 113 in their ”Important Custer, Indian War & Western Memorabilia” sale on 4 April 1995. Arrowhead measures 4” long and .75” wide, with a 1” jagged nock at the end. Expected tarnishing but overall in very good condition, fully intact and with yellow war paint still dramatic. Sold for $1,875.
Print signed by Native American ambassador Two Guns White Calf. His profile picture was one of three Native Americans who inspired the composite image for the ”Buffalo Nickel”. Two Guns White Calf sat for this portrait, which was taken in 1927 by photographer T.J. Hileman in Glacier National Park in Montana. Two Guns White Calf signs by pictograph to the 11” x 14.5” printed photo, affixed to a card mat. Toning, and discoloration to margin, easily matted so as not to be visible. Very good. Sold for $750.
