Indian Chief Motif Porcelain Humidor, American, circa 1900
Located in Incline Village, NV
Fine quality hand painted porcelain humidor is in excellent all original condition with no chips, repairs, or overpaint; nice bright crisp paint and detail. No mark, but definitely American, circa 1900 era. Note the detail to the Indian's face and his elaborate headdress. Native American Indians were especially attracted to tobacco and related products and relished the opportunity to pose for pictures on that topic; note cigar store "Indians", match safes, and humidors. This is a very desirable and item of tobacciana with the Indian subject matter and the attractive multicolored hand painted Indian chief with headdress, probably of note but I have not been able to accurately identify him; quite possibly "Big Bow" an Indian warrior who has been identified on other similar objects.

Sterling Silver Native American Indian Motif "Note Holder" American, Circa 1880
Located in Incline Village, NV
Very rare and unusual piece, a sterling silver "note holder" fronted by an Indian Chief on the front in high relief. A bale on top provides for a necklace and hanging as a decorative piece of jewelry. Other decoration on the front includes a tomahawk and a peace pipe criss-crossed beneath the Indian. The back is plain with a decorative "repousse" floral border, and "sterling" clearly marked in the lower left (see image). It is 2 7/8" high x 2" wide resembling and in the style of a match safe; probably manufactured by Unger Bros. of Newark, New Jersey, circa 1880, but difficult to observe all of the surfaces because of the frontal "notes" in permanent place. A note holder would have been used to write down reminders and/or notations by the user; the surfaces appear to be a celluloid type material. Condition is excellent with six notes intact; a very slight "crease" to the back side; hardly noticeable (see image).
Appropriate Americana for the discerning collector with a Western Native American...

Navajo Indian Turquoise and Silver Bolo Tie, circa 1960s
Located in Incline Village, NV
This is the Cadillac of the bolo tie as depicted by the Southwest Indians. Handcrafted by Navajo Indian Jim Yazz, circa 1960s, this silver bolo tie has four large irregular hand-cut turquoise stones measuring 3/4" and two smaller round stones set in a pie crust surround depicting eyes of the Indian. There are also two smaller stones on the front of the dress of the Indian on the matching pair of 1 3/4" drum like ornaments hanging beneath the main subject. The main subject Indian with six stones, is 3 5/8" high x 2 1/4" wide.
The drum like ornament with accompanying silver spear ornament is 4 1/2" overall. It is marked “Jim Yazz” who was a Navajo Indian jewelry maker and worked only in silver and turquoise, indicating it is probably silver. The piece is unmarked, albeit a “518” mark appears on the main figure.
The braided black leather "string like" necklace is 20" around, measured above the subject Indian.
The back of the bolo is embossed on the clasp "BENNETT PAT. PEND.", indicating the possible clasp patent of Navajo Indian silversmith, Raymond Bennett, who is listed in "Barton Wright's "Hallmarks of The Southwest".
The value is in the craftsmanship and aesthetics, not whether or not it’s silver.
