Description

Antique Scatterbead Style Awl Pouch With Bone Awl
I INHERITED THIS LOVELY BEADED ITEM FROM MY FATHER WHO RECEIVED IT FROM A RELATIVE AS A GIFT. HE ALSO COLLECTED NATIVE AMERICAN ITEMS. I WILL BE LISTING ANOTHER ITEM I RECEIVED FROM HIM BEFORE HIS PASSING. I HAVE A NUMBER OF FINE ITEMS WHICH THERE ARE NO FAMILY MEMBERS INTERESTED IN RECEIVING.  I AM SELLING NOW DOWNSIZING MY COLLECTION OF SOME 50+ YEARS.
THIS ITEM WAS APPRAISED IN 2017 AND I WILL GIVE THE APPRAISAL AND THE CARD OF THE APPRAISER TO THE BUYER OF ANY OF MY ITEMS TO VERIFY THOSE ESTIMATES.
THE AWL IS TOTALLY COVERED WITH MULTICOLORED GLASS SEED BEADS WITH A FEW MISSING HERE AND THERE BUT HARDLY NOTICEABLE. THERE ARE DYED RED HORSEHAIR TASSELS TOPPED WITH METAL CONES AND TANNED LEATHER STRAPPING HANGING FROM THE END OF THE COVER AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POUCH. THE POUCH AS A SINGLE PIECE MEASURES 6 3/4" LONG. THE BOTTOM TASSEL LENGTH IS 7" AT THE LONGEST LEATHER STRAP. THE TOP COVER MEASURES 3" AND THE TASSEL THERE IS 4 1/2" AT THE LONGEST LEATHER STRAP. THE AWL IS MADE PROBABLY OF BONE BUT MIGHT BE ANTLER. APPRAISER NOT CERTAIN. AWL MEASURES ALMOST 5" AND HAS A VERY FINE POINT ON ONE END. THE INSIDE OF THE POUCH IS HOLLOW BONE  THE BEADS SEEM TO BE STRUNG ON SOME TYPE OF STRING.
I WILL BE PACKING WELL IN A BOX TO SAFELY PROTECT THE PIECE AND WILL HAVE INSURANCE TO COVER THE SELLING PRICE. SHIPPING WILL BE PRIORITY AND WILL BE A FLAT 25.00. I WILL ALSO HAVE TRACKING OF THE PACKAGE.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND ASKING ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I ANSWER HONESTLY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM OFFERING THIS PIECE BELOW THE APPRAISAL FROM 3 YEARS AGO. THANKS FOR LOOKING. IF YOU NEED MORE PHOTOS PLEASE ASK AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO PROVIDE.
