harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 12:19 pm Well folks, this is my latest mystery item. It is a terrible scan since it has such a depth of field, but we'll get started with this and I'll get photos of it this afternoon. At the bottom of the image, it says "RED CLOUD" and there might be someother script that is really hard to make out at about 4 o'clock. The reverse has a signiture but it's super hard to make out other than Dave Ba?h (or something like that). This piece is 3-1/4" wide and between 1/8" (rim) to 1/2" (tip of nose) and supposedly cast sterling silver. Maybe from the 60's. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 12:07 am D! And I was thinking no one would even notice this thread. ;) Good to hear from you. Thanks for the suggestion. You know, one of the really odd things about this piece is that it looks like it had a small stone in the eye(s) of the indian. That makes me think that it was more of an art piece than anything, that and the signature on the back. I'm hoping to get this one tested in the next few days...make sure it's even silver!
