circa 1860-1870 silver pewter and catlinite pipestone inlaid bi-point stone head war club with buffalo hide wrapped handle from the Northern Plains tribes, collected in by railroad worker Gus Singel in Montana circa 1880-1900; ex-Museum collection. The piece exhibits a bi-point carved stone head war club with polished ends and stippled central finish.
The ends are inlaid with a band and four five-point stars all in silver pewter with a central diamond of catlinite pipestone inlaid at the center. The head has a full groove carved with drilled bottom and is wrapped in Great American Bison Buffalo hide parfleche rawhide with a wood handle wrapped in more bison buffalo parfleche hide with sinew sewing and a wrist throng end. The entire club has an amazing deep patina from honest age and use. Provenance: From the renowned collection of Gustav Singel (1837-1923), also called Gus Singel, who was a railroad worker in Montana.
Gus Singel assembled a wonderful collection of Native American antiques between circa 1880-1900 while working on the railroad in Montana. He moved from Montana to New York and his collection has been passed down through the family. Later donated to a Museum in Montana in the mid-1900’s which was later closed. Very well kept with a repair on one point, normal dings, scratches and wear. 25 3/4"L, head 7"L x 2 1/4" across center
