Authentic 18th century blacksmith forged Indian spike tomahawk. The level of artistry reflects the status of the warrior who carried this hawk. Condition, except for a tiny edge nick on the bit, as shown (exaggerated in the photo). There are expected signs of surface wear, but not much. Overall the deep patina has superficial signs of exposure and oxidation. But retains a lot of original. The very tip of the spike is flattened. Talking about just enough (about one mm across). So it wouldn’t poke through and puncture. Indian horseman carrying it in his belt. Measurement: 8 7/8 inches long. Bit: 3 7/8 inches wide. The item “SUPERB NATIVE AMERICAN 18th CENT.

It is massive with 1.08 kg, a characteristic of the very early tomahawks. The metal head/blade was made by the white blacksmiths (interestingly, the logo on blade looks like “Morning Star”, which is very famous to the Indians), and traded to the Indians either directly or via specialized companies (such as the “American Fur Trade Company”). The tribe of tomahawk should be Sioux (according to its origin when acquired and its adornment). It is a rare find nowadays as it is a very early tomahawk decorated with antique red porcupine quills, and a couple of brass tacks and tin cones. Of note, the antique wooden handle (crude cut from tree branch) appears to have some remains of red/redish color, suggesting it had been tinted in red (with pigments) at one time. All is original and antique on this particularly impressive tomahawk. Size (metal head/blade): 7.48 inches. Overall length of tomahawk: 20.47 inches. Weight of tomahawk: 1.08 kg!

Historically rare early east coast forged Pipe Tomahawk circa 1775 or before. Measures 8 1/4 in length and has an early type of forging. This rare find is one of only a few original pipe tomahawk heads ever found. This item was found in the early 1970’s by Charles Greenman in a junk shop in Long Island, New York. He asked the store owner where it came from and he said a local farmer outside the city brought it in after plowing it up on his farm. Charles eventually gave it to his son Carlos Greenman who still resides in Ojo Caliente Hot Springs in New Mexico. I bought it from Lynn Canterbury in September of this year at a show in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This item was dug decades ago and is truly an American treasure. Belongs in a Museum.
