Rare 1930s WPA Museum Extension Project Diorama-Erie Making Snowshoes
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, President Franklin D. One of the programs was the WPA (Works Progress Administration) which was a Pennsylvania state based program. The Pennsylvania Museum Extension Project employed thousands of artists and artisans to create visual aids for use in the classrooms. The works included costume plates, prints, puppets, lantern slides, architectural models, dioramas, puzzles, maps to mention a few. The Erie Diorama No. Is one of these models set against a painted background inside a wooden box designed with a hinged top that opens, allowing natural light to illuminate the diorama. The front window and inner roof of the box are glass. The inner glass has one corner cut out to accommodate a wooden prop (missing) that holds the lid up. The figures in this diorama are undamaged, bright and colorful. The background is a curved piece of paper board that is painted to create the panoramic setting for the village scene. The wooden box measures approximately 12.5 by 9.5 by 8.5 in height. The interior is in great condition. The painted black box has some paint loss and the label is rough. Please review the photographs to help confirm the condition. This is one of three WPA dioramas that I will be listing in the future. The diorama weights approximately eight pounds. The item “Rare 1930s WPA Museum Extension Project Diorama-Erie Making Snowshoes” is in sale since Tuesday, September 1, 2020. This item is in the category “Antiques\Ethnographic\Native American”.

RARE 1930s ERA ANTIQUE NAVAJO MONGWA KACHINA with STAND LARGE NATIVE AMERICAN
RARE 1930s ERA ANTIQUE NAVAJO MONGWA KACHINA w/ STAND LARGE NATIVE AMERICAN. This is a very rare find. This is an antique Navajo kachina hand-carved out of cottonwood representing the Great Horned Owl Kachina, Mongwa. This kachina has been dated to around the 1930s by Mark Bahti of Bahti Indian Arts of Tucson and Santa Fe, paperwork will be included. The paperwork from Mark Bahti constitutes a professional analysis of the kachina, tribe and materials. This rare kachina falls into the Navajo folk art category. That being said, it is an incredible piece. This antique Native American, Mongwa kachina stands approximately 10-1/2″ tall in the stand, approximately 9-3/4″ tall out of the stand, approximately 4″ wide across the body, 7″ wide across the carved wings at the top of the head. The body of this kachina is approximately 3 deep at the one complete arm. One of the arms is missing. Also, the nose and arm have been repaired and glued back together. Bahti feels it was painted with an old style of poster paint. This kachina has a few stains, some splits in the wood, scratches and some rub to it, but in spite of that, it is in remarkably good condition for a kachina that is nearly 100 years old. It is wearing a woven wool skirt, some type of woolen yarn for a sash around its waist, a suede cape, some sort of dyed string around its neck for a ruff and some very old feathers wrapped together for a headdress. It was originally designed to be hung by the neck as traditional Hopi kachinas are, but I have included a stand for your convenience. It can be displayed either way. This rare kachina would be an outstanding addition to any Western or Native American collection! Don’t forget to take a look at our other sales for more unique items.

Old Rare 1930s Fred Harvey Era Navajo Heavy Turquoise Sterling Ring Size 11.75
This is a wonderful early 1930s old Fred Harvey era sterling ring with old American vintage turquoise. Anyone that knows what to look for realizes this is the real deal. This is old silverwork with a true old stone with just a gorgeous antique appearance all over this gem! This ring and stone are the real deal and these beautiful authentic handmade pieces are getting harder to come by as they are being bought up, and the newer ones are massed produced any more these day. Unless you are having a top artist do the work you just cant hardly find them like this very often. This is no dinky ring, its a heavy 27 grams and is thick and tall. Its an 11.75 finger size. This nice patina turquoise cab is shadowboxed into this heavy sterling ring with old Navajo stamping on the ring shank. The ring was tufa stone cast and the setting and panels were then applied. The small corner crack looks like it happened long ago and the stone is perfectly stable! Two crossing arrows are part of the stamped shank. On the back of the ring is a shiny area where I had it tested for sterling. Other than that you can decide to clean or leave original patina. This would be a wonderful everyday wear to add to your collection. Looks even better in person!
