Early Rare Crow Indian Pipe Tomahawk Forged Spontoon Head Gun Barrel Bowl 1780
The pipe tomahawk is in excellent condition with no repairs or damage. Spontoon style head patterned after the pike heads of the Spanish Conquistadors and explorers. Nice head forged from the barrel of a gun. Octagonal barrel and rifling inside. Looking closely, you will see the seam where the hardened bit was forged in to the shoulder of the tomahawk, commonly called a lap weld or lap seam. A good sign of authenticity and age. Walnut wood haft is original to the head. The brass tacks are original old square shank tacks. All along the haft are many ceremonial file branding marks made by placing a file or rasp in the fire until it was bright red and then burning the file into the haft. This was done for aesthetic “looks” and ceremonial purposes. There is a drilled hole for attaching drops or beads. The head is ever so slightly loose, the result of the wood drying and shrinking over the course of 170 years. A hide or leather gasket is seen between the eye and head. VERY NICE patina all over, really shows its age! The unusual style head is very desirable. Conservatively dated to 1780 but may be earlier. The haft of the tomahawk is measuring 21.5″ long and the head is measuring about 8.5″ long. Please ask any questions you may have. Thank you so much for looking!

Parallel with a spike published in “American Indian Tomahawks, “. Peterson (#74) see photo of plate. Description: Symetrically flaring blade. The eye is a pointed elipse. The ears are symetrical. Note: I do not know if this listed example was found in Connecticut. Further details: The surface of the metal is nicely patinated with minimal. Several wear marks do occur in the surface of the metal. There is no re-sharpening of the bit. The edge has one or two spots of. Roughness which does not distract from its appearance. The poll is octagonally chamfered. The haft is very old. The tightening shims in the eye reflect great age. I do not know. How far back the haft goes, but it could be original. There are three very small holes. In the haft which. Appear to have been drilled in modern. Times to use for attaching something. A prior owner fancied it up with a beaded drop, but that it was removed. I’ve had it in my collection. For years and don’t know. MEASURES: bottom of haft to top of bit: 12 3/4 inches. End of poll to edge of bit: 5 inches. Bit: 3 1/8 inches. Poll: 1 3/8 inches. The distinction between a “poll hatchet” and a poll tomahawk is often a matter of debate. I have nothing against poll hatchets and have a fine example of one currently listed. But here’s what makes this a tomahawk, and primarily a weapon of Native Americans. (not British or French soldiers). The military French and British Tomahawk styles. Are pretty well known because they were made in large numbers. This is not like any of theirs. Which had shorter polls, more efficient for hammering nails, and tended to have their top. Edge form a straight line front to back, for ease in lathing strips of wood. I may ask for a mutually agreed. The item “AUTHENTIC Ca. 1750 NATIVE AMERICAN FINE POLL TOMAHAWK/ EARLY HAFT. RARE STYLE” is in sale since Thursday, November 21, 2019.

Very Rare Antique (massive) Sioux Tomahawk, 18th to 19th century Indian Wars
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.

Such axes are rare, as they were made in small numbers and only used by a small handful of tribes along the upper Missouri River basin. This example shows a blacksmith hand-forged iron exceptionally large size Axe Head. The huge head is decorated with deeply filed lines over the poll, plus molding sat the base of the blade. Punched dots form a cluster at the base of the blade and borders along its front and back, as well as around the piercings. The surface of the metal shows a nice patina. These piercing consist of a heart in the center and two sunbursts, one at the leading edge and one at the heel. The wooden haft is plain, It is pierced for a thong. The bison leather thong is present and in very good condition(But the thong is quite possibly a modern imitation). This is truly an excellent and early tomahawk that has been photographed and published in the book AMERICAN INDIAN TOMAHAWKS 1971 by HAROLD L PETERSON On page number 185, figure number 51. An almost identical Axe is in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History. Collected from the Osage. The axe measures 22.5 L overall with an axe head that is 9 L by 5.5 W of thin forged iron. The Axe is overall in very good condition consistence with the age.
