<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tagsale_notes, post: 13148712, member: 115485&quot;]David, komokwa already settled what it is, so I will just add the money side, since Boland asked about the asking price earlier and nobody came back with numbers. At $60 CAD you did fine, and here is why, with dates and links so you can check the comparisons yourself rather than take my word for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay sold, last 90 days, searching Native American quirt. Five closed:</p><p><br /></p><p>Vintage Nakota Native American elk horn horse whip quirt, sold 16 Aug 2026, $195.00 buy it now</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/335834448787" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/335834448787" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/335834448787</a></p><p>That is the closest one to yours in materials, elk horn with rawhide.</p><p><br /></p><p>Native American quirt, ca. early 1900, sold 30 Jun 2026, $225.00 buy it now</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/146750151069" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/146750151069" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/146750151069</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Prison made hitched horsehair quirt with wrist strap, late 19th to early 20th, sold 2 Jul 2026, $298.95 buy it now</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/326896217238" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/326896217238" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/326896217238</a></p><p><br /></p><p>North Plains wood tacked quirt, auction, closed 15 Sep 2026. I got two different reads on the final price on this one, $138.50 and $150.00, so call it about $140 and look at it yourself</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/298672333664" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/298672333664" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/298672333664</a></p><p><br /></p><p>New dance stick or quirt, powwow regalia, sold 11 Jul 2026, $27.00</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/284181254690" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/284181254690" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/284181254690</a></p><p>Included on purpose, because newly made pieces sell under the same word and they set the floor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Median of those five is $195. Widening the search to just antique quirt gives eight sold and a median of $47.98, but those are braided leather riding quirts at $33 to $51. Plain leather is cheap. What carries value in yours is the elk horn and the age, not the form.</p><p><br /></p><p>So $60 CAD, roughly $43 US, is under every Native American attributed example that closed in the last three months, missing beadwork and all. If you ever want to sell it on, the things that move these are a raking light photo of the ochre traces and anything you can learn about where the shop got it. On this material buyers pay for the story about as much as the object.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
