[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4605333, member: 1136"]I got these guys at one of those estate sales with the "home made" signs on the side of the road about a year or 2 ago.. (I find these the most fun to stop at :couchpotato:) [ATTACH=full]409350[/ATTACH] The owner was not present at the sale, but I looked him up and he is now almost 90 (I think I recall a family member being there and saying he went to a nursing home). There wasn't too much in there, just small items LITTERED throughout, a lot of it was items like these, nothing marked with a price :rolleyes: Not knowing how that was going to go and with one (impatient) son in the car and the other needing to be picked up from practice shortly I grabbed a couple vintage pins, some clay marbles, these 3 guys, and a sterling bell for the whopping price of $7. If my son wasn't texting me from the car reminding me it was time to go, I would have gone back for more :sour::D There were more carvings like these, but again, not knowing prices up front I was hesitant to get many because I didn't have time to dicker... I dont see any signatures on these. From what I can tell there is a ram, a bear? (With a flipped up tail?), and a badger or fox? I plan on selling these pieces, and am trying to keep from offending anyone, so my questions are, are these true Zuni pieces? Would you call them fetishes or carvings? Any other information?
