Hi, I'm new to the group, so thanks for allowing me to be a part.
I have several items that have been passed down from my father that I'm curious as to their probable origin and if possible, a value. To better understand, allow me to provide some history. My father was born in Golden Valley, ND and at the age of 5, traveled with his family by covered wagon to Maryland bringing along the two (2) items I will discuss later. There was a verbal history that somewhere on my paternal grandmothers side of the family, a family member supposedly married an Indian maiden named Squawking Bush and that this was the origin of the family obtaining these items.
The first item is a Beaded Buckskin bag, roughly 7 1/4" long and 4 1/2" wide as can be seen in the first 3 pictures.
The second item is a Stone Tomahawk head, roughly 4 7/8" long, 4" wide (at it's widest point), and 1 3/4" thick (at it's thickest point)
Any information on these items would be appreciated.
Thanks
