FINE ANTIQUE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN GREEN RIVER TOOL & QUILLED HIDE SHEATH NR!
I will be selling a good number of interesting antiques including Tribal art, Chinese and European antiques. PLEASE NOTE: This auction is in GB Pounds Sterling.This is a very old and well used antique 5 pin Green River skinning tool complete with quilled hide sheath with strong design. The... tool is certainly older than the sheath but both came together from the Dr. Alan Black collection. On a label attached he estimates the sheath to date to the 1950s. The last photo of the group shows it with other fine pieces from the same collection which I will be selling separately.***I usually ship from the UK but am posting from Belgium this time and so it may be possible for me to find more reasonable shipping options (using DPD or similar) depending on your location so please don't hesitate to get in touch for a quote and I will do what I can.***It is my policy not to end standard auctions early with a 'buy it now' and at the end of an auction I will not make second chance offers. Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details - most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don't find what you are looking for. Condition & Dimensions
Very good overall condition. The tool is very worn and extremely well used and the sheath has one or two areas of old insect damage but this doesn't notice very easily. Please see photos.The tool is about 18cms long and the sheath 21cms long (not including the tassles).
Postage & Packing
I will be posting from Belgium from TUESDAY 7th JULY so please make payment as early as possible, ideally within 3 working days. PLEASE be a little patient with the post - I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, have a large amount to post and I do pack carefully. I also post in the order that things are paid for.Any delays by the postal services either at my end or abroad are rarely my fault. I always post out at the latest 3 working days after receiving cleared payment but sometimes an item is slowed up by a backlog of post or delayed whilst being processed through customs. To give you an idea it generally takes about 3-7 working days within Europe and 7 - 14 working days to the U.S. / rest of the world. If speed is of the essence then I can use a courier but prices for couriers start at around £30 / £40GBP for the very smallest object and VERY quickly escalate depending on size, weight and destination. I add on very little, often not enough to cover the packaging materials, so the price I quote really is as fair as possible.

In the event of a recorded/traceable and insured item going missing in the post I will do everything in my power (provide proof of postage and evidence of value, etc.) to assist in obtaining a full refund from the postal service involved.
