<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 4509541, member: 55&quot;]If you like them as kitsch I&#039;m not going to argue, and the one shown might be 50s to 60s; but as far as being made by folks connected to the community one might be a bit cautious or skeptical.&nbsp; In former times (and not much different now) some of the items sold at &quot;trading posts&quot; or as &quot;tourist items&quot; were actually imports with no native connection at all.</p><p>I&#039;m not familiar with the one shown, but one common category dating back to the 50s or 60s I call the &quot;sad-eyed totems&quot; or sometimes &quot;angry-eyed.&quot;</p><p>It was made in Taiwan; and like yours, shows zero stylistic details owing anything to real NW Coast Native art or native totempoles.&nbsp; But if it is cheap and you like it, I can&#039;t argue.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen quite nice kitsch collections of 60s era &quot;Route 66 Kachinas,&quot; many imported; but because they were so commonly sold, could be considered a facet of American history.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]395868[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]395869[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
