[QUOTE="gimbler-dave, post: 37440, member: 313"]Thanks all for your comments. I did some further checking on the history of the item. It belonged to the aunt of our customer, and she had it for many years, so it was definitely not a newly acquired piece. I suspect the label is real, based on komokwa's observations, plus the missing material from the front which looks like silverfish (or similar insect) damage. When I list it, I plan to leave it on, since it will raise issues to try to remove it (e.g. damage to the underlying surface, residue, etc). Thank you Taupou for repeating your post. I haven't had that same technical problem, but I do see that even if I check the box to remain logged in, sometimes I find that I've been logged out. Did you happen to see the final price that your first example sold for (I can only see the 400 start / 500-2000 estimate). I'm not sure how to price this, but the comparables I see so far seem to suggest it should be a 500 to $1000 item. Again, thanks all. This is the first Hopi piece I've worked on, and the comments and observations have helped tremendously. Dave[/QUOTE]
