[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 86126, member: 55"]Another example of how internet research can mislead is the seller of a totempole signed K, who decided it must be by Kevin Cranmer, because it looks "just like his work." That is like saying "it is a vase, so it must be Tiffany." There are better ways to sell something one is not sure of; and for Native American items (though Cranmer is not American) it is illegal to even suggest that an item "might" be native-made, though that part of the law is often overlooked. This seller has two poles by this maker, with whom I am not familiar; here's one.
