Cast bronze totem poles signed Help ID

Good morning all,
Rainy day here in good ole Washington, buy enjoying the quiet.
Quality cast bronze, 18.75" tall. Signed HSF and on front FNB 40.
I am probably keeping one and selling the other, I haven't decided yet.
Oh it's a sickness.

 

komokwa ???

 

With no real base and the holes on the back , I'm thinking they could have been side by side door pulls.
The FNB 40 , may be the clients year marker...... anniversary...ect , as it's very unusual to have that cast into the pole. Mostly you's find that on a plaque , on the base.....but I doubt these were ever meant to be free standing..
I'll look into HFS.....

The design is well enuf laid out that I suspect a 1st nations hand was involved.... but the casting company was likely not.

I'll ...off the cuff say..... circa 1975....... give or take.....
later, a known artist would likely have his name on it......... earlier , and the design would probably not be as good !!
( but I could be off here...)

Nice poles....!!

From where??
rural or city ?

 

FNB comes up as a battery or a bank....& while I can see these on a banks front doors........????????????

 

Yeah I got the same. I would bet the FN stands for First Nation?

 

Stunners Cookie ! You keep finding the stuff I should be getting.

 

Those are very cool. They don’t look to be handled/touched or used alot. But maybe from the door handles of a Native American themed casino?

hfs........possible connection..??

First Nation band 40........?
could be worth a look..

 

I think you are correct. Was designed for a First Nation Band council building somewhere.

 

Probably need to find a better place for them.... lol

 

they look happy for now !!!!!
