<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Politically Collect, post: 9420220, member: 80709&quot;]I found this pestle/Maul at a Flea Market years ago. I&#039;ve showed it to a diverse range of &quot;experts&quot; and virtually all of them thought it was a very old and original authentic piece. I sent photographs to an Auction House and they thought it may very well be Northwest Coast and estimated its auction value at $300-$500 and that they&#039;s be happy to include it in one of their auctions. For what it&#039;s worth, several years ago I contacted Anthony Slater-Ralph from the PBS Antiques Roadshow (link above) who did the PBS appraisal and he replied rather quickly. I searched my emails for his reply with no success so I can&#039;t quote him exactly, however it was his opinion that the Pestle was probably an authentic piece but some knucklehead (paraphrasing) had Carved/Scratched the markings in the Tip of the Pestle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
