Potlatch Helmet

From the estate of Bruce Boles.Thispieceleft hiscollectionin 1973. The original1973 price tag states it was carved by what looks like,"J.B.b."(?). We did not cut-out the original price paid but believe it was $500.00, so, sometime prior to 1973,Mr. Boles also paid $500.00. It's been suggested this is a carving by Ivan Otterlifter (1936-1999) if so, it's one of Otterlifter's very few (possibly only 3?) helmets.Shipping will be $4.95 to any U.S. address ($8.00 foreign).

Pic 4 in our series above (not included) is a 1972 Sitka Sentinel advertisement that we found online. Boles was ironically selling his collection out of the "Potlatch Motel"! :o)Boles appears in several other 1970s West Coast newspapers as a philanthropist, collector and carver.
