    1900s LOT Improved Order Red Man Indian NA 27 MC Lilley SACHE's salesman factory design samples
    This is quite a rare find. This collection comes from a MC Lilley archive of things before they fully acquired Ames Manufacturing. I don't think they are 1800s made so am assuming early 1900s. There are 27 things shown including all of the sache's and the beaded necklace and also a box of loose beads and then a later issued catalog from another company for the Red Man stuff they could buy. A couple of the sache's have #s on them and words. I think these could have been salesman samples factory designs to show the designs off or could have been used as templates to show workers how something would look when done. Either way these are possibly the only samples that exist and is a great collection. Condition is old with wear as seen. A few have loose & missing beads with a couple of them having a loose thread so beads came off a string which I just put them in the box. I'd think collectors would want them individually which right now I am keeping them together as lot since that was the way they were found in a box. Size wise they are all smaller than the catalog.
    I also feel that Native American collectors would have interest besides Improved Order of Red Man on this lot since it is 100% Original & old & historical.
