For sale is a solid wood carved 60" cigar store Indian. She is a wonderful accent piece. Her history? I don't know. She is NOT newly made. She reportedly came from a tobacconist shop in NYC that opened during the Depression. This is the oral history that accompanied her and I have no documentation. But examining her you can tell that she's not the mass produced crap that is sold online all the time. She is nicely carved and has patina to the wood and the paint. She even sports a Mona Lisa smile of sorts. Not ferocious looking at all. She must be local pick up unless the buyer wants to arrange their own shipping. I will assist with that, but it would be the buyer's responsibility. NC residents add sales tax.
