I would enjoy hearing from other owners,
collectors or dealers. I am paying excellent
finders fees and I am willing to travel just
about anywhere for the right Indian. Not only
am I interested in Indians with original paint,
but also repainted Indians and those needing
restoration.*

I also collect old original photographs
of Cigar Store Figures .

I would certainly appreciate a confidential no
nonsense opportunity to purchase your
antique 19th century Cigar Store Figure.

For the quickest response/sale please send
a photograph, brief description and price to:

*Due to the increasing number of incorrectly restored
figures, I am usually not interested in purchasing Cigar
Store Figures that have undergone modern professional
re-carving or repainting. Despite what many are led to
believe, a figure that has been repainted almost always
loses value. My love of 19th century Cigar Store Figures
believes in a responsibiltiy of preserving them, not
changing them.
