This is an excellent scarcely seen style of 19th Century Prairie Native American Indian gunstock spontoon war club tomahawk from the ex-collection of Cyrus Eaton of London, England. The war club features a gunstock shape in a smaller size with large spontoon forged blade, a style that has been previously documented as being attributed to the American Indian tribes in the Prairie Region such as the Sauk & Fox, Otoe and Winnebago. Other smaller gunstock war clubs with large spontoon blades and green paint have been documented as shown in the lots pictures for representation. The club shows a wood carve gunstock shape with old green paint and brass trade tacks along with four cutout circles of pewter led hammer flat and placed at the head of the club on each side. At the front shows the forged iron spontoon pike blade with notch-cut back, blacksmith finished hammering and dark coloring inset into the club. Some of the green paint is lost at the edges and gripping area. At the base shows a pierced hole holding a braided wrap of Indian tanned hide used as a wrist throng also showing a green paint. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Cyrus Eaton a wealthy collector out of London, England. The club measures 18”L with an additional 6.5”L leather wrist throng. The club is also 10.5”W with a blade that is 4.5”L by 2”W.
