How much is this Hiawatha bust worth? I have lately received a Hiawatha bust at a rummage sale for a mere $4. I have done a little exploration and found more online, numerous on ebay from a couple hundred dollars all the way to closely 2,000 dollars. However, it seems that not a single soul has bid on them. Is it in truth worth that much? Here is a link to a picture that seems to be the precise same as mine, only mine is in much better condition. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=hiawatha+bust&hl=en&gbv=2&biw=1680&bih=987&tbm=isch&tbnid=2TfzqfT_Zua5hM:&imgrefurl=http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTIQUE-CIGAR-STORE-INDIAN-HIAWATHA-BUST-CHALKWARE-/360315016108&docid=MrDhv_7YX_FzJM&w=600&h=800&ei=w1xYTt-RKcSDtgfJsaSMDA&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=393&page=1&tbnh=170&tbnw=126&start=0&ndsp=47&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:0&tx=61&ty=68 I'd say less than a hundred bucks. Less on line. You'll detect that the ones with the higher asking prices attribute them to a specific maker or are providing more prominent figures than a bust. As for condition, it is chalkware, but the rule with collectible kitsch is a sharp drop in price for anything that isn't mint. |
