CINCINNATI – Hindman’s September 9 Native American Art auction will feature a strong selection of material from the Eastern Woodlands and Great Lakes area, highlighted through the estate of Robert Streett of St. Louis, Missouri.

Additionally, Navajo textiles and early Mexican saltillos will be offered from the collection of Warren Ehrlich. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
Some of the most notable objects from the estate of Robert Streett are in the categories of weaponry and smoking paraphernalia, highlighted by a Western Great Lakes decorated gunstock club, crafted from maple and estimated at $15,000-$25,000; and a mid-19th-century Algonquin ball club with mystical imagery, estimated at $10,000-$15,000.
