Massive South Dakota Indian Relic Collection

[mel hanson]

If you have a passion for Indian Artifacts, I hope you'll check out http://www.loitwoodrelics.com ! My late grandparents, Howard & Kathryn Loitwood of Gettysburg, SD, hunted Indian relics in South Dakota between 1925 and 1967 and amassed the most amazing collection of Arikara Artifacts that will blow you away. Years later, my parents, Bernie and Diana Webb of Gettysburg, SD, mounted only the good artifacts on about 70 boards. We believe this amazing family collection is likely the largest private Indian relic collection in the nation...if there's a bigger one, we haven't heard of it. Just recently, my Dad (Bernie Webb) and my Uncle ("Tick" Loitwood) divided the collection, and they are now planning to sell their share of the collection on their own.

If you're interested in my Uncle Tick's collection, you can go to http://www.loitwoodrelics.com website. To contact my Dad, Bernie Webb, about the other half of the collection, you can email him at bwebb@venturecomm.net

Per the request of some of you, we have now hyperlinked all of the pictures of the relic boards on the loitwoodrelics.com website, so you can now get a picture perfect look at each of these amazing boards. Just double click on the boards you're interested in.
I made http://www.loitwoodrelics.com website for my Uncle Tick and Aunt Barb, and it is dedicated to my late grandparents, Howard & Kathyrn Loitwood, and my mother, the late Diana Webb.

This sale is going to depress the market. Amazing.

Not really.
I haven’t missed many auctions these guys have held in the dakotas and Minnesota the last 12 years. Heck, it’s where most of my collection has come from. I know several of the regulars that will be there. Not saying there will be no dealers there, but of those I know or know something about, I only know of one who is a regular seller. The majority by far are guys who will buy nice stuff building their collections. Then there are a few that will buy most of the best pieces building their collections.. Little will actually hit the market after imho.
But I sure could see a dealer loading up on bone awls.

I surely hope it does not affect the market...my apologies.

An amazing looking collection, I wish I could make it but can't make the flights work.

But I know someone who is going and will figure out a way to see if he can pick some stuff up for me.
