Lot 1021 Sioux Hide Scraper.
Made of re-purposed iron,11 1/4" length. The scraper's end widened into a fan with grooves. Covered in hide, appears to be buffalo with wrist loop. Native American hide scrapers/fleshers were often made from re-purposed gun barrels in the 1700-1900's, a very necessary tool for turning hides into soft clothing. 19th century, finish is a brown patina. It is the same same style and configuration of known Sioux examples.
