Cause I just dug out My original Cherokee Indian Reservation Tomahawk, and I'm a tellin ya all right now Ya'll better tread lightly . This vintage piece dates clear back to the ol days of '59 (1959 that is) & has taken many a scalp of ***** & Settler, cause I turned into a Renagade Cherokee when I came into possession of this awesome weapon at the age of 6, and I was on the warpath !! .
You really have no idea of what devasting havoc a 6 yr old redheaded ***** boy brandishing a deadly weapon such as this can have on a community, and just the sight of me with this hawk & my colorful headress just put chills down the spines of everybody I encountered back then. That's right, just as it just did you thinkin' about it...... :shocked2: :rotf:
As you can see, this fine dated specimine has taken so many scalps some of the fake blood is worn off the blade edge & the tip is worn clean off the spike part, and all of the red, yellow, and blue feathers are worn down to nubs. You can also see a dated PC repair that was made in '62 to the lacing on the head to retain it & that also has a nice patina to it. But it does still have the original lead based paint & genuine vinyl lace at the end of the haft that I used to slip my hand into so the hawk didn't slip if I got it all bloody & etc. from raiding & scalping.... :shocked2: Thinking back on that, the ones I left wounded probably died of lead poisoning from that lead paint....... Dang it !!, I wish I had thought of that back in 59 when I was on the warpath, that would have really sent them all scatterin with fear !! :shocked2:
Now before these hundreds of emails & calls start coming in, I'm a tellin ya right now up front, this relic is NOT for sale... I know, I know that is very upsetting to allot of collectors, but there is no way I could part with such a fine piece with such a historic past.
:grin: It is amazing how one lil toy can mean so much to a young feller, & almost 50 years later him end up making the same things from his childhood, tho maybe not as colorful as the first one...... :grin: But to this day when someone mentions a tomahawk, the first thing tht hits my mind is this ol toy from the past......
