Wooden American Indian Totem

Wooden Indian Totem . .. 40" Tall

The cigar store Indian or wooden Indian is an advertisement figure in the likeness of a Native American, used to represent tobacconists. The figures are often three-dimensional wooden sculptures several feet tall – up to life-sized. They are still occasionally used for their original advertising purpose, but are often seen as decorations or advertising collectibles, with some pieces drawing sales prices of thousands of dollars.
