Default Cigar Store Indians

I love cigar store indians--all cigar store figures for that matter. I've loved them as far back as I can remember. Do you have one? Does your B&M? Does your antique or junk shop? How about a pic? Or a link? I'd love to see what you've got regardless of condition. Please post it here. Thanks!

Thumbs up Re: Cigar Store Indians

Thanks for posting pics, fellas. Where/how did you get 'em?

As for the Seinfeld one, someone behind the scenes at that show must've been a cigar smoker. Cigars--and apparently cigar store indians--were featured semi-frenquently.

My parents bought me mine for a gift but they said they found it on ebay.

We have a little guy that's usually in our office, but he's in storage right now while we're getting ready to move.
I know I posted a pic of him before in one of our "cigar indian" threads.

There are a lot of them on eBay, all different sizes. Some pretty cool ones, including the guy that created the Indian for the Cheers Bar (on the show) that still will hand carve them in that style.
