Blackfoot chief (1872–1934) best known for the durable though still-controversial claim that he served as one of models for sculptor James Earle Fraser in creating the composite Native American portrait on the ‘Buffalo’ nickel. Vintage 3.25 x 5.25 postcard photo, signed in black ink with his three-character pictogram of two rifles and a horned calf. Reverse bears a collector’s notation of provenance which states “I really saw this man to-night and asked him to write his name on this card. A good looking Indian in full dress. It is his picture on the U. S. nickel. July 24, 1929.” In fine condition, with mild silvering to darker areas of image and background.
