#45 Montpelier, IN – Indian

Image

International Fiberglass made three kinds of Native American you could order. One was a brave with a bare chest and normally one or 2 feathers and a serious face. This version seems to be the more common today. IMG_20120502_083735The second was almost the same but actually had a different head mold with a fierce facial expression and a full headdress. Other then the head both versions are the same from the neck down. The third came with a necklace and a tomahawk and a few other differences and is the most rare out of the three. One of the Chief versions can be found in the small town of Montpelier, IN and he has lived here since January of 1984 and his history and how he got here and where he came from is fascinating.

#28 Powder Springs, GA M Man

A International Fiberglass American Indian Brave version stands at McEachern high school in Powder Springs, GA and he has been here for at least 51 years. I’ve heard a few versions of his history and there are some conflicts between Buckhead and Marietta Georgia as his previous location but we do know that he stood at a Pontiac dealership at one of these towns from the late 60’s to the early 70’s before being purchased by the McEachern class of 1973. When they graduated they gave him to the school as a class gift and he as been standing on a tall pole behind the bleachers ever since.
