I bought this Zinc Statue at an antique store and it had a plaque on base stamped COPYRIGHT 1875 BY/ WM, DEMUTH & CO.,/ 501 BROADWAY NEW YORK just like this one at this auction on the link below. Im trying to find out details on it. I showed no history of him creating Native American pipe statues that looked like black people.
