I wonder what one that is not "folded, stapled, or mutilated" (in other words not dented and scratched) would go for? This herald was nice, but a long way from being one worth $8500 IMHO. Good news for the seller, but if somebody wants to pay the price....it is worth it for somebody! Nice auction.

So how many of these Indian head emblems were there in total? 2 for each PA plus two for each (or just some?) E unit? Say 100 to 125 or so in total? I've seen about 6 or 7 of these over the years.

I had a chance to buy a near mint condition one for $900 when I was in grad school. Decided instead that my wife and I should eat for the next 3 months ;-).

I saw eBay, $8500.00, and immediately thought of "cheeseheaddad"......

I had a chance to steal one (or more) off an E-3 in Argentine Yard in 1967, but I didn't have a screwdriver with me... :-)

Liberate sounds better.

Yeh, that's the ticket! It FELL off. Yeh. :-) I saw a bunch of the PAs in the scrap line in Chicago in 1969, but I don't recall whether they still had their "Indian Heads" or not.
