The middle piece in the first photo is the miniature version of the Indian that I have. Even though I described it above as a prototype, I think Mark is correct that it was a salesman sample.
The second photo is a close-up of the remainder of a sticker on the base of the Stanford Potter Indian pictured on the right in the other photo. It reads "Souvenir of Cleveland, Ohio."
I have a few Gibbs Conner pieces that have similar stickers, but this is the only Stanford Pottery statue I've found with one.
Bob, I think these also were marketed as banks, as evidenced by the phrase "The chief not only helps the savers ..." on the point-of-sale tag.
