Hi Peter, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. This is arguably one of the most famous American sculptures; it was originally made in 1894 and is still being reproduced today. From the scholarship, this bronze was so popular that Fraser made two limited edition reproductions during his lifetime - a series of 500 and a series of 100, which is what yours is from. The break to the spear is a small flaw that does, unfortunately, affect the value adversely. If you are interested in selling this at auction, I would recommend selling this through an auction house that specializes in Western Art Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: James Earle Fraser (American,1876 - 1953) "End of the Trail" bronze on a green marble socle signed, from a limited edition #53/100 18 inches tall by 22 inches long by 7 inches wide $4,000-6,000* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
