Today's teepee is a very close copy of the one posted yesterday except for its size, which is shorter, and the inclusion tabs meant to plug into a base of some sort. I'm calling them both 'knock-offs' because the patterns - the decorations on the wrap or cover - are the same as those originally done by Payton way back in the '50s. However, somewhere along the line, somebody modified the pattern a slight bit at the top of the teepee by adding a wave pattern. If these had been all new tooling, the identical patterns wouldn't be evident and they wouldn't be classified as 'knock-offs'. I don't know who produced either one of these but they do help in putting together a nice Indian Village at some point in the future. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
