Can anyone help with a possible value on this squash?! It’s 28in and 10oz

Hi, the beads with vertical seams are usually not sterling and the Turquoise looks suspiciously like Gibbsite. I’m sure others will jump in as the see your post.

Which would mean the turquoise ain’t be turquoise 
While the auction house states it’s Lander Blue

Is that Lander Blue?? I very much doubt it.
I personally would not pay $325 plus premium and shipping for it. But maybe I’m completely wrong.

Oh. My. Gosh. Lander Blue?? Riiiight. My first thought was it looks like Gibbsite, and may not even be Native made; also agree with @Islandmomma about the beads. I wouldn’t pay anything for it, because I don’t like their false advertising.

Beyond most given key facts might be wrong, I really dislike the whole design, esp. the “black flowers” around the Lander Glue.
Edit: was again reading the lot description. They don’t even say it’s real silver. They just mention the color “silver”. I feel this was described by someone who has no clue and who is not interested to invest any minute to research.
The artist though really might be the one advertised. The signature looks very similar.

Is it just me, or have some of the pictures disappeared from the squash in the post you linked (for the squash)? I was trying to scroll through the photos to look closely at the mark, and they’re all gone except for the first one. It was there for me a few minutes ago…
Must be my phone, they’re back now. I can’t tell if it’s the same hallmark or not, but I trust Garland’s way more than some random site.

Yeah, could be same, or not.
