WILMINGTON - “This is the first time with something like this,” says White Wolf Auctions’ Bob Lambert of a recent find. The stories of unique discoveries in his work abound, he says, “but this is by far the furthest-reaching.” The “this” is a Native American bridal robe said to have been worn by a Native American chief’s daughter in 1880 in Alaska.
