Rare Early 17th Century Axe Found in Indiana
This European Fighting Axe was found in a field along the Wabash River between a French trading post and the Tippecanoe battlefield. That doesn’t mean that it had anything to do with either. I’m just sayin’. Anyway this is a very cool artifact. It is definitely very old. I now have new information from an expert. Apparently it is a battle-axe of a type originally from Eastern Europe (Hungarian or Polish) ca 1600.
Stone Elbow Pipe
This pipe was purchased by my father at a relic show in Indiana in the 60’s. It has a hairline crack on both sides of the bowl but seems still sturdy and is otherwise in great shape. It was possibly Native American or possibly a trade item.

Beautiful Corner Notch Point
This is a beauty. I think it is a Thebes Corner Notch. It is thin, serrated, beveled on the left side and ground on the base. It has amazing patina throughout and a fine tip.
Flint Ridge Flake Knives / Bladelets
Here is a colorful group of thin flake knives or bladelets. The ancient Native Americans made them to be used for cutting. They are as sharp as a scalpel when they are made. This technology was used beginning in Paleo times. The longest is 2-1/4″ in length.
Small Double Sided Mortar and Pestle
Here is a very nice and well used small mortar and pestle. It is hard to see the indentations on both sides of the mortar in the photos. The centers are about 1/4″ lower on the working areas. There is a nice polish from use in the middle of both sides and the outer edges still show the pecking from being shaped. This is a great and unusually small example. It was possibly made to be portable. The pestle was found a couple years later in the same field. That doesn’t necessarily mean they were ever a pair but they do seem to fit each others contour. The pestle has a nutting divot on it’s working side and has pecking from rough shaping still present. It also has a nice smoothing on the bottom from use. They display very well together.
Gorgeous Banded Stilwell
The material on this beauty is unbelievable. I’ve not seen it before . It is very colorful and banded almost like petrified wood. This point was part of a group of artifacts purchased at a museum auction near Xenia Ohio in the early 1970’s.

Civil War Medal – 76th Illinois Regiment
This 150+ year old metal is a museum quality Civil War Relic. It is from the 76th Infantry Regiment of the Illinois Volunteer Union Army based out of Kankakee, Illinois. The 76th was mustered Aug. 22nd 1862 and had a long history in the Civil War including fighting under General Grant at several locations such as the seige of Vicksburg. It also fought under General Sherman at Jackson Mississippi where it lost 102 men, 16 of which were left on the field. The 76th fought in the last major battle of the war at Fort Blakely Alabama where it helped capture an intire Confererate garrison and suffered heavy lossed. Unfortunately that battle was fought hours after Lee had already surrendered The regiment then traveled to Chicago where it was disbanded on August 6,1865. Over 250 men were killed in battle and by disease it their 3 year tenure. I am sure this is worth much more than my asking price.
