Native American Ear Spool
This is a very rare artifact. It as worn on the earlobe that was pierced to allow this to slide into place and held in place by the small grove. It is fashioned from a speckeled hardstone and is highly polished. The front side is rounded and very symmetrical. The back side has been flattened and is more oblong. Between the front and the back is a small grove on its entire circumference. This is a great example of Native American artwork and fashion.
Rare Miniature Hand Carved 1873 Colt Revolver
This is a very rare carving. What makes it rare is the age, the size and the highly skilled craftsmanship. It was carved out of a single piece of wood with detail and precision. It is absolutely unbelievable that someone could have carved this by hand with it being so delicate and not to have broken it in the process. It also has tiny metal pins in it for added detail. It takes a magnifying loop to appreciate the work.
Revolutionary War Era Powder Horn
Revolutionary War era powder horn in great condition. Hand carved wooden end cap with square nail construction. Missing the wooden plug. It is solid and well made. It has great overall patina and mineral deposits making it a great display piece.
1691 Treasure Chest
This is an awesome one of a kind chest. It is more of a relic than an antique. Three initials and the date are cut out of the fancy metal work under the lock.(see the photos) The wood is in surprisingly good solid shape for being 333 years old but areas of the leather are in poor condition or missing. The lock is broken but it looks like that was done in the 1700’s judging from the patina on the break. The hinges and massive iron handles all work fine with no rust and heavy patina. This chest is large and has a great presence about it. It should be in a museum but in the right place this one of a kind chest would make a great conversation piece. It measures 44″ long x 22″ deep x 24″ tall. It needs to be somewhere it is appreciated and preserved. This is your chance to own an unusual piece of Americana. I can NOT offer free shipping on this but it is in northern Illinois so let’s talk.

The pendant measures 2-1/2″ x !-1/2″. This entire piece has excellent patina and use wear. It makes an awesome display.

Rare Effigy Stone
Here is an amazing find. I still remember my father’s excitement as he showed it to me proudly declaring that my uncle had “walked right over it”. They were looking for arrowheads together in Ohio when my dad saw it in my uncles row of beans and of course the younger brother never let him hear the end of that. It apears to me that the head and ears were shaped by pecking and polishing. Then eyes were carved into the head. I’m not sure of exactly what it is except really cool. It remains highly polished with heavy patina. There may also be some Red Ochre staining on the back.

Ohio Pendant That Glitters In The Sunlight
This is an amazing artifact. The photos don’t show it but the banded red slate has tiny flakes of mica throughout which causes the piece to sparkle in the light. It has a single hole that was drilled from one side making it probably from the Mound Builder Culture. It is very well made, symmetrical and highly polished. It also has awesome patina. There is an ancient nick on the side that appears to have been there from when it was made. The wear in the nick shows it was used long after the nick happened. This is an awesome piece. You will be amased by the glitter, If not you can always return it. I will try to get a better sunlight picture.

Antique Baseball Mitt / Glove
This is an awesome Baily and Himes ball glove. This one is from the days of the baseball greats. The lack of a web and finger laces tell how old it is. It is in good condition with no rips or tears in the leather. It has normal use wear and the strap is in good shape. The leather remains soft and pliable but probably could use some oil. It even fits my big hand. This one is man cave material and worthy of top shelf display.
Beautiful Cash River Point
This is a beautifully made point using very high quality material. It is highly beveled thin with a nicely ground base. There is a small nick on one ear but the overall quality makes up for that.
