Thin Southwest Petrified Wood Blade
This is a very thin well made blade. It looks like the base is the original shape of the worked material and doesn’t appear to be broken to me but I could be wrong. This piece was purchased as part of a collection in the 1960’s.
Large Newton Falls
This large point was purchased with a group of artifacts from a flea market in Washington Courthouse, Ohio in the mid 1970’s. The entire group was supposedly found by the sellers grandfather in the 1930’s. They all do appear old and authentic. This one appears to be made of Coshocton Chert.
Carved Stone Game Piece and Shells
These three items were part of a collection purchased in the late 1960’s. They were reportedly found near the Columbia River in Oregon. Each piece shows definite signs of human alterations such as shaping grinding and polishing.
Side Notched Benton
Here is another point from the Mooresville Indiana collection that was purchased in the lats 1960’s. It is nicely patinated and appears to have some basal grinding.
4-1/2 Inch Illinois Liverpool
I believe this is an Illinois Liverpool. That is an Adena culture point that was specific to Illinois. This point was purchased at a farm auction near Old Shawneetown in the early 1970’s. It was the largest point in that collection.

A unusual mushroom shape to this pestle. It fits very ergonomically in the hand.

Discoidal From Illinois– NFS -High Quality Reproduction
This beautifully made discoidal was purchased at auction in the late 60’s and has been in our collection since. A piece like this is not often offered for public sale. But it is not a personal find so I want to check it’s authenticity before selling.
Now the rest of the story…The opinion was that it was a historically made piece. I am glad I didn’t let it get out the door. I guess it could still make a good paperweight.
Giant 3/4 Grooved Axe – NFS Just a High Quality Fake
Weighing in at over 6 LBS this is a beauty. But it is not a personal find so I want to check it’s authenticity before selling. My father purchased it from a farmer in the 60’s who had been using it as a doorstop.
Now the rest of the story…Unfortunately, it has been determined that this is not ancient but of historic manufacture. I guess I will now use it as a doorstop.
Indiana Green Notched Points
These points came from a collection from Mooresville Indiana purchased in the late 1960’s. They are both made of the collectable ‘Indiana Green’ chert. Both points are beveled and one is heavily bifurcated and is probably an Osceola or Big Sandy Contracting Base point. The other one appears to have some ancient rework done to it’s base but it may have happened during the manufacturing process.
A Pair of Snyders Points
These points came from a collection from Mooresville Indiana purchased in the late 1960’s. They are both well made and of quality material.
