GHAR6 A very nice mottled light gray, tan and off white chert Found in Macoupin Co., IL 800.00
Hardin well flaked on both faces and showing slight left  (more details to buyer)
hand beveling. It's an outstanding piece having a slight "dig"
from the manufacturing process on the right side near the
horizontal centerline (photo 4 & 6) Even with this slight 
shortcoming, I think that this one would grade out to a G10 Jackson COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
GHAR7 A most interesting mottled blue and brown fossiliferous chert Found in Kentucky with 250.00
Big Sandy having Diatom inclusions and great color. It's well no further provenance
flaked on both faces to a median ridge and, from ancient
resharpenings is "almost" to the stage of being converted into 
a Drill. Just a good looking piece, graded a G8 by Tom Davis Davis COA (G8)

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
GHAR8 A fairly large and simply Gorgeous white and tan Recovered in 1500.00

shallow flutes on both faces with a slight hafting 
stop to each flute. It has slight basal grinding and is
just a superb example of this sought-after type Putty COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
GHAR9 YIKES!... talk about color!... This one's a gorgeous mottled Recovered from 750.00
gray, tan, burgundy and brown chert Thebes from the Early Preble Co., Ohio
Archaic period. It grades out to a G8+ and is thoroughly
flaked on both faces by an advanced knapper. It has fine 
serrations and slight beveling from ancient resharpenings and Putty COA
the basal edge is heavily ground. An outstanding artifact. Jackson COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
AR95 A highly attractive orange agatized wood Albany Recovered from the Toledo 150.00
Knife blade. Side A is well flaked in a random Bend area on the TX/LA border
fashion by an experienced knapper, while side B 
is mostly uni-faced with secondary pressure
flaking only to the edges. It has a clip to one ear,
but is still quite a colorful item in a scarce material

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
AR96 A very colorful, sturdy mottled blue Coshocton chert Astabula Knife  Found in 250.00
form well worked on both faces by an intermediate knapper. It has a Hancock Co., Ohio
single vertical ledge on side B just above the hafting line where the
hoststone resisted flaking attempts. Just a perty piece! This one is
pictured in our book, "How To Find Indian Arrowheads".

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
AR97 A beautifully formed, very sturdy mottled blue and tan    Recovered from Muskingum Co., Ohio, 350.00
Coshocton chert Dove Tail point having nice frosty patina. it has an extensive history of ownership
Created by a very advanced knapper, it shows good basal
grinding. Unfortunately it has 2 flaws, number one, the very
tip was recently broken and re-glued by a former owner, 
and it has an ancient lateral fracture which is hidden in one
notch leading from the base. (photos 7 & 9) Still a very
desirable item in a most colorful host material. This one is
pictured in our book, "How To Find Indian Arrowheads".

MBAR32 A mottled pink, gray, off-white and red salmon flint  Found in Missouri 300.00

was from a heat treatment stage. Sure is a beauty! Jackson COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DLAR1 A HUGE and absolutely magnificent off-white burlington Recovered in 1,200.00
chert Osceola Knife form which is just a no-brainer for the Stark Co., IN
mineral deposits it displays. Flaking is thorough to both

nicks to the edges, most likely from improper handling, but is
still an excellent centerpiece for any collection Ex: C. Lynch

Blade thoroughly flaked on both faces by an intermediate but judging from the material
knapper. It has good caliche deposits to testify to it's most likely Missouri

retains the original flat outer cortex of the host stone on it's
base. (Photos 6 & 7) A good centerpiece for any collection

from ancient resharpenings

Item: Type: Provenance: Price

both faces by an intermediate knapper. It guess it to be from Tennessee

DLAR3 A nice mottled light reddish brown flint Alberta Knife From a much older 650.00

faces with a bit of a vertical dig, near one edge at the (My guess would be
hafting line. (Left side in photo 2 & upside down in Kentucky)
photo 7) From the original striking platform which
appears at the tip (photo 6), this form appears to be
the way it was originally made  Ex: H. Hasse

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DLAR4 A glossy river polished gray-blue hornstone Hardin Recovered in 300.00
Knife form displaying heavy river polish which Henderson Co., MO
slightly subdued the flaking patterns. It's nicely
beveled with thorough flaking to both faces, but
has 5 nicks along one edge on side B, probably
from being tossed around on a river bed. Still a
decent piece with good provenance Ex: C. Lynch

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DLAR5 A gray sugar quartzite Dalton-Greenbrier dart  Recovered from 75.00
point showing right hand beveling with a ground Elmore Co., AL

well flaked on both faces but having a slight dip just

hafted knife form, well worked on both Southern Tennessee

single step on side A. (photo 6)

banded Bulverde Knife form, well flaked on both from the material most likely
faces, somewhat to a median ridge. It has a slight from Zapata Co., Texas
step on side B caused from ancient resharpening
to the convex cutting edge. It also shows good
alkali deposits as a testimony to it's antiquity

MBAR90 A very nice brown-gray Dover chert Pinetree Knife/Saw  Recovered in 350.00
form, fairly well flaked on both faces but showing vertical Livingston Co.,
steps to either side of the centerline on side B. It has Kentucky
very wicked serrations along one edge (right side in
photo 2) and the opposing side's serrations are mostly
worn away from ancient use as a saw blade. It has slight
right handed beveling from many ancient resharpenings, 
and judging from the broadness of the base, it must have Ex: Stringer
been a real monster of a blade in it's earlier forms Jackson COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MBAR94 A light gray and light brown diagonally banded Undocumented but judging  220.00
Dover chert Pinetree Saw/Blade. The flaking from the material, most likely
patterns aren't anything to write home about, and  found in Livingston Co.,
even though the novice knapper got the serrated Kentucky
areas right, he left a few slight stacks near the edges 
above the hafting area. (2 on opposing edges of side
B shown in photo 1 and one on side A, left side of
photo 6) One tang sustained ancient damage.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MBAR95 I used to have a pet dog which had these same colorations! Unfortunately 175.00
A most interesting light greenish-brown and black flint Thebes   undocumented
Knife form from the Early Archaic period. Flaking patterns are
thorough on both faces with a good combination of percussion
flaking to the faces and pressure flaking to the cutting edges. It
displays a fair amount of left handed beveling and has slight
nicks to both sides of the base. Definitely a well used and
unusual blade, which has more recent nicks (3) to the edges
