Item: Type: Kinney Provenance: Price
TWBAR2 A very well made, quite long and paper-thin Edwards plateau chert Kinney Knife Recovered from 750.00
  blade which is very well and thoroughly flaked on both faces. It shows great  Coryell Co., TX  
  patina and mineralization and with the exception of a slight usage/knapping nick to    
  one edge, is as perfect as the day it was made. Quite a superior piece, and most    
  likely made by the same knapper who created TWBAR1 above. Taylor COA  

Item: Type: Wadlow Provenance: Price
TWBAR15 A very sturdy off-white and light gray chert Wadlow Knife blade, well   Provenance is undocumented, but 300.00
  worked on both faces but having a slight stacked area on both faces near judging by the material I would  
  the tip which measure an average of 7/8" long. It has good mineralization put this one as being from Missouri  
  as a testimony to it's antiquity, and is overall not a bad piece.    

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TWBAR16 This one appears to be the tip of a beveled Archaic point Undocumented, but 40.00
  which was salvaged for use as a cutting tool. It's a light tan judging by the material,  
  Edward's plateau chert piece with good pressure flaking most likely Texas  
  around all outer edges and light basal grinding. It has flatter    
  sections in the center of both faces left from the percussion    
  flaking stage of a much larger blade in it's original form.    

Item: Type: Adena Robbins Provenance: Price
TWBAR5 A very meaty mottle grayish-brown dover chert Adena Robbins Knife form Undocumented, most 50.00
  showing good percussion flaking to both faces with thorough secondary  likely Kentucky  
  pressure flaking to all cutting edges. It has a small hafting stop/short-stack just    
  above the base, on the left side in photo 3. Quite a work-horse of an item.    

Item: Type: Fountain Bar Blade Provenance: Price
TCPAR1 A fairly nice and certainly colorful tan and orange chert  Offered by the original 50.00
  Fountain Bar single notched knife form. It's well flaked on both finder who recovered 2/17 ON-HOLD gh -RM
  faces and in very good condition, with a single, circular crystal this one in Kane Co., UT  
  inclusion pattern on side A. This one is a far better specimen (details to buyer)  
  than any of the Fountain Bars pictured in Overstreet's guide.    

Item: Type: Zella Provenance: Price
TWBAR7 A very attractive high grade Edward's plateau chert Zella Knife  Undocumented, but judging from the 165.00
  form which is well flaked on both faces and completely intact as material, it's most likely from the  
  it was made and used long ago Wilson County Sand Pit site in Texas  
    Ex: Walter Riddle  

Item: Type: Adena Provenance: Price
TWBAR9 A quite attractive mottled tan and light brown jasper/chert Undocumented, most 35.00
  Adena dart point having an anciently truncated base. Flaking  likely from Tennessee  
  patterns are thorough on both faces in mostly a random pattern.    

Item: Type: Copena Provenance: Price
TWBAR10 A very nice, colorful mottled blue chert Copena-Round base  Undocumented, 85.00
  blade form which retains sections of lighter brown on both faces possibly Ohio  
  from the original host stone's outer layers. Flaking outside of    
  these layers is very thorough and well done on both faces. The    
  base is slightly irregular, most likely from slight hafting damage    
  sustained during ancient usage. Still an attractive piece    

Item: Type: Thebes Provenance: Price
TWBAR11 A VERY LARGE fairly broad and quite sturdy off-white burlington chert Thebes Blade Only documented as 325.00
  form. It retains 2 flatter areas on side A left from the original percussion flaking stage, and being found in Missouri  
  side B has 1 "dig section" at the hafting line (left side in photo 5) from an overly aggressive    
  indirect percussion, thinning flake strike. It also has a fair sized "dip" on side B near the    
  horizontal mid-line (photo 5) where flaking from the percussion stage took off more than     
  what I'm sure the ancient knapper intended. Secondary pressure flaking is well done, but is    
  almost exclusively isolated to the cutting edges of the blade. Although the ancient knapper    
  seems to have been experienced enough, I get the impression that for the manufacture of    
  this blade, he had the attitude of "only the necessary". Still a piece which displays well. Jackson COA  

Item: Type: Elk River Provenance: Price
TWBAR13 A little bit rustic, but well formed mottled blue-gray Kentucky Recovered from 45.00
  hornstone Elk River knife form very thoroughly flaked on both Jackson Co., TN  
  faces and having a somewhat asymmetrical form due to it's use    
  and ancient re-sharpenings as a knife blade. Raggio COA  

Item: Type: Dovetail Provenance: Price
RPAR35 A gorgeous and quite long (for type) very light green chert Dovetail Knife/dart Recovered from 2400.00
  form thoroughly and very well flaked on both faces with good, detailed  Darke Co., OH  
  secondary pressure flaking around it's edges. It has a single, thin crystal inclusion    
  line running horizontally through it's midsection (photos 5 & 6) and it has good    
  basal grinding. A very superior example of this highly desirable point type. Ex: Greg Perino  

Item: Type: Scotts Bluff Provenance: Price
RPAR52 A VERY thin light gray and tan-brown flint Scotts Bluff dart Recovered from 450.00
  point showing very good and thorough transverse flaking Toledo Bend Lake,  
  patterns on both faces. It has a very slight ancient nibble to the Louisiana  
  tip and it's a little rough around the edges, but this is as it was    
  made and used. Just a very fine example of this desirable type. Ex: Greg Perino  

Item: Type: Stillwell Provenance: Price
RPAR44 A very light greenish-blue-gray chert Stillwell blade form well flaked on both  Recovered from 300.00
  faces by an experienced knapper. All edges show good secondary pressure Brown Co., IL  
  flaking with the center of side B showing more remnants of broader     
  percussion flake scars than appear on side A. It has a very small ancient nick    
  to one edge (right edge in photos 1 & 3) with another, slightly larger recent     
  nick below the ancient nick on the same edge. Still an attractive, respectably    
  sized ancient piece dating between 7,000 and 9,000 years old. Ex: Greg Perino  

Item: Type: Hemphill Provenance: Price
RPAR42 A very long, extremely well made glossy white burlington chert Recovered from 750.00
  Hemphill showing thorough, superior flaking patterns on both Benton Co., AR  
  faces by a very advanced knapper. Quite an exceptional piece Ex: Greg Perino  
  and one of the best examples of this type we've ever seen. Rogers COA  

Item: Type: Paisano Provenance: Price
RPAR47 A very attractive and very well made mottled light gray and off-white chert  Recovered from Texas 450.00
  Paisano Knife/Saw duo-purpose blade form. Flaking patterns are thorough     
  on both faces by an advanced knapper, although it does have a single shallow    
  horizontal hinge fracture step, just above the horizontal centerline on side B.    
  (photo 3) The tip is needle sharp and the serrations are well pronounced on    
  this ancient piece which dates between 5,000 and 6,000 years old. Ex: Greg Perino
