Auglaize County Ohio Adena Pendant |
|
Size: 3 7/8" long x 1 13/16" wide
Provenance: Found 1951 in Auglaize County, Ohio from the old Reed collection out of Pennsylvania. Tag mispells Auglaize.
Condition: Excellent. This pendant is not perfect, but it is perfectly old. It is an Adena pendant and could be classed as a Bell or a Keyhole. The form blends together in my mind. There are remnants of two tags on the pictured side that I will remove for the buyer. The better side is pictured, so please inquire about back. Authentic pendants are probably 1 in 10 in collections.
Price: $250 |

Beads |
|
Size: Varies. 17 large and about 100 smaller
Provenance: Came from a collection that was found near the town of Faxon, TN in the 1930's-1950's.
Condition: Museum Grade. These are called "knobbie" beads from Welk shells and date into the Archaic time period. It is my undestanding that these beads are some of the earliest to come from the area. A rare opportunity to get a large string like this one.
Price: $400

B54 - Tie-on Double Notch Wing Bannerstone |
|
Size: 4 3/8” long
Provenance: Eaton County, Michigan. X: Donald Boudeman, X: Wilbur Cunningham, X: Earl Townsend.
Condition: Excellent. This is a very special piece. It is the tie form of a wing banner. These pieces are rarer than their drilled cousins. Very thin, excellent banded slate with every collectors favorite: The Wormtrack. I guess they invented the term “no brainer” for pieces like this.
Price: $550 Reduced to Sell. 12.17.07 |

Dave Warner Discoidal |
|
Size: 3" circumfrence x 1 1/2" thick. This is above average size for the type.
Provenance: This piece was last sold at the third David Warner auction in 1983. It was lot #312. Warner was pictured in Who's Who #1 and #4 and is a highly respected early collector. Unfortunately, the find location was lost upon Mr. Warner's death.
Condition: Perfect. I can't find one nick out of this piece. I would estimate about 60% overall polish with the heaviest polish on the sides. The piece has that wonderful off centered look that the real ones have.
Price: $450 |

Notched Ovate Preform |
|
Size: Basically circular with a 4" circumfrence.
Provenance: David Warner Collection Howe, Indiana.
Condition: Pre-form. This piece has several very interesting attributes. 1)One prong was knocked off, but then polished down. One would think the maker would discontinue manufacture when this happened, but he didn't. 2) The piece is too thin to have been drilled. I am not aware of any tie-on notched ovates. Absolutely authentic and very interesting. Complete/finished notched ovates represent the rarest and highest form of banner production by the Middle Archaic people 5000 years ago.
Price: $450 |

3 Hole Glacial Kame Gorget. |
|
Size: 4 1/8” long x 2 3/8" at widest
Provenance: David Warner Collection from Howe, Indiana. Mr. Warner was a true Indiana old timer who died in 1983 close to the age of 90. This piece was last sold at his estate auction in that year. Pictured in Who's Who #4(1976) on Page 335 in the middle of Warner's slate frame.
Condition: Museum. Pieces like this one don't hit the market often. It took almost 25 years for this one to be offered to the public again. 3 hole pieces are extremely rare and this form is almost unique to itself. Wonderful banded slate with an almost mirror polish.....

Antler Flint Flakers |
|
Size: Varies. All in the 3"+ range.
Provenance: These were all found on Fort Ancient sites in Hamilton County, Ohio.
Condition: Excellent. The piece on the far left is an antler "drift", and is the longest one I have seen. The other 3 are deer antler modified into flakers. These are the tools that the prehistoric knappers made arrowheads with, and every collection should have one.
Price: SOLD> THANK YOU> |

Atl-Atl Foreshaft |
|
Size: 190 mm long x 10mm wide
Provenance: Utah. collected legally on private property many, many years ago. More details to interested buyers. Ben Stermer COA #1573, Ted Gardiner COA #6314, Carbon Date from Beta Analytic of 6490+/-40 years before present.
Condition: Museum Grade. I know I say you won't see another one, but in this case I feel pretty confident. I have been told this is the oldest atl-atl foreshaft discovered in the Western USA. It is 100% complete and has a brilliant bone harpoon attached to it with wonderful wrapping and pitch. My guess it was used for fishing. Someone will be adding one of the best pieces I have handled(I actually have never touched due to hand oils).
Price: $email for availability. |
