Large Double Notched Knife

Size: 5 3/16" long.

Provenance: Found in Henry County, Kentucky in 1959 by a Who's Who #1 collector. Further provenance to buyer.

Condition: Super. I am not exactly sure how to type this piece. I am sure it is Breathitt flint, and one of the biggest pieces made from Breathitt I have ever seen. Breathitt is a highly collectible KY/Southern Ohio material. The typology should fall into the late archaic. It could be a double notched turkey tail blade or a double notched benton. It also reminds me of a Morse Knife. Whatever the buyer wants to call it is find by me. This is an extremely nice piece of breathitt.

Price: $250

Michigan Bullseye Hornstone Adena

Size: 3 11/16" long x 2" wide

Provenance: Came from an the estate of Lorenzo Badge Entrican, MI.

Condition: Excellent. I have not figured out why so much Hornstone material ends up in Michigan, but it does. Is there another source? Is it a close relative of Hornstone? Was there a well travelled trade route? This is a very nice Adena with good size.

Price: $200

Knobbed Hardin of Sonora

Size: 3 ¼” long

Provenance: Southern Indiana. X: Mike Thursby. Holds his tag #168. I guess I bought this 7-8 years ago from Mike.

Condition: Excellent. Sonora Flint in Green patination. Camera failed the colors, but it is dark blue sonora with a greenish cast over it. Knobbed Hardins with color are extremely desirable. A few nicks up the blade edge that show the stones inside color. Should go quick.

Price: $350

Giant Sized "3 Bevel" knife

Size: 5 3/8” long x 2 1/8” wide.

Provenance: I do not have the find location on this piece. There is a small piece of medical tape on the back with an “H” on it. From what I know, this appears to be Dr. Hugh T. Young’s sticker. Dr. Young is one of our most famous collectors and put together one of the greatest artifact collections of all time.

Condition: Good. A couple of small nicks from being a classic. The little square shaped ding is not part of a break on the piece. There are some natural fault lines in the flint, but it is 100% not broken/glued. I guess this piece falls into the early archaic sequence of knives. The material is the extremely desirable Cobden Flint from Southern Illinois. With the limited distribution of this material, So. Il. is a very probable find location. This knife has a feature I have never seen before. There is alternate beveling on the same side. The other side bevels run only on one side. I guess we could call it a “three bevel”.

Price: $200

Sonora Pig Sticker(Probably Hopewell)

Size: 3.5"

Other Side

Huge Carter Cave Big Sandy

Size: 4 1/4" long x 1 3/8" wide

Provenance: Fayette County, Ohio. I purchased piece from Doug Hooks of Mansfield, Ohio who informed me that this fine artifact was in his father's collection. Jack Hooks is one of the top names in Ohio collecting history.

Condition: Excellent. A few dings here and there, but overall in great shape especially for its size. The one nick on the tip amazes me that it didn't break the piece. Super material that stands out in any frame. This piece is also an excellent study in authenticity. Absolutely loaded with proper mineralization.

Price: $300

Carter Cave Jacks Reef

Size: 2 1/8" long.

Provenance: Boyle County, Kentucky

Condition: Excellent. One chip near the tip, but the tip was rounded off prehistorically with the classic pentagonal resharpening pattern of the Jacks Reef culture. This rare type is even rarer in Carter Cave. I have had this point for a long time and really only removed it from its home, b/c it is so thin that it slid around in a travelling frame. A little tissue paper behind it will eliminate the problem for the buyer.

Price: $75
