Killer Color Flint Ridge Knife |
|
Size: 3 13/16" long x 1 7/8" wide
Provenance: Purchased from the Ron Helman collection. Found in Richland County, Ohio.
Condition: Super. Ron is known for great color Flint Ridge pieces and this one is no exception. I pulled it from my personal collection, and offer it with some reluctance. Deep Red/Burgundy with accents of tan, purple, white, grey, and blue. This may be a Paleo piece, but I won't commit to the call. If the buyer would like to discuss typology on this piece, just engage me on the subject.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>

Flint Ridge Lance |
|
Size: 3 3/16" long x 1 3/8" wide.
Provenance: .
Condition: Super. A classic Ohio form made from the classic Ohio material. I have heard old timers call this form of Flint Ridge "jam", b/c it looks like it has little seeds throughout it like a strawberry. There is an awesome mineral stain on the front of the piece that you need no microscope to find.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>

Lightning Bolt Jacks Reef |
|
Size: 2 1/16" long.
Provenance: I bought this point from a Ron Helman auction of fine artifacts a ways back.
Condition: Excellent. One tiny side nick is the only detractor on this exceptional point. The lightning line is complete and runs through both sides b/c the point is very thin like most quality Jacks Reef points.
Price: $100 |

Sonora Stillwell |
|
Size: 2 7/16" long.
Provenance: I purchased this from the finder. Cheryl King. He placed an "x" over the exact place where he found it, which was an area cut for logging near Sonora, Kentucky. Buyer recieves map.
Condition: Perfect. There are many reasons why I have held onto this piece for many years. It is dark green patinated Sonora, and is pretty much flawless. Some serrations still showing and excellent provenance to boot.

Fluted Greenbriar |
|
Size: 3 1/8" long.
Provenance: This piece comes from Kentucky and was in the Walter Nelson collection that was recently auctioned off. This one has "$10" in Walter's red ink on it, which should give you an idea of what he thought of it. Most had $2 or $5 on them in 1950's pricing.
Condition: Super. This piece does not picture well. It is much, much nicer in hand. Fluted on both sides, and superior flaking make this a very nice late paleo piece.
Price: $225 |

Paleo Lance/Knife |
|
Size: 3 1/2" long
Provenance: Butler County, Kentucky. I bought this piece at the David Baldock sale in Tennessee about five years ago in a frame of all paleo blades/lances/tools.
Condition: Excellent. This is the last one from the frame I will be selling, and I always save the best for last. Really great Carter Cave and great Paleo work. I really am not sure if it is a lance or a knife. Nice angular basal treatment, like the Paleo collectors want to see.
Price: $200 |

Uniquely Salvaged Flint Ridge Dovetail |
|
Size: 3 1/8" long
Provenance: Found by Andrew Jack near Xenia, Ohio in the 1800's. I have a letter with a photo and history.
Condition: Salvaged Prehistorically. Have you ever seen a dovetail salvaged into a side hafted knife? I was so mad when Hothem's Dovetail book came out and I didn't submit this piece. His section on salvaged examples had nothing like this. Piece must have a big impact and the prehistoric maker just worked down the one side and kept right on using it.
