Big Sandy Sidenotch - #4-2
Size: 2 9/16" L x 1 3/8" W.
Provenance: Found in Delaware County, Ohio. X: Dean Driscoll.
Condition: Excellent. Classic Ohio style Big Sandy. Nice mineral deposits, heavily ground base, fine pressure flaking. Glossy Delaware chert.

Hardin - #4-3
Size: 3 1/8" long x 1 1/4" wide.
Provenance: Found in Dubois County, Indiana. Purchased at a Huntingburg estate sale of C. Parr.
Condition: Super. I know it's white, but I think it is Hornstone that patinated out white. You can see little areas of grey trying to poke through the white patina. In my mind, this is a "knobbed" Hardin, and rarer type. Should be obvious it is old from pics. Yes, this would be a killer piece.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>
Large Dovetail - #4-4
Size: 5 1/8" L x 1 1/2" W

Heavy Duty - #4-5
Size: 3 7/16" L x 1 5/16" W.
Provenance: Coschocton County, Ohio. Converse Sale 9/17/2016

Heavy Duty - #4-6
Size: 3 1/4" long x 1 1/4" wide.
Provenance: Found in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Converse Sale 9/17/2016.
Condition: Excellent. Great swirled Coshocton flint. Well made with a few minor dings. One of my favorite types. These guys represent some of the Earliest Archaic work in the Midwest.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>
Hornstone Dovetail - #4-7
Size: 4 1/16" L x 1 5/16" W.
Provenance: Detailed provenance information shared with buyer. Inquire for details.
Condition: Super. Some flints just feel better than others. I term it ergonomic, but it is more than that. This piece has that intangible quality. It also has a great half bullseye, superior form and size. Highly recommended piece.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>
Dickson -#4-8
Size: 3" L x 1 5/16" W
Provenance: Listed as Southern Illinois. Purchased from Tom Davis in 2015.
Condition: Super. Could this material be a patinated Hornstone / Cobden? I'm not sure, but I am sure it is heavily patinated. Base is burinated straight across. I don't think this is a break. As you can see, a great color pattern.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>
Dovetail - #4-9
Size: 3 5/16" L x 2 1/16" W.
Provenance: Found in Perry County, Indiana. X: Sidney Bellville collection.
Condition: Super. Almost a dovetail variant, but I am confident in typology. Great, high grade Indiana Horstone full of stripes. Very wide for it's length. A very nice flint piece.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>
Cobbs Knife - #4-10
Size: 4 1/2" L x 1 7/8" W.
Provenance: Detailed provenance information shared with buyer. Inquire for details.
Condition: Super. Earlier stage Cobbs, but still has a bevel. Great form and flaking on this classic Early Archaic type.
Price: $450
Dovetail - #4-11
Size: 4 1/2" L x 1 1/4" W.
Provenance: Howard County, Missouri.
Condition: Small amount of restoration shown in pictures. As stated below, I would remove the restore. It is so small, and this is such a beautiful point. Color for days. I guess this is a wacky Burlington, but could be way off. Great size.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>
Note the extremely small areas of restoration on the tips of the ears and base. I highly recommend removing this.
Sonora Lance - #4-12
Size: 3 7/16" L x 1 3/8" W
Provenance: Barren County, Kentucky.
Condition: Perfect. No flaws. High grade translucent with subtle purple and green tones. Base and sides only lightly ground which makes me wonder if it is isn't a later type. I know this, it would still kill and butcher today. Collector's favorite material.
Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>
Group of Glover's Cave Artifacts - #4-13
Size: Center bone piece is 3 7/16" L.
Provenance: Group came from Glovers Cave excavated by Col. Raymond Vietzen in the 1940's - 1960's.
Condition: Varies. Pretty easy to tell when relies come from a cave setting. The bone piece is basically fossilized and noticeably heavier than standard bone pieces. 3 drills and 2 nice points. This is one of the most famous collector sites in the Midwest.
Price: $500
