Thin and Perfect Early Archaic Bifurcate- #1-1

Size: 2 5/16" long x 1 1/4" wide.

Provenance: Knox County, Ohio. Jerry Marshall collection.

Condition: Museum Grade. Even with a few tiny side nicks, this one gets the rare museum grade. For the type, this one is about as good as they get. Size is very large for type, material is high grade and shows translucency, flaking/manufacture is exceptional, and it is ultra-thin. You just don't see them this nice.

Price: $175

Early Stage Sonora Cobbs Blade - #1-2

Size: 3 7/8" long x 1 3/4" wide.

Provenance: Southern Indiana. From the early 1900's family collection started by Vernon Hamblin.

Condition: Super. This Cobbs(Early Archaic) blade is almost first stage. It exhibits only one resharpening, and really doesn't show a bevel yet. There is some super pressure flaking along the resharpened edges that can be seen in the photos. Color and material on this piece are truely exceptional. My favorite material in all its colorful glory.

Price: $400

Had to put up another picture:

Sonora Stemmed/Bifurcated/Serrated Kirk - #1-3

Size: 2 1/4" long x 1 1/4" wide

Provenance: Southern Indiana. From the early 1900's family collection started by Vernon Hamblin.

Condition: Perfect. Sky blue Sonora turning into a dark purple as it moves towards the base. Best material I have ever seen on one of these Kirks. There is a little glue residue towards the middle of the piece that should come off easily if buyer wants to remove it.

Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU>. I had a hard time pricing this one, b/c it is of a caliber you just don't see. The only thing that held me back is the size. Probably a steal.

Joe Macik Ohio Deep Notch Bevel - #1-4

Size: 2 5/16" long x 1 7/8" wide.

Provenance: Ohio. X: Archie Diller. X: Joe Macik. Purchased at Ron Helman auction on 11/19/2005.

Condition: Super. I lean towards Flint Ridge on the material, but it could be a super high grade and highly patinated Coshocton. Some of the better edgework in the beveled area you will ever see. Made by an Early Archaic master. Only flaw is one ear is sharpened down more than the other throwing off the symmetry slightly.

Price: $600

Another Angle:

Mini-Perfect Dovetail - #1-5

Size: 1 7/8" long x 1 1/16" wide.

Provenance: Owlsley County, KY. Jerry Marshall collection.

Condition: Perfect. I am almost certain the material is Sonora Flint b/c of the strong purple splotched area. This piece shows excellent mineralization evident in the pictures, perfect form/condition.

Price: $150

Another Picture:

Mini Indiana Green Thebes - #1-6

Size: 1 5/8" long x 1 1/8" wide.

Provenance: X: Don Potter.

Condition: Excellent. I have seen enough of these mini-Thebes points that I am starting to believe an old timer that told me the Early Archaic people made some of these points small. I used to shrug it off thinking they were just the product of resharpening. This piece does show resharpening and a good bevel, but the size seems to fit the base. Very high grade Indiana Green material is a bonus, bonus.

Price: $50

3 Resharpened/Drills - Dalton - #1-7

Size: All between 2" long - 2 1/4" long.

Provenance: The two white ones I purchased at the Walter Nelson estate several years ago. The black I picked up from the daughter of a local old time collector.

Condition: Super. All three of these pieces are the famous Dalton points that are typically found in the Illinois/Missouri area. 2 of the 3 have been resharpened into drill forms, and the 3rd is highly beveled. I think black flint on this type is rare, and the white Burlington is typical.

Price: $SOLD> THANK YOU.
