70744--VERY FINE Illinois Celt, great bit & polish
Absolutely the best bit you'll find on a Celt, I think--crisp edge, superb polish behind the bit itself. The glacial cobble material is a quartzite, measures 3&1/8" by1&5/8", close to 1&3/16" max thickness. The heel was made deliberately flat, then strongly polished--that much polish, the Woodland (Hopewell or Adena) had some secondary reason for doing so. To go that much trouble, it wasn't for 'looks', it had a purpose. I find no farming or other damage scratches on the piece--was it a river find, or somehow escape the plows--unknown, it's an estate item, Union County, Illinois, so it could have been found along that minor river that forms the western side of Union County. Every detail is guaranteed authentic. Shipping is $7.00. I welcome checks or M.O.s, however I don't use paypal--Roy A.
