Out of Edwards County, Illinois, a snap base Pickwick out of the old Indian Hill Museum (Norman Reid collection, marked as being found in 1950). The point is a very high grade of Indiana Hornstone, slightly under 3&3/8" by 1&1/2"--excellent width/ thickness proportions, never reaches 3/7" thickness, with 5/16" thickness for most of the long blade. The piece is NOT BROKEN--the ancient knapper worked to the very bottom of the flake he was working, ran short of material to fashion a full stem--you see the slightly angled fracture plane that was the edge of that starting preform where the stem ends. Mr. Reid's data is recorded (in ink) on one face--consider it ( the written provenance) permanent, ink simply soaks into flint, you don't ever fully remove writing on most flint--that goes for a small additional inked-over spot where Norman covered up some writing with a 'blot out' of ink--no idea why, he just did.. Shipping is $7.00, checks or M.O>s are the ways I welcome payment. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
