#848--Tip-broken KY Dalton, but man, what a base

The cost of shipping is included with this Hickman0area County, Kentucky Dalton--the finder had some twenty broken Daltons--if he ever found a whole one I sure didn't see it in the estate sale. This one impressed me due to the width, 1lectin&5/16"--and the great number of sharpen-and-use cycles the blade went through before the tip broke--1&15/16" even without the tip--is this one worth a trip to either Dennis Bushey or Keith Etchison's restoration service? I think so. Quality flint, even if restored, is worth collecting. The chert is the tan Jasper-like material seen all over far western Kentucky--the silicate level is high enough that the knapping left fine Early Archaic pressure chipped flakes. One 'interesting note' is that there is some basal grinding on the tips of the auricles but little dulling on the basal/ lateral edges. The low level of edge grinding may be unique to Daltons--or to their larger knives (assuming this was a hafted knife). I'll clarify that with the expert on Daltons: Mack Ashman--he'll know (if anyone will). I welcome checks, cash, or M.O.s, but do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
