8.8 2-1/4" Highly patinated sonora Eccentric. This is the first one of these I have owned, I never thought I'd even see an authentic one but here it is. A small amount of ancient damage on the base but it is 95% intact. I keep looking at this piece and seeing a turkeytail that was broken and then turned into this piece, the damaged area has the same patination as the rest of the piece. I have also given some thought to these being equilivent to a "saleman sample" of what and ancient flint knapper could do in the way of notching. These are ultra rare to come across. Found by John Hughes in Scott Co. KY prior to 1975. $200
8.9 4-1/8" Coshocton paleo blade, Ohio piece Ex- Hill (has his number on it but hard to see with the black flint). Super quality on the material and very well made paleo tool, you can really get the feel of how they made clovis points seeing this piece. $100 ON HOLD
