its superior craftsmanship and thinness. This
fine example |
|
|
| |
measures 2-7/8 x 1-5/16. It is made from deep
blue, highly |
|
|
| |
patinated onadaga chert. A write-up from Dr.
Gramly states |
|
|
| |
"this point has a small chip that shows the
true color of the point". |
|
|
| |
Even with this chip and a hairline crack it still
graded a

Tom Davis !!! This
world class paleo lithic gem also comes |
|
|

with a COA from Jerry Dickey and a write-up
from Dr. Gramly |
Ex: John Dickerson,

It's my personal opinion that Crowfield
points are |
