Indian arrowheads and other ancient relics from
the Far Western regions which includes the Great Basin

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
SLFW3 A very attractive opaque black obsidian Offered by the finder 260.00
serrated Fox Ear arrowhead, thoroughly who recovered this one
flaked on both faces and having nice in the Alvord Desert in
caliche and mineral deposits on side A Harney Co., OR

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW129 A fairly thin and slender brown jasper Gatecliff Pershing Co., NV 45.00
dart point having tannic staining on it's lower
half. It lost one barb in ancient times, but is still
a respectable and well made piece

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW131 A medium-sized smoky gray patinated obsidian Churchill Co., NV 65.00
Elko Split-stem Arrowhead. It has an ancient
clip to the corner of one stem but is otherwise
intact with very fine edge serrations.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW132 An asymmetrical (as anciently formed) black Churchill Co., NV 65.00
obsidian Northern Side-notched Arrowhead
of the Fox-eared variety. Just a nice piece
with a very sharp needle tip

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW133 A most interesting, slightly undersized (for type) gray obsidian Humboldt  Pershing Co., NV 120.00
Constricted Base dart point having very nice edge serrations. It's heavily
river polished and the thorough flaking patterns are somewhat subdued
from the river polish. It has a small flea bite to the very tip of one ear,
but is otherwise completely intact as made and anciently used.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW134 A medium-sized duo-flow obsidian Humboldt Constricted-base  Churchill Co., NV 130.00
Knife form, well flaked on both faces and well used, but having a
diagonal dip in the center of side B (photo 4) either from a
percussion flake or from the original form of the host stone. One 
ear was anciently lost. Still an interesting piece which has a vertical
band of clear obsidian comprising 25% of it's overall width

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW135 A fairly thin, extremely well flaked on both faces semi- Churchill Co., NV 85.00
translucent duo-flow obsidian Elko Split-stem Arrowhead
having slight diagonal banding. The tip shows ancient re-
sharpening which is quite asymmetrical, but the caliche
deposits on the flaked area of the tip show that it was
anciently worked this way. An exceptional piece

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW139 A fairly thin, semi-translucent horizontal duo-flow obsidian Churchill Co., NV 35.00
Humboldt Constricted base dart point which is missing the 
base and has a clip to the tip. It's well flaked on both faces and
because of the ancient damage, has been priced accordingly

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW141 A fairly thick and quite crude mottled red and burgundy jasper Pershing Co., NV 35.00
Humboldt Constricted base Knife form. It has heavy desert
polish and is quite an interesting study for it's crudeness alone

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCFW146 A semi-translucent rootbeer agate Paleo Crescent which also has Humboldt Co., NV 45.00
  white "cherty" sections from the cortex of the original host stone.
Flaking patterns are mediocre, and one working end is totally
chopped up, I'm almost embarrassed to list this one, but since it's
a Paleo piece, it squeaked through and is priced accordingly

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW28 A very well made opaque black obsidian Excelsior  Napa Co., CA 250.00
Knife form. It has remnants of a single percussion
flake running vertically just above and just below
the hafting line. The remaining surfaces of this
beauty are thoroughly and intricately pressure
flaked. It shows traits of left-hand beveling from
ancient resharpenings. Just an outstanding piece.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW29 A somewhat "stubby" opaque black obsidian Excelsior Knife Napa Co., CA 65.00
form which was anciently resharpened down to the point of
almost being converted to a drill form. It has a spider bite to
the tip, but is otherwise intact as it was used long ago.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW30 A well worked-down opaque black obsidian Excelsior Knife Napa Co., CA 50.00
form which was anciently resharpened down to the point of
almost being converted to a drill form. It has a spider bite to
the tip, but is otherwise intact as it was used long ago.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW31 A fairly sturdy burgundy and green Franciscan chert Napa Co., CA SOLD
Stemmed Knife form. It's a bit on the crude side with  1/19
an ancient nick to the tip, but overall isn't a bad piece.
It's quite unusual to find an artifact having more than
one color of Franciscan chert in the same piece.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW32 An opaque black obsidian mostly uni-faced, stemmed "Humpie" Napa Co., CA 65.00
Knife/Side-scraper combination tool. It has some ancient 
chipping to the tip, but is otherwise in good shape. (Humpies are
documented with Paleo discoveries at Tulare Lake in many
publications, although this particular piece is from a much later
time era, coeval with Stockton and Excelsior types.)

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW33 A bi-facially worked gray obsidian Humpie Knife/side-scraper  Napa Co., CA 45.00
combination tool. Humpies are normally uni-faced tools, so this
one is unusual from the standpoint of being bi-facially worked.
The flaking patterns on this piece aren't very remarkable, and
appear to have been made in a hurried fashion

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW34 A fairly small (for type) somewhat thick opaque black Napa Co., CA 50.00
obsidian Humboldt Triangular dart point. It's thoroughly 
flaked on both faces but has a nick to one ear of the base.
It shows nice, somewhat shallow serrations to it's edges.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW35 A well worked-down opaque black obsidian Napa Co., CA 65.00
Excelsior Knife form which was anciently
resharpened down to the point of being
converted to a dangerous Dart form.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW36 A somewhat stubby semi-translucent Napa Co., CA 25.00
Excelsior Dart created by a novice knapper

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW37 A very worked-down opaque, diagonally banded gray Napa Co., CA 30.00
and black obsidian Saw having nice serrated edges but
overall flaking is by a novice knapper. An interesting piece

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW38 An opaque black obsidian Cascade hafted Napa Co., CA 25.00
Knife form having an ancient nick to the tip

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW39 A nice pair of obsidian pieces, one a Cottonwood Napa Co., CA 35.00
Triangle dart point, the other a worked-down
Plateau Pentagonal Knife form. Both are well
made pieces each one having a nick to their tips.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW40 A highly unusual iridescent gray obsidian  Napa Co., CA 40.00
Humboldt Basal Notched Dart point, well flaked
on both faces but having ancient nicks to each
ear of the base. Quite an unusual host material

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW41 A very well used opaque black obsidian Napa Co., CA 30.00
Humboldt Saw/Knife form showing ancient usage
nicks to the tip and a lateral shear to one edge at
the base, which took out the basal ear on that side

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW43 A fairly slender (for type) semi-translucent Napa Co., CA 30.00
obsidian Nightfire arrowhead created by a
novice knapper

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
BYFW7 An almost translucent, slightly opalescent white Offered by the original finder 50.00
agate Rose Springs Corner-notched arrowhead who found this one on his
from the Developmental to Classic phases, ranch in Harney Co., OR
between 600 and 1,600 years old. It's well  (details to buyer)
flaked on both faces by an intermediate knapper.
The stem is totally intact, as made but it has a
slight ancient nick just above one of the barbs.
Still a superior specimen.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
BWFW3 A medium-sized, well made opaque black Recovered from the 85.00
obsidian Archaic McGillivray Expanding Stem  Modoc Area in 12/1 ON-HOLD at
Knife form. It has nice oblique flaking to a median Northern CA
ridge, mostly on side A. The oblique flaking is
present, mostly near the tip area of side B

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TPFW394 Well made, medium sized Archaic Lake Co., OR A 20.00 Well flaked, lateral tip nick
Arrowheads, sold separately (Full history to buyer) B 20.00 Translucent, tip and barb nicked
C 22.00 Nice patina and serrations
D 24.00 Well flaked, nicely formed
Please specify the item number
AND letter when ordering

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TPFW396 A well flaked black obsidian Northern Side Lake Co., OR 45.00
Notched Arrowhead showing ancient tip (Full history to buyer)
damage which was anciently re-worked to put
this one back into operation, bargain priced!

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TPFW397 Interesting black obsidian Cascade Lake Co., OR A 40.00 Well flaked, nicely made
Knife blades, sold separately (Full history to buyer) B 35.00 Well flaked, nicely made, snapped base
        variety with ancient usage edge nicks
Please specify the item number
AND letter when ordering

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TPFW404 A nice pair of slightly damaged obsidian Lake Co., OR 50.00
hafted Knife blades from the early Archaic (Full history to buyer)
period, between 4000 and 8000 years old.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TPFW405 A very nice study lot of 5 slightly damaged Lake Co., OR 65.00
medium-sized obsidian Knife blades from (Full history to buyer)
the early Archaic period between 4000 and
8000 years old. A nice group for the price.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DFFW18 An interesting black obsidian Quarry Blank Modoc Co., CA 35.00
from the Archaic period. It has the typical quarry
blank flaking patterns with heavy alkali
encrustation, most likely left from hundreds of  
years of sitting in a dried-up lakebed. It appears to
have been used as a knife blade in it's current state.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DFFW19 A triangular opaque black obsidian Archaic Quarry Modoc Co., CA 30.00
Blank which has nice pressure flaking to the edges
indicating that it was utilized as a knife blade in the interim

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DFFW20 A pretty nice and well aged Early Archaic obsidian Cascade Knife Blade Modoc Co., CA 110.00
which was made on a HUGE flake. It has a few slight ledges on side A, but
is overall very well made by an advanced knapper who worked the sections
he needed at the time. The knapper definitely left his advanced "signature"
with the intricate edgework on both faces. The base is a little irregular and it
has a few recent edge nicks from improper storage. Still a very worthy and
old artifact which would make a great centerpiece in a Far West collection.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
SWFW3 A fairly nice very light gray chert early Archaic Cascade Found near Bay Center, 40.00
Knife blade which is well flaked on both faces with Pacific Co., WA
good mineralization and an overall river polished surface

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
SLFW5 A nice Northern Side-notched Fox Ear Found by the seller in 215.00
obsidian arrowhead, fairly thin with Owhyee Co., ID
thorough flaking patterns on both faces 
and a spider bite to the tip. Additionally
it has nice frosty patina on side B

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
SLFW6 A paper-thin purplish-burgundy chert Eastgate Found by the seller in 215.00
arrowhead having very thorough and intricate Owhyee Co., ID
flaking patterns to both faces and just a great
overall classic form. It's "almost" perfect with 
the exception of a small ancient dip to one edge
at the centerline, which appears to have been
caused by an overly aggressive pressure flake.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MBFW91 A paper-thin blue-green Franciscan Shasta Co., CA 125.00
chert Corner Notched arrowhead   
  thoroughly flaked but not without it's    
  problems. It has a sheared stem, a     
  nick to the tip and is missing the very    
  tip of one tang. Still a scarce item as    
Franciscan chert "anything" is rare Ex: Michael Hough

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MBFW96 A most interesting horizontally banded  Undocumented but 50.00
mahogany and black obsidian duo-flow most likely Oregon
Elko Eared dart point having good  
flaking patterns to both faces and an
unfortunate clip to one tang. It also has
a very sharp needle-tip Ex: Daryl Baker

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
FW34 A nice, thoroughly and expertly Recovered from an unspecified 45.00
flaked black obsidian Cascade dig site in Northern California
knife blade by a UCSF Anthropology
professor around 1950

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TPFW318 An average opaque black obsidian Cascade Lake Co., OR 75.00
Knife form created by an intermediate knapper. (Full history to buyer)

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
BYFW2 A good-sized and quite sturdy opaque black obsidian  Offered by the original finder 35.00
Chilcotin Plateau Knife blade. Side A's surface is well who found this one on his
flaked in a random fashion, while side B only has ranch in Harney Co., OR
secondary pressure flaking to the edges and around (details to buyer)
the tip. It has ancient nicks to both barbs and one
corner of the base was also anciently nicked off. Still
an interesting piece for it's form, from the Early
Archaic period, between 5,000 and 8,000 years old

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
BYFW3 An extremely well-made opaque black obsidian Gatecliff  Offered by the original finder 40.00
Knife form from the middle to late Archaic period, between who found this one on his
3,000 to 5,000 years old. Flaking patterns are very ranch in Harney Co., OR
thorough to both faces, executed by an advanced knapper. (details to buyer)
The end of the base was unfortunately snapped off in
ancient times. Still quite a striking piece for it's antiquity.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHFW1392 A very thin olive green Franciscan chert Gunther Barbed Recovered in 135.00
Arrowhead, expertly flaked by a master knapper and   Humboldt Co., CA
having just unbelievably fine serrations to both edges. It has
good river polish and I honestly cannot tell if it sustained an
ancient nick to one barb, or if that's just the way it was
made, as this section is smoothed over from the river polish

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHFW1395 A semi-translucent green Franciscan chert   Recovered in SOLD
Gunther Barbed Arrowhead which has a spider Humboldt Co., CA
bite to the tip of one barb. Flaking patterns look
"rushed" and not especially well executed

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
GBFW34 A fairly nice obsidian Excelsior blade Recovered in 110.00
showing percussion flaking to both Lake Co., OR
faces and secondary pressure flaking
around all edges. It appears to have 
been made by an intermediate knapper
and displays slight river polish

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
GBFW38 A very nice gray mouse obsidian    Recovered in 45.00
Buchanan Eared blade which was Sacramento Co., CA
anciently re-sharpened almost to the
point of taking on a drill-form. It has
nice oblique transverse flaking 
patterns on both faces, a slight nick to
the tip and 1 anciently sheared auricle

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMFW18 A very nice, fairly thin semi-translucent From an older collection 35.00
  smoky gray obsidian Humboldt Constricted  which was recovered from
Base dart point. It's fairly well flaked on both Modoc Co., CA and
faces by an intermediate knapper Washoe Co., NV
Ex: Thelma Billman

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TPFW337 A very interesting and well made semi-translucent Lake Co., OR 40.00
diagonally banded duo-flow obsidian Parman which (Full history to buyer)
was made on a larger flake and which retains a slight
bowing from the original flake's form. Secondary 
pressure flaking is very thorough to both faces, although
it does have a nick to the tip (photos 8 & 10)

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TPFW320 A nice pair of Cascade Knife blades having Lake Co., OR 40.00
minor damage to their bases. (Full history to buyer)
