MHFW1101 A very rare convex based Stockton Recovered in 600.00
dart point thoroughly flaked on both Contra Costa Co., CA
faces. It has a flea bite from the left
edge near the tip in photo 2 and a

MHFW1105 A translucent obsidian Recovered in 20.00
Buchanan Eared dart point Churchill Co., NV

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHFW1106 Now here's a weird one, made by a very lazy knapper who Recovered in 15.00
apparently just wasn't into his work the day this one was  Churchill Co., NV
made. A semi-translucent diagonally banded obsidian Martis by L.L. Valdivia
arrowhead which is only minimally pressure flaked to the left
side of face A and only minimally worked around the edges
on side B. It retains alot of flat spots from the host stones
surface and has a long section of the original cortex of the
host stone on the right side of side A near the tip (photos 5
& 6) I'm inclined to believe that this one was never finished, 
but rather discarded as a "mission impossible" when it wasn't
taking the form the knapper intended

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHFW755 An exceptional and sturdy semi-translucent Recovered in 1939 in 1,000.00

show slight damage to their tips and one 
corner of the stem also has a diagonal nick. A
small section of the original striking platform
remains as a diagonally oriented flat at the end
of the stem on side A. Still an extremely rare
and highly attractive piece, seldom offered for
sale. This one is also the last of the top-shelf
Stockton's from Michael Hough's collection Ex: Michael Hough 7/4 ON-HOLD si
