Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TMFFT1 A HUGE, heavily patinated light green Franciscan chert uni-faced Offered by the original finder 950.00
  Trade Blank most likely from the Paleo period. It has thin crystal  who recovered this one on a   
  vein lines at the base and a few more recent (slight) edge nicks near bluff in Clements, California in  
  the tip, which expose the true, unpatinated darker green color of San Joaquin County.  
  the host material. (Photo 5) This one is the largest Trade Blank    
  we've handled to date. Additionally, it has a smaller section of the    
  original hoststone's cortex on the base. (Photo 6) This one would    
  make one HECK of an impressive centerpiece to any collection!   dlbb

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
BB1 A MONSTER of a blade !!! A super super From West-Central 675.00
  nice and HUGE Edwards chert Refugio Texas  
  knife blade. As per the Perino COA: "A    
  large knife form that has had one retouch    
  re-sharpening that barely reduced the size of    
  the blade". They don't come any better than    
  this one, folks ! A GREAT collection centerpiece Perino COA dlbb

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPFT12 A very attractive tan flint Crescent Knife form which is well flaked Recovered from 300.00
  on both faces with good secondary pressure flaking edgework, Bastrop Co., TX  
  created by a (barely) intermediate knapper. This one dates from Ex: Patterson  
  the Paleo to Archaic periods between 8000 and 10,200 years old. Ex: Greg Perino  

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPFT13 A dull tan chert hafted knife blade "recycled" from a Marcos point, and Recovered from 85.00
  having a small diagonal light brown flat section in the middle of side A from Uvalde, TX  
  the host stone's outer cortex. Flaking is thorough on both faces but by a    
  somewhat inexperienced knapper. It shows ancient usage wear to the tip     
  and a more recent nick to the tip of the single remaining barb. It dates back    
  to the Archaic to Woodland periods, between 1800 and 3500 years old. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Archaic Triangular Knife Blade Provenance: Price
RPFT25 A semi-translucent, sun bleached moss agate knife form Recovered from 85.00
  having nice frosty blue-white patina. One edge has a section Bismarck, North Dakota  
  which appears to be more recently pressure flaked, and I     
  can't honestly say that this was from a later culture, most likely    
  caused from modern re-chipping, why?... I have no clue.    
  Period/Age: Archaic - 4,000-6,000 B.P. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Kinney Knife Provenance: Price

  functional. Flaking patterns are thorough on both faces, although    
  side B retains a few of the 1st stage percussion flake patterns.    
  Period/Age: Archaic-Woodland - 2,000-5,000 B.P. Ex: Greg Perino

    Ex: Greg Perino  

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPFT10 A very large, broad and well made light gray chert with pinkish hues Refugio  Recovered from 800.00
  Knife form. It's very well flaked on both faces by a very experienced knapper Leon Co., TX  
  with a long single flute channel leading from the base of side A for a length of    
  2-3/8". It has a few, slight flake scar ledges, which is to be expected from    
  such a large item. A GREAT collection centerpiece item which dates to the     
  Archaic period between 2000 and 4000 years old. This beauty is illustrated in    
  Greg Perino's "Selected preforms..." book 3, page 132. Ex: Greg Perino  

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPFT11 A very nice mottled light blue and gray-blue flint Kinney Knife blade which Recovered from the 650.00
  is well flaked on both faces with percussion flaking patterns leading to the  Pedernales River, Texas  
  vertical centerline of the blade and with slight vertical steps remaining from    
  the knapping process. It shows good secondary pressure flaking to the    
  edges with basal thinning. Just a superior piece which dates between the    
  Archaic to Woodland periods between 2000 and 5000 years old. Ex: Greg Perino  

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
CHFT9 A mottled gray and brown petrified wood hafted spokeshave salvaged Found in Polk Co., TX 30.00
  and re-worked from a damaged corner-notched point. By artifact (Offered by original finder)  
  association it dates back to the Archaic through Woodland periods and    
  is between 1,000 and 3,200 years old. An interesting artifact.    

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
CHFT13 A very sturdy mottled gray and brown petrified wood Archaic Knife Found in Polk Co., TX 150.00
  blade which strongly resembles the Okanogan Knife form from other (Offered by original finder)  
  western states in the Far Western regions. Made on a good-sized,    
  reasonably thick sliver of petrified wood, it has thorough pressure flaking    
  patterns along all of it's cutting edges and has a smoothed flat base. It     
  was most likely a handheld knife and, by artifact association, dates to the    
  Archaic through Woodland periods, between 1,000 and 3,200 years old.    

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
VAFT1 A very interesting, completely intact multi-colored lavender, white, tan and  Offered by original 150.00
  yellow chalcedony/agate side scraper/flake knife blade combination tool. It finder’s family members,  
  is uni-faced with crude, cursory flaking to it's surface but has very intricate found in Crook Co., OR  
  and detailed secondary pressure flaking patterns to it's cutting/scraping    
  edges. A superior and larger than most example of this ancient tool    

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
VAFT2 A fairly long, slightly crude Archaic stemmed Knife Blade made from Offered by original 120.00
  a colorful light blue, brown and gray combination chalcedony-jasper finder’s family members,  
  host material. Flaking patterns are very cursory and crude on both found in Crook Co., OR  
  faces with better, more detailed pressure flaking patterns appearing    
  along it's cutting edges. It has an asymmetrical form caused by    
  ancient resharpenings. Definitely a well used knife blade.    

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
VAFT3 A snow-white chalcedony-chert Archaic Cascade Knife blade Offered by original 75.00
  which shows amateurish flaking patterns mostly around it's edges. finder’s family members,  
  This beauty must have been HUGE in it's earlier incarnations, and found in Crook Co., OR  
  was anciently resharpened down to the point of exhaustion as    
  evidenced by the very obvious hafting line shown in photos 1 and    
  4. The surfaces on both side A and side B are mostly flat in the    
  center from the form of the original host stone. Slightly crude, but    
  still an excellent study in ancient tool manufacture and use.   dlfw

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
VAFT4 A quite interesting and crude Archaic Cascade brown jasper Offered by original 35.00
  Knife blade, obviously made by a very junior, inexperienced finder’s family members,  
  knapper who was probably just learning the art of flint knapping. found in Crook Co., OR  
  It has flaking patterns on both faces and shows traits of repeated    
  use and ancient resharpening over time. An interesting tool.    

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
VAFW2 A nice, broad black obsidian Archaic bi-pointed Cascade Trade Blank which  Offered by original  200.00
  was obviously used as a Knife blade in it's present form. It retains much of the finder’s family members,  
  cursory direct percussion trimming-flaking patterns on both surfaces with found in Harney Co., OR  
  intricate secondary pressure flaking patterns along selected sections of it's    
  cutting edges. A most interesting example of a "tool in transition".   dlfw

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
VAFW11 A fairly thin (for material) medium gray fine-grained basalt Cascade Offered by original 130.00
  Knife blade, well worked on both faces with the exception of a 25% finder, found in  
  vertical flat section on side B (photos 3 & 5) left over from the original Crook Co., OR  
  host stone's cortex. Basalt is near impossible to work very well, but    
  the ancient knapper did a pretty good job with this one. It's a bit on    
  the rustic side, but is still a valid truly well used ancient artifact.   dlfw

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
LSFT10 An attractive mottled red chert "winged"  Otero Co., NM 40.00
  Drill, which is missing the wings. These    
  were probably anciently sheared off    
  from the tork motion of the drill

  style" Archaic knife    

Item: Type: Provenance: Price

CHFT1 A quite thick and sturdy dark brown, vertically banded agatized  Offered by the original 150.00
  wood Covington Knife blade having a single spoke shave worked finder(s) who recovered  
  into one cutting edge. It's well flaked on both faces although the this one from their own  
  flaking patterns are somewhat subdued owing to the nature of the property in Polk Co., TX  
  host stone material. It retains a vertical outer cortex section in the    
  center of side B, and is just quite a fascinating very ancient tool.   dlar1

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
CHFT2 A most interesting mottled light brown, tan and deep red petrified Offered by the original 30.00
  wood Awl having an anciently sheared tip. It's somewhat crude, finder(s) who recovered  
  as most awls are due to the "only the necessary" attitude of the this one from their own  
  ancients. (Woodland period, 1000 B.P.) property in Polk Co., TX  

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
CHFT3 A very small, slender and delicate mottled light brown and red Offered by the original 25.00
  petrified wood Paddle Drill from the Woodland period, around finder(s) who recovered  
  1,000 years old. It's nicely made but missing half of it's base, this one from their own

Item: Type: Provenance: Price

  section which shows the original percussion flaking marks in    
  the center, while the remaining area of side A is expertly and    
  intricately worked with detailed pressure flaking scars. Side B    
  retains a 50% flat area in the center (photos 4 & 5) from the    
  original flake's surface and has equally intricate pressure    
  flaking around the cutting edges. Quite an outstanding piece    
  which would qualify as a centerpiece to any collection    

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPFT5 A very crude, highly river polished mottled tan, light Recovered from 65.00

  along all edges is very intricate and well done. Quite an exceptional blade. Ex: Perino  

Item: Type: Provenance: Price

  worked, very light yellow and gray chalcedony Dalton-era Lake Dam on the Canadian

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JAFT1 A fairly thick and sturdy opalescent, fully translucent obsidian Atlatl Valley Recovered from 200.00
  Triangular Hafted Knife blade from the Early Archaic period, between Lake Co., OR  
  2500 and 7000 years old. It's very well flaked on both faces mostly by    
  wide indirect percussion. It has minor usage wear to the edges but is    
  essentially a problem-free piece. It displays very interesting hafting    
  preparation to the base, with side B having the only direct percussion flake    
  apparent, which ends at a slight step to act as a hafting stop, and side A has    
  very similar traits except that the hafting channel flakes were created through    
  indirect percussion rather than by direct percussion. A nice, worthy piece. Ex: Davidson  

Item: Type: Provenance: Price

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPFT3 An outstanding very light gray chert Lerma Pointed Base BIG game Found on the Arkansas River in 1400.00
  hand-held butchering knife blade which is very thin for it's size. Just an Oklahoma by B. McClemore
