Plainview point showing excellent flaking to a

Hudsputh Co., TX
median ridge on side A, and more uniform 
flaking on side B. It has ancient re-sharpening to
the tip and nice basal and edge grinding which

which was at least 30% longer. The top would suggest Kentucky

LSPA36 A very nicely made light gray colored quartzite Recovered in 700.00

"Plainview" (according to Dwain Rogers) With 

El Paso Co., TX
the exception of a flea-bite to the tip, this one is
all there. It has very nice paleo side and basal
grinding, and one pressure flaked flute and
hafting stop on side A. Side B has pressure
thinning to simulate a flute. "Our opinion" is that
this one more closely resembles a Paleo
Redstone point, than a Plainview. Made from a
most difficult to work material Rogers COA

Midland point having ancient tip damage

RDPA270 A beautiful mottled pink burlington chert

Found on a Woodland

Clovis point which has experienced a

site south of Steedman in
  "rebirth" of sorts... This one was found Calloway County,  
  on a known Woodland period site, and Missouri  
  appears to have re-chipping to the tip     
  area most likely as a result of "recycling" Full history to buyer  
  by this later culture. Certainly a point    
with a story to tell. (Double fluted) ON-HOLD

  centerline and near the tip as well as to a    
  small section of the opposing edge. The    
  very tip to one stem (the stem on the right

rare and desirable point !

white Alibates chert Folsom. This one has

LSPA55 A most interesting, very thin mottled tan chert Found in 1200.00

Folsom point having heavy duty restoration

El Paso Co., TX
to the tip and upper blade portion as well as
to the base and both ears. It's difficult to tell 
what's real and what's not with this piece, as
the restorer coated most of the surface with
some sort of paint to blend in the restored
areas. If I had to make a judgment call, I 
would say that this one is 50% restored, 25%
to the tip, and the other 25% to the base. Stermer COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
LSPA56 A deep mottled blue and white chert Clovis Found in 110.00

base having a few short light blue lightening

Otero County, NM
  bolt patterns. This one strongly resembles the     
  Coshocton chert types from Ohio, but it was    
  found elsewhere. Has one devil of an ancient    
  impact fracture to the tip, which also caused    
  (salvaged) damage to one ear on the same    
  side as the impact fracture. Has nice     
  mineralization on the fractured area of the tip.    
  I think that this one could be professionally    
restored to become a real beauty.

  Overstreet guides, one being the 8th edition    
  on page 997, which I have drooled over on     
  many occasions. As part of the restoration

LSPA61 A real cutie !... An ULTRA-THIN, very small   Found in 1200.00

  double flutes on side B and a shorter single flute    
  on side A. The basal areas are lightly ground     
  and it has very slight restoration to the top 1/8"    
  of the tip. The authenticator added "This is one    
  of the smallest Folsom points I have examined     
  to date" on the COA, and I'd have to agree with    
  him. Just an outstanding, beautifully flaked and    
delicate piece. Stermer COA

medium brown chert Paleo Crescent.

Oregon
  This one's been around the block a
