Bannerstone closeups

[rock ON.]

Some closeups of the bannerstones from that gun auction collection.

The one in the upper right might not be a bannerstone. The hole should be much rounder, like in the one on the bottom. That could be a broken section to a tube pipe. Need to see the other end of that, and the sides and other hole on the bottom one. The hole looks really small, so that's maybe a smaller tube bannerstone, or a tube pipe also.

Might have just been the angle, here's some more pics.


You can't see right through it because there is dirt in the middle that I didn't think I should try to remove.

OK I see it. It's a tube bannerstone with one flat side. You can remove the dirt inside, it won't hurt it. Maybe a Q-Tip will reach that far. Just use a little running water and something soft to poke the dirt out.
