  • Interesting Collection for sale on the Bay

    I know there has been a lot of talk about all the worthless points on the eBay lately. I like to check it out occasionally. I ran across this last night. In my opinion (Meaningless) These look pretty authentic. You dont see very many nice examples of authentic Clovis. (Not affiliated in any way shape or form to this post...) If i broke any rules posting this -please remove. Would you guys consider these Museum quality or at least authentic examples?
    These Museum Quality Montana / Wyoming Projectile points are part of a large collection of projectile points and other artifacts found by my father-in-law. He has been hunting and collecting for over 60 years and is very knowledgeable of these pieces and their origins.

    Museum quality isn’t really a museum term. I have some broken fluted points that Dennis Stanford at the Smithsonian really wanted me to donate to their research collection, and some expensive stuff that he probably wouldn’t have even picked up at glanced at twice.

    That collection, I’d love to see better pictures. I’d bet those broken Edens are cool, that frame of side notches probably has some gems, there is a Goshen point that looks great. The collector traded with people as well, so there is always a risk that the big flashy Clovis and Scottsbluff points aren’t what they seem.

    I don't know. I wouldn't trust it. It seems to me that this seller took a few real ones, and mixed them in with flintknapped points. It's a good trick I've seen a few times. Personally, I think just the Clovis would be at 2k by now, not the entire collection of rare artifacts.

    Check out Mamoth run castings. Whole family of collectors and they do good work. They are very fairly priced too.
