Hand scraper from western Kentucky, it fits hand good . It's seen a hide or two , highly polished on scraping side.

[tomclark]

Great wear on that!!

Here is a hand full that have come my way over the years.

[BabaORiley]

Nice ones there. The two on the right are cool. The lower right is some nice lithic and the upper looks kinda heavy duty...

[Bayport]

BabaORiley... the top right lithic is a neally nice Hornstone, with part of the blue quartz center. The lower right one is on Nethers Flint Ridge from Ohio.

I love that banded one, very nice.

[tomclark]

Killers! I'll say again that back in the day you could buy scrapers and tools for almost nothing at shows. Boxes of them to choose from

[Bayport]

Well... you are probably right. These were just part of the contents of group lots I acquired to get the 1 or 2 pieces I really wanted. I kept everything, because I like to study how different materials patinate. That was one of my ways of sorting out artifacts from artifakes.

[CTex]

Found these on the same day about 400 yards apart

Some of you know I "specialize" in shell tools from my area but scrapers and tools are my second loves. Tools have more "essence" of the maker for me.
