Spent a week going through a few boxes of finds from years past. Mostly brokes and scrapers etc. Found this dove in one and tried to do a little restoration. First attempt at it and looks better but still a broke. Wont put it in a frame as it would cast doubt on everything. Made 4 attempts and finally got it fair. Tried different things but wound up crushing a piece of flint about the same color down to flower fine then mixed it with epoxy and filled in the missing areas shown in the 3rd pic. Box was marked 89 IL. Don't remember where for sure but do remember it was a creek find, hard to forget a find like that but managed to. It's 4 " long. Looks better but sure wish it would of been whole. O well another batch of boxes next week, might try a 2/3 clovis I know is somewhere up there.
