Description
Measures about 4-3/4" long. Provenance: From old private collection of Native American artifacts, including arrowheads, tools and other stone items. Collection in today's sale (lots 324-331) was apparently at least partly assembled by H.A. Pride of Holland Patent, NY (Oneida Co.), listed in the 1898 Naturalists Directory (page 153) as a paleontologist and geologist with a special interest in Indian artifacts. Some of the items are labeled or written on, one polisher (in lot 329) bears an old 1890s label indicating that the piece was found by Pride on a particular farm. This item can be shipped in-house.
