Wolf Watcher:
:o Great Job on the toothpick! Have always said its amazing what you can find hidding in a rock!! Have always marveled at the way some of the old time people could make identical points. Except for Ishi hunting points from good materials, I have always just taken what the stone gave me!! Wonder what they used a toothpick for?
D. Tiller:
Only thing I can think of to use that for is stabing something!
cowboy:
Thanks all! I don't know what it would have been used for Joe, a blade of course but looks like it'd only be good for stabbing - maybe ritual/ceremonial?
That's interesting Keenan! Wish I could find one like that. My book tells me a type II, G10, nine inche's long goes for $6,000+ :o.
cowboy:
We figured the same D, were typing same time. Also says the stem was ground for wrapping or hafting a grip/handle.
mullet:
Overstreets' book's are out of date on price's. It would probally be worth twice that at a show.
