A few eye candy pictures from Collinsville

[Mark Todd]

Only took a few pictures at the Collinsville Show last weekend. We walked the collection tables for seven hours and still had to blitz the last several aisles to see most of the stuff.
Taking pictures was problematic because of the ceiling lighting reflecting off of the glass covered framed cases.
Could have taken hundreds of pictures but just didn't have time.

The head effigy was just a little larger than the average human head today, the blades were six or seven inches long

I like that blade bought for ten cents! Lol. Even in the mid 70's that must have been a steal! Thanks for the mini tour!

Tazwell County borders the Illinois River and is rich in artifacts. That blade has a beautiful strawberry swirl in it and although it's shaped like an Etly the napping is Paleo.

I asked the lady sitting behind the table if she new anything more about it, she said I'd have to talk to her husband but he was off talking to some other collector and I never got back to ask him.
