Pictured is a 3 1/2 inch Hopewell blade made of grey with blue hues Flint Ridge flint. I work for an artifact auction company and spend the cash I'm paid there to buy artifacts at the sales I work.
Formerly in the Rex Carr collection.

Yes, I work for Bob Converse.

The small blades sold between $350- $475 (there was an absentee bid of $500 for each)
The large blade went for $2250 (same buyer as all of the little ones)

So I believe the 14 blades from the cache went for a little under $8000.
