I bid the most. In the second picture, you can see what the rock really is. It's a fossilized Grinch face! Bid away! Very rare.

Nice Prehistoric Stone Effigy Native American Artifact
"If you think for any reason that any piece is not authentic treat it as if it is a reproduction..........You know better than I do if they are reproductions, all I know is that it came out of this box."

You got that right. It's all about "supply and demand". When there's no one ignorant enough to to buy a worthless cure for something the snake oil salesmen disappear.
For a moment, I was ready to say, it wasn't that much different a hundred and 120 years ago, when there were 100's of different elixirs on the market to cure-whatever ales you. However that would've been a bad analogy. Why?
Because the most of those elixirs contained 20-30% grain alcohol.
The fact is, most who drank them weren't so ignorant as to believe that they were actually cures, they just found their sufferings not as unbearable under the influence of alcohol.
And of course, there were others (fundamentalists and pietist Christians) who having been taught that alcoholic consumption was a sin, except when used for medicinal purposes .
My grandmother is a good example. She'd been taught that alcohol was evil unless for medicinal purposes , but she ALWAYS kept a large supply on hand, but only for medicinal purposes
Funny thing is, she was always coming down with something and needing some medicine!
If there's a moral to this story,I guess it is just to say that way to great of a percentage of people now days are a bunch of mind dumb robots.
At least grandma new what she was really paying for?
