Best Set of Points I have ever seen

[pointdlr]

These pieces are in a display case at the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal. If in the area, they are worth the price of admission by themselves. I have been to nearly every museum from Cincinnati to Chicago to NYC and back again. There are some wonderful things in all of them, but this is by far the best flint display. Average size in the case is 6". All the points came from an early Cincinnati collector Judge Thomas Clenay. My favorite is either the Sonora Lostlake or the obnoxious Carter Cave Lost Lake. Knowing a thing or two about value on points, I would put more than one of them over 50K a piece.
Enjoy,
Jon Dickinson.

Beautiful examples sir. They look like they were made yesterday. The ancient skills are amazing. I imagine they are not field finds. Those are the ones you took to the grave with yourself. Even when they were made they probably stood out as the best of the best in that generation. Nice to see them displayed for the public.
Thanks.

I will, having stopped in to drool on that case on more than one occassion, have to agree with everything Jon has said. They are incredible pieces of flint and I am glad he posted them.
