If they are all authentic, you have one heck of a frame. My guess is that they are probably not personal finds.,Just becouse of the fine rare points I see in the frame as well as the killer pipe ,banner etc. I have been at it for 22 years and can not put a personal find frame together, that would come close to touching that, Is the only reason I am saying that. I see some in that frame that look almost to dern good to be true. WOW. I noticed this is your first post, So welcome to the Forum. Look forward to hearing a little more about the points in that frame. Looks like some of the frames I see at the shows. John
One of the points is a personal find. The brown thebes with the black line is a personal find I found when I was 10. I spent countless hours looking at collections to put this frame together. I have purchased 15 of the pieces in the frame directly from the finder or their family. The hourglass was formely in the Edward Payne Collection and is pictured in his book in the 1930's. It then went into Byron Knoblocks collection, T.Hugh Youngs collection of Nashville, TN. It can be seen in his collection in Legends of Prehistoric Art. From the Young Collection it went to Clem Caldwell's collection of Danville,Ky. I purchased it from Clem when I was in the 8th grade. I had to save money for almost 3 years to buy the piece. If anyone has any questions about any specific piece let me know and I'll try and help. I'm hoping to add some more pictures soon.
Real nice stuff for sure! I like the river stained, Holland/Dalton the most. I usually only hunt waterways, so I am kinda partial to the tanic acid stain on flint. Welcome bud, and hope to see more pics.
Very nice frame Mooch. I've seen them in person and can say that pictures doesn't do 'em justice. That's a really nice assemblage and it takes a long time to build a frame like that one. I really love the material on that bottom banner. That's a great piece.
I am absolutely in Love with the white serrated Hardin point in the upper left hand corner. what a fine piece. Is that also a Mo. point? Great frame. John
