Latest auction find.

Rockhunter in Ohio · Mar 13, 2007

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.

Cheers!

Hey guessing but are you working the Converse auction? If so what did those Luchens cache blades go for they had up for auction?

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.
