Hello everyone. I've been digging through the internet trying to find out some information about a stone ax head (?) and a mortar/pestle set that I purchased at an estate auction. I apologize if this isn't the place to post this kind of thing, but I really don't know what I have (if anything).
Anyway, the axe head is about 3 inches long and about 1 inch wide. There are two concave groves. One around the waist and the other along the bottom. I don't have any information other than. The mortar is about 3 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches tall. The Pestle is about 6 x 2 x 1.I've attached a few picture to help. The one thing that the picture don't convey is the very solid and very smooth feel of each object it almost makes me suspect that they are contemporary.
The only thing I know about these things is that they probably came from somewhere south/central Wisconsin because that is where the previous owner lived (Menomonee Falls).
