Two scrapers...with a question...& two broken pieces of M's :)

....so...scrapers...I guess they were mostly used for hides? Anything else?

Nice! I like that oyster shell effect on that scraper.
 

The white piece looks like broken noxema bottle glass??
 

The 2 bottom ones looks to be manos
 

Jon- I think you're thinking Pond's cold cream, not Noxema (which would be blue glass). But no-- that's a little scraper. Looks like chalcedony maybe? And yes- primarily to scrape and soften hides. Then comes the 'brain wash'. Good finds! Yakker
 

....thanks guys! That white scraper is "real stone" not "store bought"...honest.. lol I guess like yakker said some sort of chalcedony but very opaque...will post another maybe better pic.....
