1EW  -  EXCEPTIONAL GUNSTOCK WAR CLUB C.1810-40  (This description was written by Dale years ago, but I never got to putting it on the website).  Ex-Museum. The old museum tag (chipped) seems to read “Fort Totten D--/From Th--/--------/Ch------(could say Chippewa)”. 29 1/2" long, nicely carved from what appears to be oak, with an incised border line still retaining good remains of original red color. Flat iron trade spear point makes this a formidable weapon. Wood has nice, handsome patina. Totally original and untouched. Has pendant to upper end, black hair braids, and flattened early brass military buttons on chains. Shipped postpaid.  $10,000  Sale Price...$5,500

2EW  -  GORGEOUS C.1850-60 SHEFFIELD EAGLE FOLDING KNIFE  I believe this is silver, and is beautifully made.  Both sides of the grip have a spread eagle over shield, and decorative panels left and right.  Two smaller pieces of what I believe is horn, and abalone flank the eagle, this on both sides of the grip.  Overall 9 1/2" long.  The main blade is 4 3/8" long, and is stamped with "W M NICHOLSON SYCAMORE ST SHEFFIELD".  The short blade is 2 5/8" long, with the same stampings.  There is some minor pitting, and the large blade shows signs of being sharpened, and not done so well.  Generally, the grip pieces are in beautiful condition, showing light use/handling.  Beautiful piece Dale had packed away for decades.  $1,950  Sale Price $1,495

3EW  -  EXEPTIONAL PIPE TOMAHAWK C.1860-70'(This description was written by Dale years ago, but I never got to putting it on the website when he was alive).  Like our gunstock war club (in the Early section), this one was retained in our personal collection for the past 25 years because they are among the very best we've found. Handsome; beautifully made. Fitted with a prime head 9" tall, with functional pipe. The blade is pierced with three holes located below 1" crossed arrows, which may or may not signify or be the emblem of Indian Scouts in this instance. It appears hand punched on both sides. The head is mounted on a spectacular haft 22.5" long. It is entirely file branded, covering every surface with additional fire-branded repeating pyramids along the bottom on one side, and mostly as well on the opposite side. Added to this are two fringed hide cuffs, and a long, fine black hair pendant. We don't know what type hair it is. It seems to us too fine for horse hair. Also on the pendant are hawk bell, bead and red trade cloth decorations. Couple wraps of sinew cord were added where the head joins haft...meant to maintain tightness of joint. An absolutely prime, original, untouched specimen. Fine condition.  Shipped Postpaid.  $14,000  Sale Price $9,500

1F  - ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR MUSKET PRIMERS PERCUSSION CAPS FOR SHARPS+  Found this bag of 12 original Civil War percussion caps in Dale's desk, while cleaning out things.  He obviously believed they are real, and wrote "PELLET PRIMERS (SHARPS+) + MUSKET CAPS ORIG!" on the plastic bag.  If he wasn't sure they were original, he wouldn't have written that on the bag.  At the same time, he also kept a couple bags full of repro items as reference material that he continually acquired, to help him stay current what was out there in the growing market of reproductions (over 40-50 years). He knew Civil War stuff for nearly 50 years, and so I will pass these on for sale with all confidence.  $20  Sale Price $10
