**Originally Listed At $300**

Native American, Pacific Northwest Coast, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A great collection of stone tools and projectile points that served a variety of hunting and utilitarian uses. Each piece is hand-knapped, which involves hitting a harder stone against the soft slate to flake the piece into the desired form. Eleven are made from a gray slate and are various sizes and shapes. One has a short neck with notched fins, ideal for hafting on a pole, and another has a channel or groove on both sides that would also assist in hafting. The largest two may have been hand tools for chopping or scraping. One small projectile tip is made from black obsidian stone. Obsidian is razor sharp when flaked and treasured for this quality as well as its attractive glossy opaque surface. Size of largest: 6" L x 1.75" W (15.2 cm x 4.4 cm); obsidian point: 2.125" L x .65" W (5.4 cm x 1.7 cm)

Provenance: private southwestern Pennsyvania, USA collection, ex-MacLeod collection
