Prehistoric Artifact Auction

Featuring the personal collection of Sam Johnson. A fifty year collection of rare and fine artifacts - many being published in archaeological books and publications. We are pleased to offer over 200 artifacts from the collection. In this offering are some of Sam's finest pieces. The entire cache of Caddo Celts found by Sam at Cossatot some 30 years ago will be sold. Relics from Crenshaw, many found by Sam's mentor Glenn Kizza are also a part of this sale. Sam Johnson is considered a leading expert on all types of pottery, but his focus has been the art of the ancient Caddo Culture. An array of documented Caddo (and Mississippian) pottery masterpieces will be offered. Each item noted as a part of the Sam Johnson collection is eligible for a Caddo Trading Certificate of Authenticity for a reduced rate of $20 per item. We are also pleased to offer a significant portion of the late Leo Paul Davis Collection. Mr. Davis was featured in Who's Who in Indian Relics #3 (1972) and #7 (1988). Many of his finest flint artifacts will be offered in this auction. Many will remember the large Snyders and North Blades from his well known frames. A group of artifacts from Spiro Mound (LeFlore, OK) are also included in this sale. Acquired from Gilbert Dilley's Grandson, these relics (including a large T-Pipe) have been in storage in the Dilley collection for decades. Two other additions to the auction have provided a large group of Stone Artifacts and Midwestern Flint. We will be offering the second part of the Tony Podkanowicz Collection. This lifetime collection includes many Axes, Celts and Pestles. The collection of the Lewis McDaniel is being introduced in this sale. It consists many fine Lost Lakes, Dovetails and Paleo pieces that were collected during the 1960's. Don't miss this fine and varied offering of Prehistoric (and a few Historic) Artifacts.
