DESCRIPTION: This is an extremely vague description of this one-man collection. There is a VERY detailed catalog online at www.folgersauctionservice.com. Many pictures are included in the catalog. Almost all items were found by him directly, with only a few being purchased by a prior owner. The collection was found in one of the oldest documented Spoon River Native American Indian archeological local sites. Washed out of a bottom ground cornfield are 97 RARE Paleo figurines of Shamans, Venuses, Ice Age animals (turtles, fish, owl, buffalo, camel, beaver, snakes, bear, elk, mammoths and more. There are also Shaman medicine stones, Ice Age erotica, arrowheads and tools. Items also include a Paleo scalpel, over 40 Paleo and Archaic hand axes, hammers, scrapers and points of various sizes and types, 5 sling shot loads/game balls, 11 Coprolites (fossilized Dino poop, one is five lbs. and shaped like Illinois oddly enough). Also featured are hand-made replica weapons mounted w/imitation Eagle feathers, beads, turkey feathers, and authentic Spoon River artifacts on deer bone or wormwood-willow handles from this same site. Unrelated projectile points and various items will also be offered. This is a very unique auction that we will conduct gallery style one at a time. Plan to attend on time. The legion is comfortable and cool, so come join us for this unique and informational auction.
