Great SNYDERS point that measures 2 9/16" long by 2 1/4" wide.  Snyder points are from the Late Archaic to Woodland periods dating in the 2,500 to 1,500 BP range.  A multi-purpose Hopewell tool used as a tip for Atlatl spears, cutting knives, and even scrappers.  Some were made to be used as Ceremonial Offerings also.  This type is probably one of the most modern reproduced points made, so be very careful when buying one on eBay!   This point was found in the LaSalle County, Illinois.   Made out of a fine piece of cream Burlington chert.  A very well made, showy piece with great hook barbs.  This one must have been very large before resharpening.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Wonderful old-time collectors here.  This piece was originally in the collection of Ed Buel of Jefferson City, Missouri (Who's Who #1, #4).  It was eventually acquired by Joe Kinker of St. Louis, Missouri (Who's Who #6, #7, #11, #12).  Mr. Kinker's sticker is still on the point from when he received it and it is pictured in WW #6.  It was sold to John Bermer of Roswell, Georgia (Who's Who #10).  I bought this point from Mr. Berner in 1997, and it has been in my collection since.  It will come with my artifact sheet and is now time to find a new caregiver for this old-time piece.  Buy only real, authentic artifacts!

I have been collecting relics for over thirty years and I am a current or former member of the following societies: Genuine Indian Relic Society (GIRS), Central States Archaeological Society (CSAS), Authentic Artifact Collectors Association (AACA), and Arrowpack.  

Provenience and Provenance of each and every artifact is very important to me, and everything I own I have researched from the original finder - if known - right up to present time.  All of this data will be included with every item I sell for all future generations.
