Stringtown Lanceolate Dagger 6 1/8" Harrodsburg Fossil St Louis MO G10+ Video

Description: 3499-2024) Stringtown Lanceolate or Dagger made of heavily spring or river patinated Harrodsburg crinoid fossil chert with beautiful orange brown white and black mottling. This G10+ specimen measures at 6 1/8” x 1 ¼” x 7/16” and has bifacial collateral pressure flaking resulting in a median ridge on the dorsal face with a touch of a ridge on the ventral face on the stem up halfway in the blade. The tip is in excellent condition and the stem is square and moderately edge ground resulting in weak shouldering. Was reportedly found on private property located in Saint Louis County, Missouri ex Floyd Ritter, Dan Peeler Collections. This is a no brainer ancient authentic artifact investment museum quality. Was likely hafted in a bone knife and either served as a personal defensive thrusting dagger or was a status piece worn by the maker. For me in all of my 45+ years collecting it is the best example of the type I have seen.PS Am considering having Dwain Rogers certify and opine on typology. Consensus among some of my closest collecting friends is that this is a Stringtown Lanceolate. Dan thought this was a Kramer, however this relic has such strong median ridges and is edge ground on the stem with weak shoulders that it looks and feels like early archaic technology to me.Will properly protect during shipping by carefully bubble wrapping, secure with double boxing, packing paper, and extra shipping tape. We will pay for insurance and signature confirmation as required.
