| Reference Number: Avaluer:15471579 | Modified Item: No |
LARGE AUTHENTIC HIGHLY DEVELOPED 3/4 GROOVE WISCONSIN AXE FROM THE A.E. AVERY COLLECTION, CATALOGED IN 1943
NOT LONG AGO I PURCHASED A SMALL ARTIFACT COLLECTION FROM AN ESTATE IN DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS. THE COLLECTION WAS ASSEMBLED BY THE LATE STEPHEN FAJNOR AND HIS FATHER, WHO BOUGHT THE BETTER PART OF IT BUT ALSO FOUND A NUMBER OF ITEMS ALONG THE DES PLAINES RIVER IN COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS. SEVERAL OF THE PURCHASED ITEMS CAME OUT OF A COLLECTION CATA...LOGED BY A MR. A.E. AVERY IN 1943. AVERY COLLECTED IN THE VERY EARLY PART OF THE 1900'S. HE SURFACE HUNTED SITES FROM WISCONSIN TO ALABAMA AND MENTIONS IN HIS CATALOG MEETING WARREN K. MOOREHEAD WHILE SURFACE HUNTING AT THE CAHOKIA SITE. THIS LISTING IS FOR WHAT IS SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A WISCONSIN "UNFLUTED FLUTED AXE". FOUND BY AVERY IN WISCONSIN, THE AXE MEASURES 6 3/4" LONG AND HAS A DEEP HIGHLY POLISHED SLANT GROOVE WITH RAISED RIDGES. THERE IS POLE DAMAGE, BUT THE AXE IS STILL IMPOSING AND A FINE EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE. IT IS GUARANTEED TO BE GENUINE.
