THREE OLD CALIFORNIA DRILLS WITH DOCS - - NR
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:25014260 |
Here are three nice old drills found in 1934, 1936 and 1937. The 1934 one was found at Mustang on Vandegrift Ranch in Yolo County. The 1936 one was found in Nevada and the 1937 one was found at Hollister in Sacramento County. They all measure approx. 1-3/4" long and have no repairs.
All these beads and/or artifacts are from the same collection and I do have docs on them all. S.A. Martine is the gentleman that did the collecting with permission from the land owners back in the 1930's...-40's. The collection has been in storage since the 1950's and all the items have been tagged and all of them are from within a 45 mile radius of Sacramento, California with the exception of a site at Point Conception in Santa Barbara County and several sites in the state of Nevada, again with permission on private property.
Mr. Martine was well known at the time and was recognized as having the most comprehensive collection of Sacramento Valley artifacts ever amassed and worked closely with Sacramento City College and the University of California. He kept a comprehensive dig log and tagged his finds with site location and date recovered.
The collection was put into storage in the 1950's and has recently been released for sale by the family and we are fortunate enough to be able to offer this wonderful collection of beads, stone and bone tools and some of the nicest Stockton type points and blades we have ever seen.
The starting bid is low and there's no reserve so have fun and thanks for looking. I accept Paypal and am flexible with other options. If you have any questions, please email me. The high bidder pays for shipping and insurance. Unfortunately California residents must pay 8.25% for sales tax unless you have a resale number.
I give full refunds including one-way shipping if the high bidder is not happy with their item for any reason, you have up to 30 days from your first win to bid on and win more items before paying. If you win 2 items or more, shipping is free and includes my $2.00 handling fee. For multiple item winners, please email me when you're ready for me to ship and please do not pay until I've sent a revised invoice.
I charge $2.00 for handling and my shipping rates are the same as USPS and UPS. If you prefer first class shipping please email me before paying so I can send an adjusted invoice.
International buyers are responsible for any additional customs and/or tax charges.
