The Stagecoach Lane Collection
Points assembled by ******** during the
1960's.
Current Collection of: Rob Horne
All points were labeled "Midwestern U.S." with no other details.
This is the first "collection" I've purchased and provenance on these heads is
sketchy. They belonged to the father of the woman who sold them and she was
reticent about allowing his name to be published. I believe they were all
purchased by him and none were personal finds. The price for the collection was
very good but I have doubts about the authenticity of one of the points and I've
listed that in the description below. I do believe the seller when she said they
were collected in the 60's and that helps a little when making the assumption
that they are authentic.
None were typed and simply
labeling a point as Midwestern is not especially helpful when trying to identify
and classify an artifact. I've done the best I can but would welcome any advice
if someone is inclined to help.
