8. Lueke Collection - Many of the southwestern and gem points from the northwest coast area came from the Bud Lueke collection. Bud owned the Museum of the Americas in SanDiego California. He has since passed away but the museum is ran by his wife and is still open to the public.
9. Daniel Merritt Collection - Mr. Merritt collected during the 1940's, '50's , and '60's . He collected artifacts as he traveled across the United States but mostly from the southwest and Arkansas. His sons, Kevin and Butch inherited his collection upon his passing and have decided to disburse it so that it can be shown the people around the world on our site.
10. The Junius Jamieson Collection - Mr. Jamieson collected during the 1920's in the state of Wisconsin. He handed down his collection first to his son who then passed it along to his grandson. We are pleased to be able to show such a variety of point types and material from this area.
11. The Wyoming Collection - This collection was collected in the red desert of area of Wyoming . This collection has a wide variety points made of different types of agates and cherts.
12. The Egyptian Collection - These Fayum type points are from about 60 miles south of Cario on the west side of the nile river and came from a private collection.
13. The French Collection - These points are from a private collection in Italy.
14. The Henderson Cache - We greatly appreicate Dave selling these lithic masterpieces to the museum. These finely chipped points are made of obsidian. Most are translucent with many having beautiful lines visable when held to the light. They were discovered approximately 40 years ago by Dave and his father, Elmer Henderson along the Sacramento River in Redding California.
15. These 2 very fine translucent South Dakota points were purchased in the early 1980's by my father , Tom Richardson, from an elderly couple who found them over 75 years ago. He then sold them to long time friend, Tommy Beutell of North Carolina who has taken care of them for all of these years and has now graciously allowed me to purchase them back for inclusion in the museum so the world can veiw and appreciate them. The smallest one has a normal size straight pin next to the notch to show exactly how narrow and fine it truly is. It is considered the finest ancient small point from South Dakota.
16. The Ron Poore Collection - This collection consisted of a wide variety of points all found along the Mississippi River areas of Calhoun and Pike Counties in Illinois and Pike and Lincoln Counites in Missouri. These 4 counties were only divided by the river. Mr. Poore collected during the late 1950's and 1960's. Part of the collection was displayed at the Owensboro, Ky. Show in August of 2007.
We would like to thank all of the above people for allowing us to purchase their collection of artifacts. Now we can share them all around the world with those who also have the interest that either they or their loved ones had in artifacts.
