Another really great artifact show. 80* Wx brought out a big crowd of dealers / exhibitors & admirers

Re: COLLINSVILLE IL SHOW 2012

I had noticed several displays with really long "drills"..then I spotted this noteworthy collection.

Here's another exhibitors collection...( size scale on R side )

In my opinion;;;whatever the original owners were using these drills for,,,it was not for "drilling"

Re: COLLINSVILLE IL SHOW 2012

Affirmative ! In the past sixty years fewer than 10% of the "drills" I've examined under high magnification exhibited wear patterns consistent with drilling activity. Perforators, punches, scribers, engravers,......call 'em whatever you want but they're not drills.

Texas was well represented at the show.

Aside from beautiful craftsmanship, Dan seeks out the most exotic materials from all over the world...
Look for Dan at the Temple show, usual location in the front entry foyer.

My favorite point has been sold.
It was made out of a piece of Coprolite
