Personal History: I am 76 years old, I grew up on the Tennessee River. When I was young we did not have TV so us kids would roam the river banks and climb in caves. I have sold & gifted buckets full of points, but kept the best including pottery, pipes, banner stones, boat stones, ceremonial spuds and more. I will continue to add more each day, while I am feeling good. This pipe came from the “rameycollection”, my father was born in 1884 in Lyon Co.KY. My father worked and hunted from TN, KY to the Mississippi River. I was fortunate to have received family found artifacts along with what I found as child. To enable me to present some very special museum quality artifacts. Questions welcomed!
