RARE FIND EARLY EARLY REAL PIPE TOMAHAWK

Description

THIS PIPE TOMAHAWK WAS FOUND  AT ABANDON HOUSE.  THAT WAS BEING RENOVATED
INTO A RENTAL PROPERTY. IN DAYTON OHIO NEAR A PART OF TOWN CLOSE TO THE SUN WATCH INDIAN VILLAGE AREA. IT IS 221/2 INCHES LONG WITH OUT THE MOUTH PIECE WHICH IS MISSING. THE HEAD IS 91/4 INCHES ACROSS AND THE BLADE 4 INCHES WIDE.--- IT DOES  COME WITH A LETTER CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.---.THIS PIPE TOMAHAWK IS VERY EARLY. IT HAS THE LARGE 3/4 INCH BOWL INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL 1/2 INCH BOWL THAT MOST PIPE TOMAHAWKS HAVE. THIS BASED ON MY RESEARCH AND TALKING TO A PERSON.THAT HELPED ON BALDWIN AND MARK FRANCIS BOOKS. THE HAFT IS TACKED WITH BRASS TACKS. SOME OF THESE TACKS LOOK TO HAVE BEEN ADDED AT DIFFERENT TIME IN IT'S LIFE. THERE WERE 2 IRON TACKS ON IT WHEN GOT IT. BUT WERE READY TO FALL OFF AND HAVE DONE SO. SENSE THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN. BUT IN THE PICTURES YOU WILL SEE THEM. NOW LOOK CLOSE IN THE PICTURES AT THE TACKS. YOU WILL SEE ON BOTH SIDE OF THE HAFT. WHAT LOOKS LIKE HALF OF A ARROW SIGN MEANING --WAR. BACK TO THE LETTER THE IMPORTANT PART OF THIS IS. IT HAS THE PERSON NAME ON IT THAT FOUND THE TOMAHAWK. WHICH IS WHO I ACQUIRED THE PIPE TOMAHAWK FROM. THE OVER ALL CONDITION IS ROUGH BUT IT IS VERY SOLID. IT WAS FOUND IN 2013. IF YOU NEED MORE INFO OR PICTURES LET KNOW. 100% GUARANTEED TO BE REAL --ADDED-- I'VE HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TOMAHAWK. THE HEAD AND THE PETRIFIED WOOD HAFT ARE REAL. THE TACKS HAVE BEEN ADDED AT A LATER TIMES. AGAIN SOME ARE BRASS WITH IRON SHANKS. EVEN THESE COULD DATE TO THE 1880'S TO 1890'S. I HAVE NO IDEAL WHEN THEY WERE ADDED.
