The lot features an excellent spiked tomahawk from the Northeastern Atlantic Coastal American Indians dating to circa 1730-1770. The piece shows spiked tomahawk war club pattern with the curved spike being especially long in relation to the shorter blade. The spike is square at the elongated oval eyelet hole which then tapers gradually to its point. The eyelet hole is raised and crudely forged flowing into the triangular axe blade which has a slight curved wide blade. The piece was examined by Jacky Luper and found to be an authentic circa 1730-1770 Spiked Tomahawk from the Northeastern Atlantic Coastal Region North from Pennsylvania and likely of British blacksmith origin. The piece is incredibly similar to the example found in Harold L. Peterson’s 1965 “American Indian Tomahawk” book figure / photograph 67. Page 95 being attributed as a Spiked Tomahawk from New York State mid-18th Century with a long-curved spike and relatively short blade. Provenance: From a historic Eastern Montana American Indian Collection, where the piece was found to be an authentic original, one of the finest collections of American Indian weaponry and antiquities in Montana. Measures 8.5”L with the blade being 2.5”L and the piece being 1” thick.
