Nice color on that one. Ive never seen one like it before so Im no help other than telling you it is a fine looking piece.

That is a great find! I'm no help on identifying it either but it's a beauty whatever it is!

It's has been changed so much you may never know what it was, but it could have been a Dalton, very good find

Flightline - It definitely could be, but if I was guessing (which I'm about to do) I'd say you're in the right time frame but it's more likely from an early side notch than from a Dalton. Great find regardless, and I think the age is about right either way. Perfect drills are always a cool find.

I would be willing to bet money that wasn't a Dalton. It appears to be a side-notched archaic knife (made of heat-altered material) that was completely whittled down.

My guess is more like an exhausted Graham Cave.
