Mr. Ed Blue and his wife lived beside my grandparents in Tryon N.C. When me and my brother would visit we would go over and look at the guns Mr Blue had. He knew we where in to Indian arrowheads and one day pulled this celt out of the bottom of a tool box. He said he found this when he was a kid when some road work was been done and sand was being dumped from a near by creek in front of his home in Polk County. This had to be sometime in the 30's. He said they played with it as a kid and even put a handle on it. They even put it to the grinding wheel where the handle was. Luckily not to bad. At the time I was about 9 and my brother about 13. He sold it to my brother for 5 dollars. He was a really great man that treated us like his own grandkids
