Hello. This is my first post.
My wife and I inherited some Native American Items that were found cir. 1875 or earlier by her Great Great Grandma in the Wind River and Kemmerer area of western Wyoming.
There is a very unique soapstone bowl that is black on one side. Stained from fire and smoke over time I assume. Also a spearhead and a large ax head or tomahawk.
Several points too and flint pieces.
I would truly appreciate any help identifying the items and establishing some sort of value. Although, to me, they are priceless.
Thanks for all the information on a great site.

Just now noticed this and it's late, but hey Deadwood, I think it's too cool your wife's great-great collected these when the descendants of the original owners were still around and she got to keep her hair! I don't know about monetary value, but it's priceless in other respects.
 

I LOVE Kemmerer!! If I could choose any place to live it would be in that area or the Medicine Bow area. Wish I could help w/ ID'ing, but for that I am useless. I am oooohing & ahhhhing tho. You can bet grannies bloomers on that!!!
