Found by Warren K. Moorehead in Ohio and Pictured in a 1902 book! 3 3/4" x 2 11/16" gorget made from beautiful green and black banded slate. This is an exceptionally well documented artifact! It is also, I believe, the only known artifact to surface in the last 100 years that was pictured in the 1902 book "Archaeological History of Ohio" by Gerard Fowke on page 567. Found by Warren K. Morehead in 1897, his catalog number "17988" can be seen written on the artifact in the book photo. As it appears to have been written in chalk, it has rubbed off over the years. Some traces of chalk are still visisble on the surface. T. Hugh Young bought this gorget from Morehead and later sold it to Dr. Stanley Copeland. Copeland sold to Jon Wagoner and September 7, 1964 for $12. Wagoner then sold to Dennis Burgess on May 9, 1987 $200. Burgess eventually sold it to Jerry Polly who was the consignor. A copy of the hardbound book "Archaeological History of Ohio" will be included with this lot for documentation. This truly is a highly collectible artifact.
