Flint Axe Blade of Neolithic Britain. England, c. 4th millenium BC. The elongated blade roughly biconvex, and fashioned of mottled deep gray flint. The stone rough knapped to shape, and then sharpened and finished with grinding and polishing. Intact -- the blade still sharp and usable. Length: 8-3/8". With old applied lable stating: "Found at Mills works, Church End, Finchlly. Nov 1905." A good example.
Estimated Value $650-750.
