18th Century Folding Knife Dug at Indian Village

Description

Large 18th Century Folding Knife

Dug in Good Hart, Michigan, site of L’Arbre Croche, or the Crooked Tree – an important Ottawa site from the 17th and 18th century.  Probably a British trade item during the Fur Trade Era.  It does have a maker’s mark, though I haven’t found the maker as of yet.

Probably one of my favorites.
