OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS I AM GOING TO BE LISTING A NUMBER OF ITEMS COLLECTED BY THE LATE TERRY SCHULTZ OF CHICAGO HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS WHO PASSED AWAY IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR.  TERRY COLLECTED OVER MOST OF HIS 77 YEARS, FOCUSING HIS ATTENTION ON A WIDE VARIETY OF ARTIFACTS, BOTH PREHISTORIC AND HISTORIC, INCLUDING STONE ITEMS, BASKETS AND POTTERY, PRE-COLUMBIAN ARTIFACTS, FUR-TRADE ERA ARTIFACTS, PLAINS INDIAN BEADWORK, CATLINITE AND OTHER PIPES, AND NUMEROUS 18TH AND 19TH CENTURY WEAPONS, TOOLS AND MISC. ARTIFACTS.  TERRY WAS A WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED COLLECTOR AND SURFACE HUNTER WHO HAD A GOOD EYE FOR RARITY AND AUTHENTICITY.  HIS CATALOG ENTRIES GO BACK TO THE 1960'S, THOUGH HE BEGAN FINDING ARTIFACTS IN THE KANKAKEE, ILLINOIS AREA AS A YOUNG BOY IN THE MID 1950'S.  THIS LISTING IS FOR A CIRCA 1900-1920 ENGRAVED CATLINITE AXE.  THESE DECORATIVE PIECES WERE MADE IN THE LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURIES AS TOURIST ITEMS AT THE PIPESTONE QUARRIES IN MINNESOTA.  THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE MEASURING 7 1/2" LONG AND IT IS GUARANTEED TO BE GENUINE.
