Description from book[edit]

a) represents a dagger, ten inches long and one inch wide where broadest. The flat surface is corrugated, and on each side there is a continuous ridge for a considerable distance, as if left by the imperfect junction of the two parts of the flask. (Locality, Waukesha, Wis.)

b) is a chisel, seven inches long, one and a fourth inches broad at widest point, and a little more than a quarter of an inch thick. Both of the broad surfaces are roughly ridged, and the sides show the marks of a mould. (Locality, Waterford, Wis.)

c) is a spear-head, with a haft for insertion into a handle. Length, nine inches ; breadth, at the widest part, one and an eighth inch. The general surface is quite smooth, showing little corrosion. On either side there is a sharp ridge, which I think clearly indicates the marks left by the mould. (Locality, Trenton, Wis.)

d) is an awl sixteen inches long, and three-eighths of an inch in its greatest diameter. It is traversed longitudinally by three thin ridges, such as would be left by a sand-mould now in use. Mr. Perkins had another specimen, similar in design, three feet long, and nearly an inch in its greatest diameter, which was unfortunately lost. (Locality, Barton,Wisconsin.)

e) is a symmetrical spear-head, four and a half inches long. The surface displays a set of delicate longitudinal lines, with the marks of the mould strongly ridged on each side. (Locality, Farmington, Wis.)

f) is a spear-head, with a socket, five and a quarter inches in length. The thrusting part is ground down smooth, and the socket, at the point of attachment, has the appearance of having been cast, not formed by hammering. There are seven indentations, which Mr. Perkins conjectures were, perhaps, the record of events in the life of the possessor.
