Message:: [QUOTE="Firemandk, post: 4435403, member: 7258"]Interesting to look at , [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] . I have a halibut hook i will have to post for your opinion. It has age , but not sure how old it is . My Friend Mrs. Smythe who died around 1979 at age 80 plus gave it to me when I was a kid . Her father had been an archeologist / anthropologist in New Mexico / Arizona when she was a little girl , and she had traveled to China in 1926 and lived there as her husband was a geologist working in the oil industry . She had amazing Native American baskets all over her house , she kept sea shells and things in them , when she passed , they were either sold at a garage sale  or her family took them....never did find out , as she passed in a rest home shortly after they put her there . She had dementia at the end .... Wonderful woman, taught all us kids a lot , had all the national Geographics since 1898 and would allow us to look at them whenever we wanted . I owe her a lot  , as she shaped my interest in the world ........[/QUOTE]
