    DevilsRain: It is actually a canteen. The two things protruding out are handles with a small hole through them. The Native Americans would tie leather/sinew/grass/or a form of rope to transport water from their water source down in a valley or gulley up to their caves or pueblos in or on the mountains. Where they would pour it into one of the many tall water pots/vases they had in their dwellings to store their water. (seed containers look very similar to these canteens)

     

    The canteen is dated from 1000-1150. It was a hybrid of three tribes, due to the style, structure and markings. The tribes were: Anasazi, Mimbres and Zuni. This was what we learned via text and than confirmed by Professors of Native American Art/Studies and Archeology at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. (whom we happily allowed to do diggings and research with their students on the Ranch throughout the years)

     

    I found it up in those mountains in a cave in the late 1990s pictured below. This was on our Ranch we owned. It was on a quasi shelf (a fairly flat rock outcropping about 2 yards long and about 18 inches off the rock floor) amongst centuries of pack rat mess and their nests. Not too mention tumbleweeds from God knows when and petrified bear and mountain lion mess.

    (Pretty much every cave or deep overhang on the place contained that and the telltale sign of soot on the ceiling) There appeared to to be other containers, storage pots and cooking pots - but they were at the very least broken into thirds.

     

    Our Ranch was located near Datil & Socorro, NM. One tip of it butted up to the Very Large Array actually. It was called the Double H Ranch and prior to my Father's passing in 2002, he donated it to the RMEF. It was and maybe still is "the largest endowment presented to a conservation group ever." (The Ranch was 135,000 acres)

    Fantastic!!! I cant find a solid 3 to save my life!

     

    They are out there, it's all what you are willing to pay. ;)

    To be honest, I have a slew of HG raw Crow books, but honestly aside from a few people here, most are really cheap.

    I read WTB threads all the time, and own many books that people look for. Unfortunately, my raw 9.8 copper coolness is not to be had for $3 shipped lol ( an example of an offer I was PM'd)

    I did own, for a very short time, the absolute SHARPEST Crow 1 CGC 9.8 you would ever see. And when I sold it, I got the price I wanted.

    Sometimes if you want it bad enough, ya gotta MANNUP :sumo:

    I do wish you luck though, they are extremely tough books, but a great CA run to own (thumbs u

     

    Thanks (thumbs u

     

    I can go as high as 10 on shipping lol.

    Funny story with this sketch.........I got it a while ago but I never showed it....

     

    I never showed it because Stan signed right over Mr. Romita's signature.

     

    So at the most recent Masters I asked Mr. Romita to erase his old name and re-sign. He got a good laugh out of it.

     

    I give you ELECTRO!!!!!!
