The workmanship intrigues me also, but I think what gets me is the connection I feel for the history. Going to museums used to be one of my favorite things to do. It's been a while... The yellow Jasper scraper sounds pretty special. Once in some classroom I was checking out some stone tool that was multi-purpose, like part scraper, part knife, etc., it was kind of square, about 3-4 inches. It was some nice workmanship.

Sounds like you did some collecting for somebody. I don't blame you for not wanting to keep any of those, but if you did find some on your own time, that would be different.

Once I found some little motorcycle/jack-knife in the garden that looked like it was probably from the 50's. -
(it looked like a little toy motorcycle, but it had a blade like a jack-knife.) I thought it was sort of cool and kept it for a year or so, but I think I threw it away one day.
