AUCTION ENDS with real time online bidding at 10:00AM on Friday, August 1, 2025. Items may be added up to preview.
EDS Fine Estate Auctions presents a selection of Native American Lithic Artifacts from the Garrett Collections. This collection features artifacts from his finds and collections with the earliest items marked from Dennis Garrett's childhood in the1940's. Dennis was a prolific hunter and collector, as items range from personal finds to many items bought from hunters and collectors during his years in the antique business. He frequented the GIRS shows in Columbus, Owensboro and other locations, always looking for those special finds. As with any major artifact auction we brought them to Davis Artifact of Frankfort KY to look at the Garrett collection, including having them grade some items. Everything in this auction was either looked at by Davis or is being sold in the original frames with tags and as much history as possible. This is the last session of this collection. Hardstone, slate, flints & cherts, bone and unusual examples are throughout this auction. A great selection of spear points and fine flints. We will be adding to this auction. Dennis & Nancy Garrett were the owners of The Garret Antique Shop in Bloomington IN. Dennis was a prolific collector, hunter, and dealer in Native American artifacts, rocks & mineral, fossils, shells & natural specimens for the Bloomington community for over 50 years. Dennis practiced the dealer/collector motto with great passion, "Keep the Best & Sell the Rest" . We are pretty sure he NEVER sold a rock or artifact he felt was special. Dennis Garrett was an avid rock hound and collector, traveling far & wide to buy and known throughout the collecting community. The rock shop was referred to as Garrett's Grotto. Watch for future auctions through 2025 as we continue to unpack this incredible collection.
PREVIEW For this auction is by appointment and on site Thursday, 7/31 from 3-5PM. An auction of Non-Lithic Native American items will end on 7/31 for a sister sale to this one. Preview & checkout is at:
