Plains stone axe for ?ing

Tim,

I know very little about these axes, but perhaps a few comments on the condition of it. I'm not seeing any wear or tear to the leather. The edges are straight, with no tears or losses, and no holes or scuffing of the flat surfaces. I would expect to see such damage with a piece that had been used. It may never have been used, of course, but an old piece should still show some wear or minor damage, I think, just from the ravages of time.
