Description
9″ Gray Ghost: Modern-made art pieces that have been referred to as “gray ghosts” by collectors and even archaeologists for many years. These famous “flint spears” were made by Bryan Reinhardt beginning sometime in the 1940’s and continuing well into the 1970’s. “Gray Ghosts” have caused quite a lot of confusion for more than half a century now. The buying public has had such a hard time identifying them as either old or new artifacts that they have become a modern legend. The first ones were produced in Bryan Reinhardt’s “flint spear” factory sometime in the 1940’s. “Gray ghosts” are large modern-made “flint spears” that were made during the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s. “Gray ghosts” are scary only when the people that purchase or inherit them, believe they have ancient artifacts of great value. But they’re actually nice examples of one man’s modern flintknapping art, and considered highly collectible, as each one is a little different and unique. True “gray ghosts” are credited to Bryan Reinhardt because he made so many more than anyone else.
