- Description: BEAUTIFUL Fort Payne Chert Kentucky Cumberland - Here is a Fantastic Cumberland that is made of a Beautiful Mottled Fort Payne Chert in shades of Brown, White, & Cream. It is fluted to the tip on one side and 2/3rds of the length on the other side. (see photos) It has a slight ancient ding to one ear ....... there is NO other damage to this Beautiful Cumberland. This piece has never been offered for sale by a dealer before. It was found by Cecil Phelps in 1970 while plowing a tobacco patch on Buck Creek in Pulaski County, Kentucky. Mr. Phelps was an uncle to collector Phil Mize, whom some of you may know. In 1974 he showed it to Phil who advised him to wrap it in a rag to protect it since he kept it in an old gift box with some other points. It was acquired by Tony Simpson from Mr. Phelps who was also his wife's uncle. This FINE Cumberland was pictured in Prehistoric America Number 3 in 1996 on page 31. Don't miss the opportunity to own one of the prettiest examples of this RARE type of Paleo lanceolate. Comes with
