Yoghurt on a Stick 2,351 Report post Posted Sunday at 05:15 PM I feel like I'm shooting up the town, with the number of upvotes I've been firing away with in the last few days. I can see clearly that the bar has been raised. That said, I admit defeat, as I intend to walk under the bar. It's the path of least resistance, after all. Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday. Myself and my wife were given what looked like a Red Indian axe, from a friend (recently deceased), who was an antiques dealer. So, I have tried to ascertain if it is such an axe, what date it would be, it's value etc etc. To this end I Googled axes etc and the UK.I somehow got in touch with the UK's leading axe thrower. I sent him photos, but he didn't know. However, he sent it to a circle of axe enthusiasts, and they have come back with the suggestion that it may be a Celt axe. Then I got in touch with a University in America that specialized in Red Indian anthropology. Their response was obviously that I was such a buffoon, a monumentally mere trifle, that I shouldn't even be given the courtesy of being answered to. lol It goes on - about 2 months ago I sent photos of it to Christie's in New York. Why I didn't choose Christie's in London was because of self inflicted neurological damage. Anyway, I've not heard from them either. I heavily suspect that they are too busy laughing! They fucking hate me, the Americans. Bastards! lol By the way - my personal view is that the axe is actually an old souvenir. To me, it doesn't look like something to actually be used, other than for the adornment of some wall, or other. Actually, I've just had a though. Christie's in London is still open to me for 'exploitation'! I think that I might write to their Antiquities Department saying something along the lines of ' Don't ask me where I got it pal, I just know that it must be of value, and I want you to tell me what that value is'? I will, of course, include this with the letter to them; PS - They can blow it up themselves to see it's true glory. I need all the breath I can get at the moment. In anycase, it'll save on postage. PPS - I can feel an ebay purchase coming on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've ran out of up votes. I think that I may have run out of brain cells too! That's such an excellent photo, that I'm going to make a copy and file it. Then I'll robably do something dastardly under copyright laws with it. I mean, I'm happy to pay about a fiver to reproduce it, but haven't got a clue who that fiver would have to go to.
