  • Abo Glass Ishi Point, Glass Arrowhead

    $25.00

    This glass point is a copy of the type used by Ishi, famously known as the last wild Indian of North America.  This little arrow point is made from a thin piece of window glass, and is identical to the ones Ishi made when he was living in the wilderness of Northern California.  He’d tip his arrows with these points and use them for hunting deer and other game in the wilds along Deer and Mill Creeks.  There are a few surviving examples of Ishi’s original hunting arrows and they were tipped with glass points identical to the one seen here.  Free shipping on this order to all destinations within the U.S.

  • Green Glass Wintu Point (SOLD)

    This pretty Wintu point is made of light yellowish green glass from a Newman’s Own olive oil bottle.  This point copies some authentic Wintu points I’ve seen that were made from scavenged glass the Indians collected from old ranch dumps.  This point is sleek and elegant, with very sharp, finely serrated edges that could very easily take down a deer. It also has the delicate, upturned notches that were a common trait of the Wintu points from northern California.

  • Ishi Point (NEW!)

    $30.00

    This finely made glass arrow point copies the type of arrowheads that Ishi, “the last wild Indian of North America”, made and tipped his arrows with when he was still living in the wilds of northern California.  Ishi made arrowheads from discarded glass bottles he found at old ranch dumps, and he’d also use pieces of window glass for his points.  This point is made of window glass, and copies those that tipped his hunting arrows.  His hunting points differ from the larger, Wintu style points he made after coming out of the wilderness.  Scroll through the photos and you’ll also see a photo of Steve Allely with a deer he killed using replica Ishi archery gear.  Rest assured these points work.  This is a great gift for yourself or someone who loves the wild west, history, or Native American culture.  Free shipping to all US customers.
