American Antiques

Collectible Americana

The earliest antiques and collectibles records from humans in the Americas reflects the flow of humanity out of Africa and around the world. Research seems to indicate that coastal Asians ice and land hopped up and over the Bering Straits around 30,000 years ago. The taking over of, and leaving behind artifacts, antiques and collectibles all over the Americas was accomplished rapidly as following groups came down through openings in the retreating, northern peoples circled the polar routes.

Each region in the Americas reflects itself in the antiques, artifacts and collectibles left behind, in graves, or accidental findings: polar tusks or soft stone shows tender crafting of human dolls, this is reflected through the Americas with the stone and bone antiques and collectibles available in the Americas. In the high Andes, human and ceremonial doll like samples have been found, and museums from Lima to Mexico City proudly display these “Indian” artifacts. Many of these items are at auction prices, and would fit in any collection.”
