Recently had a conversation with a well-known African collector about catapults/sling shots and their age. It is his feeling that the ones he saw were powered by inner tubes and could be no older than that.
I'd like to believe otherwise, however slings and slingshots of real antiquity were not made on a "Y" shaped piece of wood.
I like the piece that Lew has presented here and would like to know more about them. Hoping that some of our more knowledgeable (than me) friends here will chime in with their opinions and knowledge.
