African knife and spears of unknown origin.

Something we have to keep in mind. We are so familiar with "modern" materials like aluminium and faux leather we forget that at one time these were hot stuff and not cheap. How long will it be before we all walk around with a tablet selling for no more than say £50.

Tim,
You are exactly right! I recall hearing that around the turn of the century aluminum was more valuable than platinum! So you think the spears are from the turn of the century, too?
