This extremely sharp and well-developed scepter is from the famous 1985 find at Hopkinton, near the coast in Rhode Island. This find was instantly one of those classics where specimens became treasured like gold among East Coast collectors, and few were seen to trickle out. Today, they are very hard to come by. I have seen many miniatures, a few larger still, but this is a superb, well-balanced thumbnail specimen. From the specialized Maine thumbnail collection of Jim Mann. (although technically a miniature, this squeezes into a TN box when mounted diagonally) .
