Biographical Summary of Tony Hardie
|
Tony Hardie: I am a Collector/Dealer not a Pot Hunter!! I have collected Arrowheads, Artifacts, Old Bottles and various other Collectables from BC and the Northwest for many years and have amassed thru purchase, inheritance and acquisition a modest collection that can be viewed on my Website at Westcoast Arrowheads & BC Artifacts. In this collection there is a good variety of Stone Artifacts, Projectile Points, Knives as well as Baskets, Carvings and Perishables from the Coastal Fraser River Basin and Fraser Canyon areas of BC. I also collect Alaska, Columbia River, Great Basin and California Artifacts. The Bottle Collection consists manly of British Columbia Pops, Beers, Gins and black glass bottles from the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley of BC. I also have quite an extensive collection of early pioneer Chinese Pottery and Gold Rush era artifacts and collectables. I also have few Fur trade era Relics including Beads, Northwest tokens, Phoenix buttons and Indian Trade Muskets from the major Fur trade Suppliers including the Northwest Company, Hudson Bay Company and the American Fur Trade Company. I have also dabbled in collecting Old Coins and Paper Currencies, Stamps, Postcards, Collector Cards and many other collectables from the Northwest. I presently seek out and purchase legally obtained Old timer Collections from the 1950's and early 1960's of Indian artifacts and Trade Items. I make sure to document all collections I purchase recording digital images of every item and presenting the owners with a complementary bound and printed copy in recognition of the countless hours that many of them spent collecting these with loved ones as I used to do myself on camping trips and such. I then proceed to sell the items on my website at www.bcartifacts.com to recoup my capital so I may purchase the next collection that possibly might come available. This is a non renewable resource and I am doing what I can to document these fine pioneer collector collections before they are gone. I also try and preserve as many of the finest specimens and unusual items of significance in my personal Collection that I can. I will continue to be a caretaker to this collection until it or individual items find a better home. I make these available for study for a deposit. I have helped many Schools and institutions with obtaining fine well documented authentic artifacts from the past. I base all my transactions on honesty and fairness so that all parties involved come away pleased and feeling satisfied. Some of the Great collections I have been able to document and preserve can be viewed by clicking on the links below. I hope you enjoy my website and feel free to email me your questions and I will do my best to get back to you in a timely manner. Tony/BC Artifacts Ltd. |
