    The last one looks really awesome, but i've never seen anything like it before. Not my place to say it's not authentic. Good Luck

    Re: Lets try again

    The first piece is worrisome.

    The last piece that says "Deleware Co. Oklahoma" is referring to a Tussinger eccentric. The famous "Tussinger mounds" was a hoax perpetuated by Mack Tussinger in the early 20's. He took authentic pieces of large blades and rechipped them into exotic forms and deposited them into a mound in his back yard to be "discovered".

    If that piece is a real Mack Tussinger piece then it does hold value. However, there are a ton of Tussinger fakes out there on the market. Yup, reproductions of fakes....and a ton of them.

    Matt beat me to it on the last piece. It has the look of a Tussinger piece, but most of his were much more exotic and more finely made so it probably is a reproduction of a fake.

    Also, the 3rd point probably isn't an Adena Point. It's to rough and is more than likely an Archaic Stemmed Point.
