Flea market find

[Muddy Feet]

I found these at a flea market. There are about 52 arrowheads along with a few broken pieces in a cigar box. The guy selling said they came from an estate sale and he didn't know anything about arrowheads, how about five bucks for the whole box. I couldn't turn it down. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell from the pics if they are authentic or not? I put some of them in a frame and hung them in my sons room. He loves them real or fake and for five bucks, it doesn't matter. Let me know what you think.

the points in the last pic look good,all the others look like rechips at best

Quite a few look like the stuff they sell at tourist sites, but a couple look like Bolens

I agree. Most of those look like the type that they sell at gift shops in museums.

The first six pictures appear to be repros.

$5 well spent.

Thats about what I figured but still worth five bucks. Thanks for the input.

I'll tell you a quick and easy way to make your money back and more. Take all of the repros and make necklaces out of them. You can get some gold filled wire at WalMart or Hoby Lobby to wrap the points and some cheap leather pieces for the strap and get $8 to $10 apiece out of them.

Besides the brokes, I'd guess the rest are repro's and poor ones at that.

Not a bad idea. I'll let the boy keep the ones he has framed, at least until we get better ones, and see what I can do with the rest. Thanks Dorkfish.

The last set of pics look like field finds and look real with the patina .All the others seemed to have been made by a recent want to be flint knapper. They all look to be a variant on the same type and that would mean a cache .Doubtful. Most likely a wanna be flint knapper. I am scared of flea maket finds.Its to much like ebay. Unless I find them they do not go im my collection that way its is always a pure collection. Just my humble opinion.
As longs as the boys like it that is all that matters.
