The fourth is from Missouri also do not know type. The fifth is from Indianna Beleive to be Red Ocre blade. The final one I would like to see if I can get info from someone about It is from Deleware County Oklahoma and has the Payne Coll written on it Does anyone know anything about this collection Odd looking point I do not believe it is authentic Purchased in a large collection thought it was interesting

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.
