Bigdob, I'm not familiar with the types in your area, but just wanted to say that those sure are sweet! I hope someone can let you know what they are (kind of curious myself!)

Bigdob tell us a little more about these points. Did you find them? If so, where? They are in beautiful condition.

Where were they found?
Did you find them or buy them?

They look similar to Fox Valley Points but I have never seen any like that.

If they are from Illinois both look to be Fox Valley Truncated Barb and very nice ones too.
Yeah, some background or history please.

These were in my Fathers collection found back in the 60s/70s
Could be Illinois , KY, or Tenn.
Just trying to identify them as they are kinda different.
I went with when I was younger in IL and have a nice frame full of stuff we found.
Thanks

The left one is for sure Fox Valley. The right one is probably a Fox Valley too. Only found in a small area of Central to Northern Illinois and Western Indiana.

I finished going through the box of stuff and there are 10 of these little beauties all together, I'm reasonably sure they came from IL as did most of our pieces.
Try and get a pic later
