My inheritence

[pointshunter]

When my grandfather died he had a pretty nice collection. My Aunts fought over most of it so they could sell and make more money. My grandmother being the sweet woman she is saved me 2 cigar boxes full and one small frame knowing her stepdaughters had no idea about them . And also knowing that they never once hunted with grandpa and the only value to them was cash. I've had these put away for some time here are the contents of one box.

That's what I call a good start. Thanks Grandpa!! Kudo's to Grandma for saving those for you. To bad they weren't all given to you they would have at least stayed in the family................GTP

Do u have any idea what the funky shaped one in the middle of first row in drill pic is?

 

[GatorBoy]

Mabey a Ross. I'm not real up on Ohio types though.

If you meant this one. It could be a funky Afton also.

It is refreshing to see pieces from an old time collection. I know these mean a lot to you! If you are asking about the greyish one, I would think it is an Early Archaic Corner notch that has been maybe damaged and/or highly resharpened. And that is a very nice Drill.

By the looks of this point, it shows slight beveling on one side and with what is left of the base, I would have to say that is a broken up Lost Lake.

#4 and #6 are nice, the drill and the square knife.

I'm sure your Grandfather would like knowing you appreciate them more than just what dollar they might bring, that's a special collection. If you get to frame them, include his picture!
