could these be real

[ole_grisley]

I found these at the flea mkt and got them for about $12.00. They just happened to catch my eye. I beleive one is a tomahawk about 5 3/4 inches long, a large pounding stone51/2 long andabout 31/2 each side,
a what I beleive is a rubbing stone5 1/2 long and 1 1/2 and 2 inch on the sides,
and what I was told was a paint stone for mixing the colors.
Am I right on what I think these pieces are?

sorry for the small pics but have to get a new photo prog and changed pc's here and not all set up yet,
the tomahawk has a rusty red color spot on it,and the one I think is a paint bowl has about 3
diff colors in it red blue and? the pounding stone has an indent in the end from pounding. the last piece looks to have napping done on it but never finished.

It's pretty hard to tell much because the picture is so small, but it looks like you might have a mix of things there. Some ancient artifacts, a historic artifact, some geofacts, and maybe a replica.

The first stone could very well be a hammerstone/grinding stone. The second one looks a little too square to be an ancient grinding stone, but it looks man made, maybe it's a historic piece? On the bottom row the axe head looks to have some relatively fresh chipping (different color than the body), it might be a replica. Probably not one made to deceive anyone, we made 'Indian tomahawks' like those on boyscout camping trips as a kid and then left them in the woods (not a great idea in retrospect, but we were 9 year old kids.) The paint pot is probably just a natural that had a soft center that eroded out. I can't see anything on the last piece, but the outline doesn't scream man made.

Post a bigger picture and you might get some better opinions.
