Frame of points given to me by my Mom

[BJS in Iowa]

These points were in a cigar box and are points found by my grand parents and great grand parents. Luckly, none of the complete ones got broken. Some really fine ones in here. I put everything that was in the box in this frame so it's a little busy. Sorry, the pictures aren't the best quality.

Nice,
Points are really quite durable considering they are often dug with pick and shovel before being tossed about on a screen. I broke less than 5 out of some 300 arrowheads. However it still hurts when it happens!

Very nice.
If your grandparents are still living, I would ask about the stories behind these.I'm sure there are some good stories, and you might find some new places to hunt.

They've been gone for years and years. They were farmers so most likely found in the fields in SE Iowa.

Yes, that sedalia is really sweet. Not a blemish on it either.

You sure it is Sedalia? It looks like a Eden. If you give a straight forward shot of it and a shot of the base it might show it. Just a thought kind of hard to tell from the angle it is on. Nice frame.............................GTP

That is very possibly, and likely a Sedalia, but there's something about it that makes it look a bit older to me. Is it possible to get a close-up shot of just that point. Also, is there any basal grinding?

Here are some better pictures of the point. I called it a sedalia because that's what I think it most closely resembles, but I could easily be wrong. I find it difficult to clearly type most any point. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There doesn't seem to be any grinding on the base to me.

Thanks for the picks. I think you're right, that it's a Sedalia. That's what it looks like in the first picture, and even more so to me in the 2nd picture. Cool find. almost 3 years of living in St Louis and that's a type I never did find.
