Hardaway Palmer?

[Totsuwa]

I found this point in Avery County North Carolina not far from the Tennessee state line. I have been told it's some sort of "Hardaway" reworked but I have researched and think it's a "Hardaway Palmer" like the one in the new Overstreet ID and Price Guide but with a little shorter auricles.

Welcome to the site Totsua! That's a killer piece!

I think you have made an intelligent assessment with your type.

It does not look Hardaway to me, but I am not an expert on Hardaway nor western NC typology. Hardaway usually has more flare outwards in the basal ears. Either way, it's a really cool little point! Thanks for showing....

Here is a Hardaway Palmer from the southern piedmont of NC that my coworker found last year. Very nice quartz point you have.

That's a nice find and welcome to Tnet. It looks like a couple of styles in one point ,part Hardaway and part Big Sandy. The bottom of the base is made like a Hardaway, but the notching and blade area looks like a Big Sandy.
