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!)
 

The name is in my head i just cant find it. love them points, them are some nice ones. i want to say serrated fox valley , but that might not be. or kirk.

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

I was thinking Kirk serrated bifurcated if that's the case archaic time period
 

To my uneducated eye they look an awful lot like sharks teeth...:dontknow:
 

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.
 

Please post photos of the frame, we would love to see the rest of them.

I thought the same but made into drills
 

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

Here are all the pieces that were packed away , good find.
Now I have to frame them up.

Here's one of the frames my Father and I found over the years.
The big blade in the center is 5.75"

Great frame of those unusual points! I've never seen anything quite like them.
 

Well with that many the same design I dont think they are drills. Might be African points.
 

I was hoping they were good points from the Midwest.
Can't imagin where he may have got them that long ago
