I am doing some cleaning of my relic cases, moving them around and working on my lighting.

Here are a few Decatur points I found

These following I obtained from the estate of Richard Lewman, Richard was a lifelong bachelor, living to the age of 98. He lived on his family's farm in Clark County Indiana and had a fine collection.

BONUS - I found this pestle beside an old tree by the road to his farm

Very nice, the main thing I miss from Midwest (Missouri) are all the artifacts to find.
 

I love those Decaturs for obvious reasons. Wish I could find one around here.
 

That last one is an amazing example of the quality of workmanship of the type. Unfortunately they didn't survive the use and later the plow as well as some of the more robust points.
