Some bird points and atlatl points

[Mark Todd]

After seeing so many framed artifacts posted here I decided it's time to break 30 years of tradition , dumping artifacts out on the table for people to see. I bought some red felt but haven't made the frames yet, just trying to decide how to arrange some of them right now.
These were all surface finds I made in central Illinois except a couple marked "RB" which were given to me. Thought they looked pretty good this way.

They do look good that way...looks like the beginnings of a new tradition in framing. I've got to do the same thing but don't have near as many points as you. You have a wonderful collection!

Thanks everyone! I should have mentioned how unlikely it was to find one of those bird points. I don't recall anymore which one it was just that it was a nice one and whole. Me and a buddy of mine were fishing on a power plant cooling lake, I was walking the shoreline and there it was shouting at me to put it in my pocket. It was amazing because whole place had been strip mined and when the cooling lake was put in the whole place was cleared of growth with bulldozers, imagine the odds!
Also I've always been curious about the broken bird point one up from the very bottom in the middle, it looks like a turkey tail . If anyone looking has one/some like that I'd love to see pictures, thanks.
