[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 274407, member: 1136"]I went through about 50% of the 13 boxes of arrow heads we have and the paper work.. The letters are from a man named Floyd Fry and one from Bob Buzzard. Turns out this guy made this man arrow heads.. A man would order the kind he wanted, the maker would make them, send the buyer a mold of it till he was satisfied with the final project, then send him the actual point. These letters were dated 83' and 84' as well as most of the modern points. The recent (vs artifact) ones were all marked, "Made by 'X' in 1984 for MAB" (the man's initials) There are a few boxes full of one's that I believe are real. They'll have a ref number on the bag, a description, "fd by so&so on his great grandfathers farm in "this location" on "this date" Some just give a location, date, and site 7 Some bags give type, location, weight, price or a variation Some of the metal ID tags state what type of point they are, if they are modern made, who the maker was, when it was made, and who the owner was. I took some more photos. I hope the writing on the bags are clear The bottom bags correlate with the top points [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/95/49/56/954956fc3da207e546cd5cf90ee25ffa.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ed/cb/bc/edcbbc840b75d8fd6fdcb5f0a81cfa1f.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2f/71/4d/2f714daa9d0a723c40c003702ffae59d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2f/58/9d/2f589daca94b4952892471ddf2793706.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8b/1f/ab/8b1fab577137933f2f09aef8c7b02572.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a4/69/0a/a4690add9f5b8707fd79704e846a5e59.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/03/9a/98/039a98b100b5413ae263a9bd7687a2d7.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
