Brandy, you can use the link below and probably ID most of what you have there. I have a feeling they aren't all from your area in Massachusetts though. The Stemmed Point beside the coin in picture #3 looks like a Gary Point which is a Texas/Missouri/Arkansas/Oklahoma area type. The ones with a rounded base look to be Nodenas and are more of a midwestern type. The triangle types could be Levannas which are from your area. Also, from what I can see from your pictures everything looks good to me as far as being an old authentic piece. The only one I might question is the center piece in frame #2. Something about that Point just doesn't look right.

for modern-knapped arrowheads you can try http://www.flintknappers.com/
they have some really nice points... but they may not always be quite true to type... ie. the type might be an Adena but made out of an exotic stone... not the same type of stone as an historical point.

for exact cast replicas of archaic points you can visit http://lithiccastinglab.com

but i don't know offhand where to purchase certified archaic points.
Hope this helps
