Ohio Dovetails

[newnan man]

The smaller Dovetail was found in Coshocton County and is made of Flint Ridge. Found by the farm owners son
The larger one is 4 inches and was found by Martin Bauer on his farm in Scioto County. He had a large collection that was sold when he passed. I was able to purchase some items from his grandson. I'm not sure what the material is.
Both have damage and are good candidates for restoration but I probably won't.

I wouldn't restore them either

I think the second one is Upper Mercer but a more in focus photo would be a big help. UM can range from white to black with grays, tans and blues mixed in.
P.S. I wouldn't have them restored either, though if you're adept at digital photo manipulation, you could restore the photo to have a view of what it looked like undamaged.
