Found this today really deep faint 90ish on atp. Could this be for making arrowheads? My first thought was it looks pretty old. I think it’s copper doesn’t appear to be brass.

Why would you think it was for making arrowheads?

Trade points/kettle points. The conical ones are made out of triangular sheets of copper or brass.

They used alot of copper & lead in old roof flashing. Could be a piece of flashing. That piece could have been a trade item if it would have been desired or needed.
