KevFl. :; Thanks for the reply , But don't think it's got anything to do with darts , Cause it looks to old & it weights over 3 1/4 oz's ,

I agree looks like an old tip of a dart.

Just a guess. Is there a hole in the back part, opposite the point? Maybe it's one of those things they put on a string to determine vertical lines during barn building and other carpentry projects back in the old days before chalk lines and such? Kinda like a pendulum. It's way too big t be a dart tip at 2 & 1/2 inches long unless you are darting Rhinos, or something.

David-

Not that this is definitive, but found this picture of some old darts.

True_Metal - There is no hole in the back of it , I first thought that it looked like a plum-bob also but can't see a way that it could have been used for that ,

i know this isn't what it is but it looks like an old 3 ringer bullet that someone forgot to carve the top off

It's a dart tip. :P

What you have there is called a "Flickerpicker" or more commonly known as a replacement beak for a woodpecker. Not many people know this but a standard beak is only good for 2, maybe 3 years, but with the add on "flickerpicker" the life of every Woody Woodpecker can be extended for decades, even centuries. Ahhhh science. Chris

It's a dart tip,old and heavy it may be,nonetheless it's still a dart tip.Darts have been around for hundreds of years,they played darts on the mayflower even.The all-metal barrel was patented in 1906.I would say yours pre-dates that.Nice Find!H.H.

david in ga. - if your item had been a little larger it could pass for the helmet of the kaiser of germany in ww1. wayne

 

[treaser hunta]

[omnicognic]

[lonewolfe]

Dart tip!

 

[Jimi D Pirate]

It is a Yard Dart, use to have one as a kid

 

[tank]

called them jarts!! with the flights on the back each dart was about 14 inches long. made from 1956-1978 then the whiney liberals cried them out of exhistance. seach jarts on ebay for an example.

 

[SASQUASH]

Well you all are kind of right if you measure the Dim. you find it is the size of a bullet therefore it was not for darts but for shooting woodpeckers. HAVING MORE FUN THEN PEOPLE SQUASH.
