Is there anyway to tell how old these heads are?
They are 2.5"X1" pat.no.2182320

Ron,Thanks for identifying them for me.
Wow! I didn't think they were that old.I think I'm going to have to sharpen up a couple and try to put one through a turkey this spring.

Here's a pic of what the arrows that the heads are on look like . I think they're old timers too. I have 8 of the broadheads and arrows. My brother in law got them for me a few years ago. He saw someone putting them out for garbage pick up and stopped and asked if he could have them.

Classic Ben Pearson arrows. Broad cresting stripes, black or white pin stripes, barred turkey feathers  Simple and elegant.

They appear to be in great shape.

Great,thanks for that info,that's too cool. I'm going hang one over my bow rack now. A few of the arrows are in like new shape.The feathers on some are a little worn or ripped.

Sometimes the nocks can become brittle, be careful.

Ron,The arrows are too light for the bows I shoot,so I won't be shooting them,but thank you for the warning.
I'd really like to find a Goshawk broadhead to use on one of my turkey hunting arrows,but if I can't,taking one with one of these Pearson heads would be pretty neat as well.
