Ben Pearson, 1938 Patent

I just thought this would be interesting. You can look up any patent on Google, so I looked up "Arrowhead" and sorted it by oldest first. The oldest one I saw was by Ben Pearson in 1938. You can click the faint image to see the arrowhead:

If you want to see more, click here but be aware there are other inventions with the word "arrowhead" in them. It shows how fast the designs changed to what we recognize as a modern arrowhead:
