Simple, yet with decorative "bulb" design with hammered grooves

IMO, these could be 1600's, or 1700's, judging from:

- simple "eye" mounting end (as opposed to more complex lapped-over hammer-welded design),

- plain round tip (compared to bean, spear and other more complex end designs),

- eroded "pits" and flaws (characteristic of pre-Bessemer (1865) iron),

Wire brushed and unpainted to reveal the aged texture. Buyer can oil, paint or clear-coat if desired.
