(Bailey). Possibly he was an arrow-header also, a clumsy term for an important occupation, and sure to have a shorter equivalent.
For Tipper, q.v.
(English) One who furnished articles, particularly arrows, with metal tips.
To ' tip ' is an old word applied to the mounting of drinking-horns, cups, &c., with metals. Bailey. A tipper was therefore an artizan so employed. Its forms in the Hundred Rolls are Tippere and Le Tipper. The peculiar, but excellent, ale, called tipper, derives its name from its first brewer, Mr. Thomas Tipper, of Newhaven, co. Sussex, who flourished less than a century since. The peculiarity of this beverage arises from its being brewed from brackish water, which is obtainable from one well only; and all attempts to imitate the flavour have hitherto failed.
From the Dutch, Tepe; from the German, Tepfer; a personal name.
