U+00FE LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN looks Anglo-Saxon. The bowl should be round, for consistency with the capital form and because Icelandic is more popular than Anglo-Saxon nowadays. This goes for its derivatives U+A765 and U+A767 too.

David,
By the late 1800s, the thorn seems to have taken on its present form. Attached is the beginning of an 1885 publication that I have of a Chaucer manuscript that is in the British Museum, printed for the Chaucer Society. Thanks for bringing attention to that glyph.
If I am the one who drew the thorn, I was probably going from a reproduction of an old Beowulf manuscript.
