Condition Pre-owned old hardware in as-found condition. Expect rust, oxidation, surface wear, bends, and irregularities. Please review photos carefully. The exact 5 nails shown are the nails you will receive.
Description Lot of 5 old approximately 4-inch square-shank iron nails / spikes, sold exactly as pictured.
This group shows variation in head shape, shank profile, point, and overall construction. Some examples have the flatter, more regular rectangular profile associated with machine-cut nails/spikes, while others are more irregular and appear consistent with hand-forged or hand-finished construction.
Several examples from the larger group also show raised circular tooling marks on the heads.
Because manufacturing methods vary and the individual pieces have not been independently dated, no specific age or manufacturing method is guaranteed for each nail.
Features:
* Approximately 4” long * Square / rectangular iron shanks * Varied irregular heads * Natural rust and aged patina * Some bent or curved examples * Mix consistent with cut and possibly hand-forged or hand-finished construction * Sold as found, not cleaned or restored
