<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dukewright, post: 224360, member: 4310&quot;]I have a piece I&#039;m working on, and I found two types of nails used. At first I thought it was a repair that used a more modern nail.&nbsp; However, the head on the wire nail is chisel shaped.</p><p><br /></p><p>...So I begin to wonder if the two types of nails were both used during construction.&nbsp; I have read that small wire nails were first used at the beginning of the 19th century and cut nails are still used today. My question is:&nbsp; does anyone recognize the weird modern (wire) nail with a chiseled/ pointy mushroom head?&nbsp; Given it&#039;s weird shape, I thought it might be one of those very early wire nails. </p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]66737[/ATTACH] </p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]66738[/ATTACH]</p><p>~</p><p>Here is cut nails same piece. </p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]66739[/ATTACH] </p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]66739[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
