Our steel trunk nails have been produced on machinery in constant use since the Civil War!  If you are looking for authenticity you have found it.  From the beginning of steamer trunk production, these nails were used to secure all the hardware that protects and makes the trunk functional.  Historically these nails were driven through the wood against an iron causing the tip to curl under inside the wood.  This method of attachment made the nails nearly impossible to remove.  If you have large projects or resell these nails we offer a 10# bag, TKN-1SQ, at a greatly reduced price.  Also available with brass plating, TKN-1.
