Square
Shank Trunk Nails: Also known as cut nails or clinch nails.
We sell four sizes of brass-plated steel trunk nails and three sizes of
plain steel cut nails,
all made one at a time on
an old-fashioned cut nail press. The heads on all of these are just
a hair larger than 1/4 of an inch (9/32").
These are easy to work with
as the steel is soft enough to bend easily when using your nailing heel.
Priced according to the
descriptions below, all prices include shipping for destinations in the
USA.
Four sizes of brass-plated
steel nails: 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1.5"
Three sizes of steel nails:
3/4", 1" and 1.5"
All sold in packs of 20

Escutcheon Pins Brass escutcheon pins are
not just difficult to pronounce, they're handy for attaching small parts
to trunks or anything else made of wood.
We sell these in packs of
20, three different sizes, for $2 per pack. The only good news is
that this includes shipping to any USA location, so two bucks is the end
of the story.
These pins are 1/2" long,
3/4" long, or 1" long with a 1/8" diameter head.

Threaded Trunk Nails Threaded nails have incredible
holding power and are handy if you're nailing on new hardwood slats or
anything that goes on the bottom of a trunk (slats, wheels, feet, etc).
These nails tend to stay
right where you put them. Our threaded nails are 1-1/8" long with
a flat head. These are not supposed to be clinched - just for straight
nailing.

and the nail is about an inch long. The head sticks up about 1/8".
Nail them right through
the lid, then bend them over from the inside or curl the end back into

only. Prices include USA postage.
