In the past two weeks the back of the house was torn off to add some new windows ... I have some photos that I've yet to upload. I was amazed at the layers that had been added and the changes made over the years! And then, out came the beautiful, rusty, hand-forged nails! As I was scooping themup, the builder said I should have been here when he redid the bathroom over the winter!
Well, after going over the ground with an industrial-strength magnet, I've got a bag full of these nails, a hinge and one wonderful spoon, corroded with patina!
@allie912 My art friends and I are so excited to have these! I see winter projects ahead when I'm back in CA|! The house was built in 1888, so that pretty well date stamps them, I suppose...
What you`ve lost in a house you will find in that house. ( a Dutch saying)
Those nails are great but take care of the spoon. The green color says there is copper in it . And copper corrosion is poisonous.
