Time tested for over 180 years. As America's oldest nail manufacturer, we are in a position to offer the older patterns of cut nails appropriate to the period of restoration being undertaken. In addition to a variety of styles of nails, we can provide information to help the restorer in determining authenticity in the project.

Cut nails possess great durability. They are hard to pull out because the wood fibers are pushed downward and wedge against the nails, thus greatly reducing loosening. Once your customers have used them, they will prefer them for all kinds of work.

Tremont boat nails are widely used for wooden boat construction. Use the Hot-Dip Galvanized nails only for this application. Standard Boat Nails, which are not Hot-Dipped, are often used to face-nail floors.

Useful for framing, roughing, face-nailing floors and paneling and sculpturing. Available Hot-Dip Galvanized for applications requiring rust-resistant nails.

Fine Finish Standard

These slender nails are popular for wood applications where a slim brad-head nail is appropriate, such as furniture repair, cabinet work, casings, batter doors, paneling and counter tops.

Flooring Hardened

Great for laying tongue and groove hardwood and soft wood flooring. Not to be used for face-nailing flooring because head is too small. Nails are available Hot-Dip Galvanized for applications requiring rust-resistant protection.

Fine Cut Headless Brad Standard

This pattern is used in wood applications where a slender nail will minimize splits. Often used for furniture repair, cabinet work and picture framing and casement work.

Sheathing Standard

Useful for attaching sheathing to wood studs and for face-nailing thick board flooring. Similar to Cut Spikes, but these nails have flat heads.

Cut Spike Standard

Used for heavy construction work, these strong spikes drive well through planking and heavy timber for deck and bridge work. They are made on our oldest ''nailer'' (Circa 1865) by heating steel plate to a reddish hue and feeding it by hand into this massive machine. Spikes are cut at a rate of about 40 per minute. Available Standard and Hot-Dip Galvanized.

Slating Standard

Originally used to fasten slate roofing, this nail has a larger head than many cut nails and can be used for applications where a large head is desired.

Clinch - Rosehead Standard

These button-head nails are malleable enough to be clinched if desired. Often used for furniture repair, cabinet work, interior walls, face-nailing wide board flooring, batten doors, paneling and counter tops. Available Hot-Dip Galvanized for applications requiring rust-resistant nails.

Masonry Hardened

These heat-treated cut nails are ideal for nailing furring strips and other materials to cinder block, mortar joints, new concrete and brick walls. Blunt point and tapered shank cause less spalling during nailing and hold tighter than round wire nails. Also used to face-nail hardwood flooring.

Hinge Standard

Ideal for fastening antique hinges and sometimes used for face-nailing doors. Head style is similar to a Boat Nail, but hinge nails are made from a slightly lighter gauge of steel to give more nails per pound.

Brad

These round-headed brads are popular for cabinet work and selected furniture applications

Shingle Standard

These shingle nails have blunt points to reduce wood splits, and the cut nail shank holds tight. Available Standard and Hot-Dip Galvanized.

Clout Standard

Similar in design to Shingle Nails, but made from lighter gauge steel. Useful for box and crate construction, and for the application of thin siding and paneling. Also used for furniture repair, cabinet work, batten doors and counter tops.

Box Standard

These nails are lighter than Common Cut-nails, but are used for similar applications. Designed originally for the construction of wood boxes and crates, they are also used for nailing fences, siding, face-nailing floors, framing and roughing in. Available Standard and Hot-Dip Galvanized.

Foundry Standard

Also called Tie Keys, these nails are used for foundry casting work, concrete form work and metal sculpturing.

Decorative Wrought Head

Designed to simulate the hand-forged nails of the late 1700's, the head is three-sided and the nail has a galvanized coating for exterior applications. Ideal for roughsawn exteriors, decking and doors.

During the late 1700's, the first cut-nail making machines appeared and the first machine to cut and head a nail in one operation was invented by Ezekiel Reed of Bridgewater, Mass. Drawn in pencil and then printed by our own artist Erik Michelson, this is an authentic drawing of one of the century-old nail machines still used in our factory. Available in print alone or matted and framed.
