These selections have been picked solely on my own personal
experience - no ad fees, etc. here - these are the places I go to find what I need when
I'm working on rebuilding a McClellan or similar saddle.

Cut Nails - apparently the only place in
the Western Hemisphere still making cut nails. These are the "square" nails used on
everything before the 1870s. These are an absolute must-have for any kind of
"authentic" reproduction woodwork - from saddletrees to shipping crates. European folks can
find similar products through Glasgow Steel Nail Co Ltd., Lowmoss, Bishopbriggs, Glasgow G64 2HX, UK |
