    Default Old screws, nails and fixings

    I bought a house that has about 50 jars of old (1950s) nails, screws and other fixings. They are stored in jars. I thought these might be of interest to people fixing or reproducing old woodwork. If nobody is interested then I'll give them away on gumtree. It feels a bit sad to put them in the bin.

    Are there any cut nails in one of those jars?

    Hi Oliver ...

    I'd be interested in any Countersunk, slotted steel wood screws (bit of rust won't hurt).
    Even slotted CS brass screws would be good.
    I use these for furniture restoration.
    Let me know what you have and how much you want.

    The nails have round heads. Does that answer your question?

    There are a variety of countersunk slotted steel screws. They are mostly still rust free, since they have been in jars. I don't particularly want anything for these things - I just want them to go to a good home.

    I'd be happy to take them (or some of them) off your hands.
    Also happy to pay postage to the ACT.

    Give me a price and I'll send you a PM with my details.

    Altogether (jars, etc) we're probably talking 40+ kg, so this is a pick-up only offer. I live in Burwood, NSW.
