For special nails try the: Tremont Nail Co. P.O. Box 111 Wareham, MA 02571 (508)295-0038 They specialize in "old fashioned nails" for authentic restoration and antique effect. The company has been around since 1819. They have a lot of different kinds of nails including a sample set that's about $10 which shows the history of cut nails in America. The set comes displayed on a piece of heavy cardboard with text about the nails. As an archaeologist I have found this set very useful for identifing historic nails.
