SReynolds Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 How much did hand forged nails sell for? I was asked that question while at the forge at the historical society................ I informed the lady that I had read much about nail making, but never had seen a price. I also stated, that it would depend upon the size of the nail, if it was made from new iron stock or used and that it would most likley be a barter for soemthiong else in return. Not to mention the time frame and the location of the smith selling/making the nails. I take it she meant the 1700 to late 1800's and in Ohio (?????) How much did nails sell for?????
