Some of you may remember the Great Wrought Iron Rescue of 2017, where I salvaged a hundred or so short pieces of wrought iron bar from repairs to the roof of a 1916 building at the college where I work. It just occurred to me to see if the screws and nuts I removed therefrom were also WI.

After doing the cut-and-bend test, I’m pretty sure the screws aren’t, but I’m not sure about the nuts. What do you folks think?

For contrast, here’s a cut-and-bend on one of those WI bars:

And for interest’s sake, this is what happens when you do a cut-and-bend on a piece of burned WI:

It's a little difficult to tell, JHCC, in total honesty, but I do not believe it is. If it is, it is an extremely high grade of it, well made. But I do not believe those nuts are wrought iron.

I could have given you some wrought iron when you were at my house the other day.

Didn't realize you were so afflicted.

If you are ever out this way again...

Next time! Thanks in advance!
