I have about a hundred of these nails, many of which I got when I bought fifty ties from the railroad. It was on a line (still being used) where they were replacing ties with new ones while the line was still in service. That in itself was a fascinating process. I made the deal to pick them up off the right of way for 50 cents each. Yes, it was a while back! I looked at every one I could and removed date nails as we went.
