definitely NOT as good as the originals.

The heads and nuts were heat treated and perhaps some of the early ones were slightly forged.

With today's poor quality steel, it will never last as long. I can go right outside and pick up a set of cultivators out of the ground and take them apart with a wrench. You would not believe the amount of pitted rust on a bolt and still be able to come off.

Today's bolts would shear right off, even your own if you don't get the same process they used 80 some odd years ago.
