    This is one of the oldest nail companies in the world, having been
established in 1819. The main mill building has been in operation since
1848. 
Open Tuesday - Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday noon-5pm; closed holidays. 
     Many styles of nails - my 1997 sample card and catalog has twenty
different styles each of which is generally available in a range of
sizes. The 1997 catalog has a whole lot more than is available
on the website. I haven't requested a more recent catalog myself.

The Rose head nails, brads, etc. are not too bad for
Medieval projects, assuming you don't want to forge your own.
Probably about as good as you're likely to find - non hand made.
