Date Nails

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been facinated by date nails. I’ve got many different types, spanning many, many years. I’ve collected them for years, but don’t really know much about them.

Anybody know where I can find some of the history and information?

Jeff Oaks (the owner of one of the web sites above mentioned) has 3 books that tell you everything you ever wanted or needed to know about date nails. There are a few other ID books out there, but these are very comprehensive.

Here’s another one. You should consider looking into the Texas Date Nail Collector’s Association also.
