[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 422517, member: 1916"] :o I think that sort of thing was fashionable in the 60s and more recently with the invention of viagra. Also was my most common conclusion, while filling in time waiting for the next target. Figured they were used in rocker boxes or dryblower construction to hold down fine timber trimmings for hessian or even for the boxes themselves to stop them rattling apart. The small size always perplexed me thouhg and the drawings of the period showed rough construction techniques, so concluded I was probably wrong and they were bought to the goldfields in something that was pre-manufactured. Although, if had some at hand, and ran out of cheap square nails I could bend the tail over on or screws, I think I would give them a go. [/QUOTE]
