I don't recall if they said what they were or not John? Long time ago. I have found them when walking the old rails over by Hooper Nebraska. Not very many, hard to spot as they aren't very big.
I have my moments Dave, laziness becomes more common as I age. Either that or I'm just plain tired! Thanks Bro!

They are long gone and out of use on the railroads. Did they know what they were at the auction?
Thanks Jim!
Thanks John! I picked up a can full of the rail tie spikes at an auction, I'm to lazy to walk the tracks for them :-)
Oh! Rail tie spikes. I have a small collection of those. Cool.
Yup. That one might be very hard to let go. I like the Pillsbury yardstick and that is a great head stock.
That's a beauty. Real nice headstock!
