Large headed, old and beaten up looking uphoulstery nails. Where can I get some from at sensible prices.

Thanks Jerome,

I appreciate your efforts, but it's the old and beaten look that I am trying to find. Not so easy to track down so far!

But thanks all the same.

Christmas best wishes,
Mark.

I,m looking at roofing felt nails. Thead heads are not necessarily as big as I wanted, but they are quite inexpensive and may look the part if coated with some thinned don bitumous paint and rubbed over with a weak mixture of wax and warm grey biege chalky emusion paint. Used with some narrower mouldings this might pass for something a bit antiquey looking.

I'm still looking from something with a larger head, but I haven't found anything, which fits the bill just yet.
