: I recently receive two nails from the ill-fated antartic expedition of Robert Scott. The appear to be from the ponies he attempt to use to reach the pole.
: Would you know of a book that would contain photo of antique horseshoe nails. Scotts expedition was 1911-12. I realize this is an odd request.
: Thanks for any help.
There were several horse shoe nail companies in operation in 1911 - 12. If you can see any logo or monogram stamped on the
nail head, please sketch it on a piece of paper and fax it to 714-779-1582, to the attention of Ed Kinney. There is a good
chance the we can identify the manufacturer for you.
