A nail? A knob? Some kind of pin?

I found this I thought it was a big rust ball on the end but it’s solid. I’ve never found one is this a rose head nail?

Those are what I call a "rivet nail"...

The head looks like a rivet on a nail.

They are usually very old... definitely a keeper.

Cool find I've never found one either and wouldn't know what it was if I did

You know... I am not 100% positive on it... sheesh could even be a hinge pin that has deteriorated.

But... don't throw it out just yet.

I've half way learned my lesson on throwing things away two items mainly. it took 2 for me to learn that so i'm trying not to make it 3.

Sure looks old. I sure as hell wouldn't toss it.
