Iron nail, heavily corroded, tied to 2 others [1971.15.1323 .2 & .3]. Three iron nails with an orange-brown tinge resulting from extensive rust damage. Two of the nails appear to be of roughly the same length although tied together off set. The third nail is shorter and fatter and at one end is bent upwards.
