[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 238818, member: 85"]My dad used to call these fasteners jews nails. Was trying to find history of when they might have started to be used. Not having any luck [I]- [/I]probably because of the term. They may be called corrugated fasteners now. What I did find is that they were used on soft wood, as they tended to split the wood if you didn't know how to use them correctly. I'm thinking the round stool is probably about the same age as the other. [I] [/I][/QUOTE]
