Found last summer in local park. Any ideas. <img src="/metal/html/confused.gif" border=0 width=15 height=22 alt=":?">
 
If I have found one, I have found a hundred of these. I don't know exactly what they are, but I know they are used to hold a slate roof together on older (slate roofed) homes. Usually found at the perimeter of a house, b/c they fall off of the roof. I have never seen a new one (in the stores) so I assume that they are old. - JH
Anybody else know what they are called? I don't recall seeing one with a name on it here in PA.
 
Don't know about the age of this one, but I've found others (some marked, some blank) around slate-roofed buildings dating back 100 years or so. Nearest modern-day equivalent I can think of is the square-topped "roofing cap" shown on the roofing & siding nails page linked below. Also note that some of the other nails are blunt, like the tip of the Hungerford whatzit
Best of luck,
Buckram
