We just talked about that last night, how when we were kids we had to scrounge rusty used nails and straighten them all before we started a project.
Fond memories...when we were kids and decided to build something first thing was to empty the coffee can with the bent nails and straighten enough for what we wanted to build.
Thought it was seventh heaven first time seeing a 50lb box of "new" 16 penny nails.
