flickrBingo3 Week42 I19 Nail

115in2015 87 Metal

 

I watched this nail being hand forged by the Blacksmith at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site about 30 years ago. It was a cold, wet, miserable day and I was the only one watching him work his magic. When he was finished with it he gave it to me. I don't think he was suppose to give it away but he did give it with a nod, a wink, and a sly smile. It was our little secret until now.
