Description: | Copper alloy and IronPossible screw. An iron shank sheathed in copper alloy, with three turns of a finely inscribed screw thread on its outer surface. Corroded iron projects from one end; the other appears to have been cut with heavy shears. The mass may suggest further iron within the object, which is perhaps treated to retard corrosion while retaining strength. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800.Length: 29.8mm, Diameter (mid shaft): 6.1mm, Weight: 7.26gms.
