BOLTS AND NUTS

Makers of Bolts & other Items.
I've given these men their own index even though they were usually edgetool makers as well.
They make & sell items such bolts, nails, hooks, hinges and many other articles to numerous to mention.
Anyone who had a small forge could make these items.
Eventually machines took over and we now buy them at our local shops.
