A traditional, ’finishing screw’, manufactured by Guest Keen Nettlefolds (G.K.N) of Birmingham and therefore old stock, this particular batch of antique wood screws, is well suited to conservation or restoration project whereby an older vintage finish is required.
These wood screws are no longer manufactured in Birmingham (UK) and are often described by joiners, cabinets makers and restorers alike as being superior in quality & finish.
Unlike newly manufactured ‘Factory Bright’ slotted wood screws, these are old stock wood screws, displaying signs of age and patina.
They are rich and somewhat full toned in appearance, which is typically (but not exclusively), due to one of the following variations: age, origin & grade of brass, storage conditions & environmental surroundings, oxidisation over time & difference in manufacturing techniques.
