On a trip to Cody, WY while admiring a neat 1800’s carriage we noticed a rusty carriage bolt that was obviously a black iron bolt in its day. Our picture of this rustic carriage bolt inspired one of Old West Iron's most popular specialty fasteners, our decorative hammered head carriage bolt. Using these old world wrought iron carriage bolts you can now achieve the look of the antique carriage fasteners. This antique replica bolt was created to be used with our old world hinges, rustic iron straps, and as a door accessory. This hammered head bolt is an asset to all building new and old giving the look of a wrought iron bolt. Since the trend of reclaimed lumber these decorative carriage bolts have become fashionable. The 1/2" carriage bolt has a 1 1/16" round head.
