Banke Museum
operates
the last three nail making machines in the
United States producing cut copper clench
nails for boat builders and other hobbyists.
Built
in 1903 for the Atlas Tack Company of
Fairhaven, MA, the machines were acquired upon
the liquidation of the firm in 1975 to ensure
these fastenings would continue to be
available.
