Horton Brasses is selling off its stock of Tremont cut nails at a significant discount – 50 percent to 70 percent off depending on the type of nail.
You can start shopping here or read on.
Basically, Horton has slashed prices so most of its stock of cut nails are $6 a pound, with the exception of the expensive cut headless brads, which are $6 for 1/4 lb. (still a good price).
Among the highlights (for me):
- 8d (2-1/2”) rosehead clench nails, great for assembling casework.
- 2d, 4d and 6d fine finish nails, great for assembling casework when you don’t want the head as prominent.
- The cut headless brads mentioned earlier, great for tacking on moulding.
Stock up if your credit card can take it. These prices are rare to encounter for new cut nails.

Thanks for the heads up Chris
I am now even further stocked up on nails for years to come! I had to order knobs for my new kitchen anyways, even though I didn’t need to order them for another month or so…
It’s also worth mentioning that Londonderry Brasses is closing its doors soon, as the owner (Nancy) has passed away. So her children are closing out many of their items at present.
Yikes!
Thanks for the heads up. I saved 60% compared to prices from Canadian suppliers, even with the atrocious exchange rate.
The Schwarz Curse has happened again… at 10AM, they are already out of half the nails that I tried to order! Still, I’m happy for the ones I was able to get. Thanks Chris
Hi there…Wanted to give an immediate update on this. As of 10:30 AM or so all nails are off our site. We will be sorting and filling everything possible and update shortly.
We started the day with 400# or more pounds of nails. I thought that was a lot. Plenty even. I was incorrect. Dramatically incorrect. The vast majority were sold through by 9:00 AM. We could not update the site fast enough.
Refunds and partial refunds will be forthcoming as soon as we figure out what we have.
That was fast. As Jbakerrower said, the Schwarz Curse strikes again. I got my order in six minutes after this was posted. We’ll see if I was one of the lucky ones or will get a refund. Congrats, I guess, to Horton Brasses! You’re 400# pounds of iron lighter now.
I suspect many were like me, these were a “one of these days” purchase, and when a sale came along, it became a “grab a deal while I can” purchase. Looking forward to my first clenching.
So just to further update everyone:
1. Anyone who is receiving a partial order will have the shipping waived.
2. Balances will be refunded today (for those that used PayPal) or tomorrow (for those that used a card).
3. The delay on the card refunds is only because we can’t process a refund until the transactions have cleared.
4. Some orders have been completely cancelled and refunded. There may be a few more at this point, but I think we’ve got most of them.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Orion Horton Henderson

Went to the site as soon as I opened my Lost Art email blog post early this morning. Too late. No cigar!
Figures, after I just placed an order…
I came to the comments section thinking I might complain about Horton pulling a quasi bait and switch after offering flat rate shipping but then not sending half my nails…. But refunding my shipping (immediately!) once they realized they couldn’t fulfill my order is enough to not only satisfy me, but make me a return customer.
I never would have bought nails from,Horton before (and now I obviously can’t again), but I think I have many future purchases in store for them.
Agree. Impresses me how quickly they communicated and then offered free shipping which was not expected.
