Nails for hanging things on wall.

I am looking for a decorative nail. (if there is such a thing.) To hang
things on the wall, and the nail is exposed. Low enough profile...not a
hook.

After re-reading his post, I think he really is looking for hangers
for those fancy Victorian decorative rope thingies.

You might try looking for wiring harness board nails. They're chrome plated
with a smooth round end and a little collar to control how deep they're
driven into the board. Panduit makes them.

"Museum" look? Wires from hangboards well above eye level.

A search for "decorative picture frame hangers" found these and many
more:

But I really think your best one is here, they have a whole "flock" of

Ok, since it seems you're serious about this question, I have to ask why you
would EVER want to have the hanging wire visible (this applies to pictures
mainly - i'm not sure about the other items you listed).

There is absolutely no reason that I can think of why you would ever need to
have the cord exposed. Sure, there are a lot of poorly hung picture frames
out there with the wires poorly or improperly installed, but that doesn't
mean you should find pretty nails. You should take the old wire off and
reinstall it properly or replace it.

Yeah, well...he can look up the Maze Nail site, which I'm not about to do right
now. Check out Tremont Nails there.

important.

But seriously, what are you hanging? Heavy items require heavy
hangers, for lightweight items a simple brad can suffice.

Hi Gerald,
Thanks for the reply. I'll check their site. Why do you ask whether I'm

I am not a native, but have been here in the swamps for 30 some-odd years.

Well, I guess I opened myself up for all kinds of silly remarks. I am
looking to hang things on the walls, like picture frames suspended by cords
(that are visible), etc. Hanging wallpockets, and bric a brac. A common,
or finish, or regular nail looks like...well, you just stuck a nail in the
wall.
