A Guide to Collecting Iron Stone : Antique Iron Stone Collecting: Discoloration
Try finding pillows that are the same colour as the curtains and by placing them on the bed, they can accent each other. You can also go to a fabric store and see if you can buy the matching fabric in some ways –dont have to be exactly– and make your own pillows adding the pearly gold and a yellow gold trim to them. I think that it will actually look pretty good, and help tie the two golds together.
I have torn down several old barns and houses in the past and I have seen these nails before. However these nails are still in use today. They can be purchased at your local hardware store. Floors were installed using them because of the small or as you put it no head. The round head would prevent the tongue and groove from fitting together tightly if not placed right. Your right they are extremely tough and used to nail to concrete and block walls. The houses I have torn down were built around 1935 to 1940 but both types were found.
Maybe it was melted in a fire, with the money inside, or not finnished.Are you sure it is copper?
