My grandfather Michael Conroy was the last nail maker in Cappamore. He lived in the village of Cappamore, in the Barony of Owney Beg, in the County of Limerick. He used make two hundred nails a day. He is dead forty-years and he was sixty six years when he died. He used to sell nails in the big shops in this village, often he would go into Limerick and the nails dealer. When he would have all the nails sold he would buy more wire and messages. He used to make every kind of nail horse-nails, wire-nails, and six inch nails and tacks.
