What are old rivets good for?

[txlonghorn1989]

Picked up these rivets last year amongst a bunch of hardware. I hate to just throw them out but I'm tired of stepping over them in the shop. I'm not a metal worker so I don't see myself reusing them. Do they have any value?

Thanks for any insight.

good for someone that does art deco type stuff out of metal .
post them in the classified section to cover cost of shipping & someone might want them
what size are they?

 

[wrenchguy]

size?

 

[txlonghorn1989]

Multiple sizes...starting top left, ending bottom left (moving right, down & left)...

4" x 7/8 - 1
1-5/8" x 7/8 - 1
2" x 3/4 - 4
3" x 5/8 - 1
2" x 3/4 - 2
2-3/4" x 3/4 - 2
2-1/2" x 3/4 - 3
2-1/4" x 7/8 - 6

Didn't realize there were that many size differences in there.

I would fix all my broken rail cars with them.

In seriousness, don’t toss them....someone will have a use.

If they build the Titanic replica, they'll be needing a bunch of those. Yours are better quality that the originals.
