Hand made nails one hundred years old are being used in the construction of the Pioneer Hut in the Women’s Section at the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition. The hut will be the main feature of the North Island women’s exhibit and will be built in the form of a replica of an early settler’s home about the 1840 period. A raupo roof and a backcloth scene of a sailing ship in the Bay will complete the atmosphere. Some of the nails are from the Bay of Islands and some from Petone and were used originally in early settlers’ dwellings.
