Too funny, I am from I guess you would say your sister city but in Washington.  We got our city name from the California  black diamond coal company or something along those lines.

When the Welsh miners played out the coal fields here they moved to Washington to mine coal over there and as you say named it after the place they had came from last. That makes us brethren lol

What's the writing say on the object?

  • The title was changed to Help Identify ' Flat Spike '

Looks like 'UNION HDW' (Union Hardware Company)?  Bottom to right of year:  'SIMER...'?

I like oldmancoyote1's guess(?) that it's a railroad tie date spike, although I've never seen one that looked like this.
