iron nail
Hammered metal peg
An iron nail is a nail made of iron rather than other metals.
The phrase is somewhat redundant since nails have historically been made of iron by default, but it emphasizes the material—often in contrast to modern steel or galvanized nails, or in historical and literary contexts: The old barn was held together with hand-forged iron nails.
