All aboard the nostalgia train! This 3D printed railroad spike replica is a tribute to the iron titans of American history; from Promontory Summit where the Golden Spike met the rails, to the sweat and steel of the Transcontinental Railroad. Perfect for railfans, desk historians, or anyone who’s ever yelled “I choo-choo-choose you!” Designed for easy printing with easy peel supports, this spike looks like it could hold a rail in place, but we recommend not trying it on your next Union Pacific project. Makes a great prop, gift, cosplay accessory, or conversation piece when you're telling people how the West was won... with true grit, buckets of coal, and probably a lot of broken tools. Fun Fact: The original Golden Spike driven in 1869 was made of 17.6-karat gold. Ours is made of...shocker…plastic! Still impressive.
