Original Golden Gate Bridge Rivets |

When work on the GOlden Gate Bridge was completed in 1936, a schedule was set up for replacement of rivets corroded by the salt air. My brother in law knew one of the workers who kept the rivets, welded two on a small metal plate, added a brass plaque and sold them to tourists. He gave my brother several of them.

THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!
Very cool!
Incredible! I love this!
My cousin’s uncle worked on the Bay Bridge. One day he fell from the Bridge 185′ to the water. The only thing that saved him was a garbage scow which was carrying soft garbage that he landed in. I suppose you could say that he came up smelling like a rose!
Wow! Lucky garbage!
