Dave, have you not tripped over all the black painted ones out there?? Actually, I can't recall ever seeing these in a grey finish like yours.

Hi Bruce.

Years ago I think I ran across some green painted ones with ‘ZA’ data stencils on them in white or yellow paint, but never spotted black ones.

Post some photos of what you have and any manufacturing variations, please. We might as well put as much variation information as we can in one spot for future reference.

Just went out and checked my stash. I thought I had a couple of the pegs but could only find the one. It appears to have an end formed on and then peened over.

Of note is the earthing stakes. One of them is very roughly turned on a lathe. Even the top end is poorly welded and finished.

I have a few of these... perhaps 40... some are hollow... some are solid... the solid ones are great tent pegs.
