| I have the trunk my great grandfather brought from Germany to Maryland
about 1880. I believe this trunk was in the family well before this
date as it appears much older. The fasteners used were nails and
rivets; no screws.
When did threaded metal fasteners appear on the scene?

| suggest you have a look at this link.
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q...2Bhistory&meta=
The equal sign needs to be part of the link. you may need to cut and paste
the link to your internet browser, and add the = before starting the URL
search.
The first article says first screws were 1797, but there were serious
problems with standardization - everything was custom made. If the
link does not work for you, then Google +thread +screw +history
