European Gardening: Searching for Espalier Nails or Anchoring Devices, 1 by baagrant

I have been searching in the US for espalier nails, but alas, no one seems to have these any more. I had purchased these in the past and they worked so well. They are masonry nails with squares of lead around the head and a "ribbon" of lead extending to the side. The "ribbon" could be lifted for more branches, and never constricted the growth of the vine. I am attaching a picture of mine and including a picture I found on the Internet of another type. I like the ones I have used better, but at this point I am no longer picky. I just really don't want to have to have to self-manufacture something that might work if espalier nails can still be purchased. Please help.
