That is very difficult to capture the pic. But, that's not the nail. The position is not near the F holes.
Here, that's the same thing happened with the
Hawkes and Son Concert Double Bass labelled and dated 1910 - #2644 from the contrabass shoppe, UK.
"The instrument has what we call “pins” -
in the corners and at both top and bottom blocks. These were fitted to instruments - that were destined for use in tropical countries. In glue-softening high humidity's - the pins would help maintain the position of the table and back onto the blocks."
Sorry for my english to make you confuse.
