I stole these two drawing pins off the Lillehammer notice board.
Such a great design. The pin is made from the punched out triangle.
I searched for a box of new ones, as they seemed to be used everywhere...but to no avail.

On our recent trip to Norway we had a day trip to Lillehammer.
This is a photo of a small section of fence that the locals were using as a notice board.

200 safety pins for a pound!

Mass Production of metal pins amazes me...how can you make so many so cheap?
There was a machine at a steam fair in Tabley that just cut wire to a certain length ready for pin making..
The safety pin is such a great design.

Lots of Safety Pins
