200 French extra-fine pins

A box of 200 no.4 extra-fine hardened and tempered ‘Couturex’ professional quality pins, smooth and properly tapered for use without snagging on fine and medium weights materials. Produced on the original machines still in operation at the museum factory of La Manufacture Bohin in Saint Sulpice sur Risle, Normandy, needle makers since the 1820s and since 1952 the last remaining still working in France. 30mm in length, and like the glass headed 0.6 in thickness - slightly less than the triangular.
