French Coil-Sprung Brass Safety Pins, 23mm

French Coil-Sprung Brass Safety Pins, 23mm
£2.00
Ex Tax: £1.67
A Pack of 24 all brass, coil sprung, safety pins of 23mm length. Being especially fine and sharp these are particularly recommended for fine or delicate fabrics where larger, thicker pins, might snag or pull the weave out of shape. Made on original machines at the museum factory of La Manufacture Bohin in Saint Sulpice sur Risle, Normandy — since 1952 the only needle maker left in France.

Care Advice

Unlacquered brass will tarnish and develop a natural patina with time. If you wish to bring back its original shine a suitable metal polish like Brasso or Elsterglanz will do the trick — use according to instructions.
