I've been on the prowl for some REAL clothespins
and I finally found some on Ebay.
Clothespins are no longer made like they used to be... (saying that makes me feel old)
Nowadays the wooden clothespins are cheaply make, they arn't seasoned so that they give-a-little when you hang up a pair of denim jeans. The new ones crack, and splinter and they are basically useless.
The last few years I have had to pick up a few of the "pincher" style pins, but they dont do a very good job of keeping the clothes on the line when there's a strong wind, on the other hand my "new" vintage pins do. I got 40 of them, they are in good used condition, and nicely seasoned
They are wrapped with a strong wire which keep them from breaking.

Perfect for those hard to hold up jeans. These jeans aint goin' no where.

I will agree that these are the best clothes pins based off my years of helping you with laundry, they are easiest to put on/off the line quickly and they don't leave a mark in the clothes. That's cool that you found some good 'ol pins.
ReplyDeleteGood ol wire wraped pins are the best.
