Veiling Pins

Veiling Pins. #28 nickel plated steel, white head, Box of 250.

I looked far and wide for a veiling pin with a head that would penetrate wood hat blocks without either the head falling off easily or my thumb going through the metal. I found them! These pins are longer and the heads stay on better. 1-5/8″ long below the ball.

Wise woman hint: If you poke yourself and bleed on your hat, take some thread, wad it up, spit on it, rub it on the hat, and the blood will transfer to the thread.
