Collection of straight pins "The straight pin has been seen universally for centuries, and although its function has remained relatively the same, the process in which they are made has progressed and streamlined. The straight pin is known mainly for its role in sewing as a small, thin piece of metal used to temporarily hold two pieces of fabric together. The pin has been made out of many different materials like metal, bone, and even wood." Source: Boyle, C. (n.d.). Pinning down the history of the straight pin. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/sites/parks/files/assets/documents/naturalcultural/archaeology/straight-talk-about-straight-pins.pdfContext
