THE REAL DEAL.
These 3.5" clothespins might outlast you. Each one is hand crafted in Texas by folks who care how it functions. Doesn't matter whether you're hanging sheets in soft breezes or clipping the chip bag or bundling bills or crafting something clever, you'll want something sturdy that will stand the test of time—not some overseas knock off that splays sideways. Just holding one in your hand you know, it's the real deal, an often overlooked but highly functional tool for generations.
Each of these pins boasts full-coiled, stainless steel springs (also made in the USA) and hardwood ash lumber. You have your choice of natural no finish or a boiled linseed oil finish. Your call.
The process of making Heritage clothespins goes something like this... after the lumber is purchased, there are 15 steps to complete each pin. Pins are then assembled and packaged... where they wait for you.
Before you gasp at the price for a 10-pack, remember... each one is hand crafted in the USA to be sturdy and useful for generations. And nobody is getting rich off of them. Each one is worth the $2-ish she costs. We're just accustomed to smaller, cheap versions. But you can't hang grandma's quilt on the line with those.
WHAT'S GOOD?
WHAT DO THEY REPLACE?
Cheap knock offs from overseas made with low grade wood and springs. You need only pick up one of these to know the difference. It's heavier and the tension and strength of the grip is far superior. Seriously, try it. Each one is like a piece of art, a tool for generations to enjoy.
SOURCE
Not only are these pins proudly Made in the USA, all of the stuff they're made out of is too.
The ash comes from Southern or lower Appalachian; Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, as it has a finer texture and machinability than its Northern counterpart. Southern Ash tends to run better for a more uniform white color with less of the brown heartwood, and typically has better widths and lengths due to a longer growing season.
The springs are thick gauge, stainless steel made in New York State, which helps to hold the pins together and makes them last longer than the big box store clothespins.
