Hi! I'm looking for vintage clothes pins...the kind with the rounded top...they're wood and they look like this:

Any amount would be great but I would love as many as I can get :) Just let me know what you'd be interested in trading for. :) I can crochet, knit, wood burn, etc :)

I've seen these recently and I think it was at Walmart. Don't have any but you might want to check there. Joey

Gracey,
I have purchased them at Walmart. That doesn't make them vintage, but they have had them. You could try ebay or etsy if you want true vintage.

If you are wanting them for hanging clothes on the line than yes, Walmart. If you are looking to do crafting with them, I may have a few vintage pins kicking around.

I have a few too, if you need more.

Hi...
Ace Hardware sells thems also, but they are new in the style of the vintage clothespin.
Take care,
Annie
