I collect curling pins and have never had a reply to my request to have a link to my web page http://webspace.webring.com/people/cd/drawmaster/needs.html. This is the first time I have used this page so perhaps that is the problem. Please let me know. Jim
For sports, not hair - Lots of people wouldn't know the difference and you didn't include any pictures, so I'm just assuming
My thought exactly No pictures. I don't take the time to read things, I look for pictures, then read.
Hi, Drawmaster! I'm afraid that by posting that link only in your welcome post to another member, that's why it got "lost."
There's not a section here where people post links to their site. I think you can provide a link in a signature to your posts, but the mods will have to clarify. This tries to be an informational site (sometimes successfully, sometimes less so) and I'm sure that people will be happy to see what you collect. There is a Selling forum here, but it's seldom used, and spamming is not tolerated. Always happy to welcome someone with a specialized expertise, or anyone with an avid interest in antiques and collectibles.
Curling is a sport like shuffleboard only it is played on ice. You deliver a 42lb stone down the ice to a target at the other end. Curling pins are souvenirs that you pin to your hat or sweater and some, like me, collect all the pins. The Canadian Mens Championship is called the Brier and has been in place since 1927. The early pins were only given to the competitors and the pins are scarce. MacDonald Tobacco was the first supporter and their heart which was in each can they sold, was implemented into the curling pin and continued until 1978. Labatts took over in 1980 and made the pin look like a small tankard.
