<p>[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 415955, member: 136"]A company in the US called Risdon Corp used to make these pins here in the States from the late 1940's well into the 1960's. They called them KEY TAGS (see photo below - I've circled the words.) My grandfather worked for Risdon for many years - thru WWII until about 1965, and we always had TONS of these pins around the house.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite their original intended use, they had many other uses. (Horse blankets, for sure!) My grandmother even used them to hold her knitting stitches when she needed to switch needles. I still have a few of them around.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]145124[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
