GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT
SAFETY PINS
Construction:
Most safety pins are constructed
from wire made of either hardened brass or high carbon
steel, which is then coated with nickel or gilt. The steel
wire is plated, in order to strengthen it against rust and
corrosion. Brass wire will not rust. The prime reason for
plating brass safety pins is to improve their appearance. A
nickel plating will give the pin a silvery appearance. A
gilt plating results in a gold colored finish. There are
also black safety pins which are constructed using un-plated
brass wire.
You will not be able to determine whether
a pin is made of brass or steel simply by its appearance,
because brass pins may be plated in nickel, and have a
silvery look, and steel pins may be gilted and have a gold
appearance. Please refer to our Specification Charts on
pages 4 and 5 for details regarding the construction of our
various pins. |

Since brass pins are more expensive than
steel, they are usually chosen only when there is need for
extra protection against the possibility of rust. If price
is your main interest, however, ask us about our Econo-pins.
Your savings in price is due to a construction of low carbon
steel, plated in gilt or nickel; or for the greatest
savings, low carbon steel, plated in zinc.

safety pins are packed 10 gross to a box. (10x144 =1440
