These are the kind of pushpins I grew up with in Switzerland. On the Curiosity Shoppe they call it the Italian Pushpins. Anyhow, seeing these made me feel a little nostalgic. (le sigh)

I used tacks like these (same style, not the same brand) to reupholster a set of dining chairs. Worked really well!

I grew up in Taiwan and used the same thumb tacks as well. I remember the the colored circles (plastic pieces made to cover the metal round part) would fall off after a long period of use.

I have great memories of these when I was a kid. Also remember them being called thumb tacks. I used to take them and make patterns on the cork boards in our home.
