Skeptical of that statement, Rob. I find that the more chit you have the more likely you are to misplace it!!

My thoughts exactly. The new "good" chinese ones look like an upside down question mark or lightning bolt after a few uses if the tip doesnt break off first. We cant even make a good push pin anymore its sad.

I had barns, bring some with him when he was coming around to buy fur, just got three boxes

Moore push pins have been made in the USA since 1904
..Never had many problems with them, but only use basswood fur forms.

Purchased my latest ones in 2017, but still have some from the 70's as well.

If you find the Moore brand, buy them. They are no longer being produced and trapping suppliers have went to the overseas versions that you can buy off amazon

Dangit, hate to see the Moore push pins go away.

Thanks for all the advice folks, especially about the Moore, made-in-America brand. After much searching I finally found a place that had some of the old stock left and ordered four boxes of 100.

If they are the ones I think they are I'll probably order another four boxes. I should be set for a long while then.
