100% spun cotton

For keeping baby diapers in place to saving us from pricks and pokes, the trusty safety pin has almost as many uses as the paper clip.

THANK YOU to the American mechanic and prolific inventor Walter Hunt. His patent, #6,281 issued by the United States Government Patent office, showed a pin made from one piece of wire, coiled into a spring at one end, with a clasp and point at the other end allowing the point of the wire to be forced by the spring into the clasp.

A portion of proceeds from sales of this item will help fund scholarships to those pursuing an education in Mechanical Engineering.
