Like and save for later
2 vintage paper packs of straight pins (with pins intact - NOT rusted) + 1 box of pins (the pins are loose in the box with no way of knowing if they are the original pins or not - but I'm including it, even though it is in rough shape, for the advertising interest)
All together, this is over 700 pins
1) Folded Paper pack - tan paper
"S.C. The Puritan
Superior to All Others
The Acme of Perfection in Pins
Made only by The American Pin Co.
Waterbury, Conn.
This Paper contains 360 pins" (see photos - only a couple seem to be missing)
with black and white art nouveau-inspired advertising
Some discoloration and one small tear that I see
2) Folded Paper pack - green paper
"Oakville Company's Brass Wire 324 Sovran Pins SC
with Perfect Points and Solid Heads
Made in U.S.A.
Oakville Company
Division Scovill Manufacturing Company
Waterbury, Connecticut
324 pins" (see photos - they all seem to be here)
with dark green, ornate, Victorian looking advertisement
Some discoloration
3) Blue box - tattered
"Puritan Brass Rustproof Dressmakers Pins

inside is just a bunch of loose pins - many different kinds, so I think the original person just used the box to hold ANY of her pins
