Needle and Thread carries brass pins that are thin and plain (I've ordered them), but I think they may be only 2 inches long; look here: http://www.woodedhamlet.com/threads_pins_needles/brass_pins.htm Nope, sorry; the longest ones are only 1 1/2 inch--sorry. Historic Enterprises carries brass pins, but I'm told they're significantly thicker. They are 2 inches long and come in packs of 4. http://www.historicenterprises.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=209&c=33 Finally, Reconstructing History sells brass pins by the dozen, with either "coral" heads or plain wire ones. Theirs are about 1 1/2 inches long again (40 mm). https://www.reconstructinghistory.com/brass- pins.php?s=&c=111&d=181&e=182&q=1&p=454&w=21 These are the only sources I know about.
