I was just at a flea market near Winchester VA and from a dealer who also had some interesting vintage buttons, I bough a small box of what look like the description of the "dressing pins" as per the recent discussion of such. They are "blued" straight pins, with black glass heads, and the pins are about 1 1/4 inch long each. They are in fantastic condition, although not in an original container (they were in a tiny square white cardboard box from a jeweler in PA). A fwe of them have some rust on t hem, but because of the blueing, it comes off easily. There are a fwe regular silver-color pins in with them. Do these sound like the real thing?
