Re: [lace-chat] gold plated pins!
The people who make many of the pins in the world have been looking for a long time at the problem of brass pins tarnishing. Vivienne, it's a luxurious idea, but I find my brass pins, many of which are about 15 years old and used over and over, have not tarnished at all. Perhaps it is the constant use which prevents this.

[lace-chat] gold plated pins!
Hi all, I would like your views. Though I am a supplier this is not promoting any thing I sell but I think Lace makers need to express an opinion on. The people who make many of the pins in the world have been looking for a long time at the problem of brass pins tarnishing. they tell me they are specially treated but that they know in, their words, 6 months 2 years 5 years they will not be the same. So they are proposing the make a gold plated pin which they claim will stay bright and untarnished for years and years. They say but are not fixed on it yet, the price would be similar to say our Torchon pin but you would get say 250 as opposed to 400. I have told them I don't think British lace makers would pay the differance. But then I thought of the ladies who have to replace their pins so now I don't know. They are a good kind family companya and I don't want them to waste money on some thing that won't sell. What do you think?
