Pins, Pins, Pins

This site bills itself as "the first pin-related web page on the Internet" and I believe it! It's certainly the most extensive pin site I've seen. Collector Bob Hemsath has amassed more than 4,000 hatpins, lapel pins, and tie tacks, and has scanned and posted some 2,600 of them onto this site. Click on "Index" to view the pins, subdivided into categories like "Cartoon Characters," "Company Logo," "Oddball," and the ominous-sounding "Police and Weapons." The collection of political campaign pins alone would be worth the surf. Do you have a pin you'd like to get rid of? Send it to Hemsath. He'll post it at the site and provide a link to your web page in return.
