Default Pins

Has you seen this kind of modeling pin? It's smaller and thinner than the typical T-pins at the LHS. My brother bought a package about 30 years ago, and I've never found them since. The cross section is flat, thinner than a regular common pin, so that it can be inserted right through the balsa without splitting the wood, and the loop at the top makes them real easy to pull out.

I'd love to find another pack. Any info will be appreciated.

(I hope the photo is clear, my monitor is dying a slow death and is kind of dark.)

Hobby Lobby sells some small diameter pins made in the Czech Republic I believe; they have plastic heads so they are very easy on the fingers. JIM

Maybe I should have said the pin in question is the lower one in the photo. Above it is a regular common pin shown for comparison.
