    Smile late-night kilt pin finds

    Hello, Rabble,

    For your viewing pleasure some more ebay kilt pin options. My usual disclaimer: I am in no way connected to these pins/auctions, I just like to help get people thinking of alternative kilt pins...

    Caveat emptor, there's something about that "sterling" "1920's" dragon pin that doesn't look authentic to my eye, though $10.00 would seem a fair price for what I think it is.

    You do post some interesting finds, though.

    Regards,
    Rex.

    Very cool
    Love checking out what you find.

    That rifle pin looks like the tie tack in my dad's collection. His would have dated back to the 50's also. I have it in my possession now. Mine is gold in color.

    With some "thinking out of the box" you can come up with a lot of interesting items suitable for a pin. I assume suitable pins could be found at a craft store to attach to the item if it did not have one.

    Here's the one I most frequently wear...

    An inukshuk from my many travels to the bush in Ontario. I've built a number of inukshuks up there. It sort of reminds me that no matter how far away I am, I can always find my way back.
    If you didn't care what happened to me, and I didn't care for you. We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain. Occasionally glancing up through the rain, wondering which of the buggers to blame, and watching for pigs on the wing.
