ocupational kilt pin
Just made myself a new kilt pin for wearing while doing my kilted blacksmithing demos, its made from 1/8" brass with two pin backs brazed on the back, and is presently pined to my denim union kilt.
just wondering ifthere are other ocupational kilt pins out there?

How about a nice mouse. Or perhaps a penguin, butterfly or apple? Depending on what your preference is.
