Vintage World War II Era Sewing Pins

A unique piece of social history and a must-have for any collector of vintage sewing or WWII memorabilia. This is an original, full box of Empress Plated Iron Pins, manufactured in England during the Second World War.
What makes this special is the specific "WAR-TIME PACKING" hallmark on the box. During the war (1939–1945), materials were strictly rationed. Manufacturers had to switch from brass to plated iron and use simplified, unlaminated cardboard packaging to save resources.
