I never heard them called Pins ,

They were also called clothespegs in the North of
England where I grew up. They also were not the kind with two
separate pieces and a spring to hold them together, rather a single
piece of carved wood with a knob on top and two "legs". It was easy
to draw a tiny face on the knob, wrap a scrap of cloth around them,
and have a clothespeg dolly.

Yes we did)))))

That is not the kind we use. Ours have two pieces of wood and a
spring. The other ones we buy in craft stores, just for that purpose.

Yes we have the spring clip ones now but mostly made with plastic. I
haven't seen the others in the shops for years.

I hate the plastic ones. They break too easily.
