Title: Tom Morris Style Pins
Post by: Paul Raley on February 21, 2025, 06:10:12 AM

Anyone have a source for the cool little green headed pins that Tom Morris used to sell?  I have lost most of mine over the years.  They were the best...thin, super sharp, and nice large green plastic head that was easy on your finger tips.

   I don't  think I have ever seen the ones Tom sold, but they sound like the pins that are pretty common among the free flight arena. You might check out Peck Polymers and National Free Flight Society. The ones I have all have orange heads. I don't know what area of use they may have crossed over from but they always reminded me of the pins used to mount insect examples on a board or display of some kind.

If these are not what you are thinking about they will do just fine.
