Dad used to have a few of those in the garage. Not a lot of holding power but they did work. There’s only one problem. I don’t think we have a single clothespin in the house. And I’m not sure where you’d buy them anymore.

Those are for holding food bags closed. They work for cloths lines too.

Well that's a neat idea. Can still buy clothespins at Wallace's. I use them mostly for leatherwork -- holding a holster of wet veg tan closed around a handgun.

I've never used them turned around like that Lenn but I keep a bleach jug, with the side cut about 1/4th away, full of them for use on a lot of stuff. When we cover up at a gun show we use them to clip the covers together.

They worked great for holding balloons to our bicycles too! Mom kept wondering where all her clothespins kept going to?
