Pinballs

Pinballs: not just for sewing.  Think about it, most women fastened some part of their outfit with straight pins.  I use them to close my gown or jacket, attach the ribbon to my cap, close my kerchief, attach a bow on the gown front, and sometimes to hold or mark other random items (like that pinball on a slippery silk ribbon).  Keeping a few pins nearby just makes sense.  I did find this one image of a woman sewing with what appears to be a pinball, although she's taken it off and set it on the table.  The rest show women with pinballs in all sorts of situations, even a rather fancy woman coming from church!  It's hard to find these images purely because of the tiny size of the object and the difficulty of verifying that it's not a watch, etc.  If you know of any others, please let me know!  I'm trying to expand this collection (and hopefully expand the use of pinballs).

It's not really a pinball, but even Indians were making fancy embroidered pincushions.  Just out of Birch bark and Moose hair.  Wow.
