Started collecting about six years ago, have 22 pins, eight wood rails, two wedge heads , one pre WW2. and five solid states. I work and restore EMs, haven't learn a lot about working on SS yet. Being a Artist ,I really like the Art and woodwork in the early 50's pins. I also have a Monster Bash so I'm open minded to the vintage pins and their design also. I would like to say that in all of the hobbies I have been in , the pin community has some of the nicest people I've met.
