“I have no idea what these are, but I found them at my grandma’s house.”

Wooden clothespins, dating back to the 19th century, served a vital role in laundry routines when hanging clothes out to dry was common. Initially crafted from materials like bone, metal, or horn, they gained popularity for being affordable and easily accessible. Craftsmen showcased their skill by hand-carving these early versions with precision and pride.

Their durability ensures they last for years, offering an eco-friendly alternative to disposable plastic clips.
