[Nhcoll-l] insect pins

[bayshark at exemail.com.au]

Hi

 

Last 10 years I am using magnificent Czech pins from Zdenek KOSTAL email
zd.kostal at tiscali.cz

 

At around $6.00 per 100 with shipping, they are reasonably priced.



 

Regards

 

Vratislav

Hi all,

There was some chatter recently on the Entomological Collections Network
listerv about which insect pin is best - brand, style, etc. My colleague and
I are following up with a short survey about insect pins, the results of
which will inform some tests we are designing with engineers at Penn State.
Do you have a specific pin type you want to test? Let us know!

We're also happy to receive samples of pins for testing (especially no. 2
size) - even just a couple pins - as this will increase the number of
replicates and will hopefully represent different dates of manufacture for
the pins we already have. We *really* need no. 2 stainless steel Elephant
brand pins, which I know are more precious than gold. Any leads are
appreciated!
