    can you post a pic? I was thinking about pulling the pin off and putting in the center...or maybe 4 straight pin backs in each corner

    I suppose you could solder a second pin below the other. I've seen kits in craft shops.

    I'll wrap the clasp with a bit of wire so it doesn't come loose. Otherwise, I like it fine like it is.

    Thanks Hank.
    I like the color I got, but that looks real nice.

    That's a good idea Mike. I've not had time yet (busy weekend) to think about rectifying this one, but it did cross my mind that a block or pad of something level with the pin and attached to the back would probably do it. I'll be experimenting....

    I like my two pins very much, but the bronze ones are something else. Lucky Moderators! :mrgreen:
