Would anyone be interested in magnetic backs for kilt pins?

I don't have one of those; thanks for the link. I do have a braille writer, as well as, a slate, and that usually does the job.

The funny thing is that I was planning on selling my place and moving back into the city. I have had all my things packed up in plastic storrage boxes for over a year now. I decided to stay put when everything hit the fan last year. I wish I had labeled those storage containers because I'm starting to forget what is in them.

It can take hours to find something.

LOL I can imagine! We moved into the house over 5 years ago and still have boxes in the basement that have not been opened. I told the wife, that if we haven't needed them in this long, then we should just get rid of it all!

No! Don't buy into that! It's not true!

Trust me, I have a great deal of personal experience with that. Just keep your stuff organized because you do end up needing and wanting things you've stored much later on. I'm not talking about the really worthless stuff like trash you just threw in the box. Just keep it organized and well stored and you will be fine.

You will need it as soon as you get rid of it.

I have a stash of those badge backs from meetings I have worked. If they use those, I go around and pickup any leftovers at the end; sometimes being the last one out is a good thing. I had thought I would be using them for wooden train couplers.

We use those for our theater usher badges and they are strong and work through heavier clothing. Should work good on a kilt.

DALE.

Think they will probably be $3 shipped, but won't know for sure until I get them ordered. Just kicking it around as I really only want 5 of these hehe.

I would like 2 or 3 (if you can get the 3 magnet even better - my kilts a 16-22 oz mainly)

PM ME if you get them

Sure will. Hoping to order the 3 magnet ones tomorrow. At the price they are, I may go ahead and get 15 or 20 so I can keep 5 and do whatever with the others. I'll let you guys know.

Well sorry for the long delay, things got a little crazy and didn't get shipped. But I finally got the magnetic back in. I ordered the 3 magnet set into plastic that was suggested earlier. Very strong magnets, so I think these will work nicely for a kilt pin. I ended up having to get 30 as they ding you extra $$ if the order is not over so much. I want to keep 5, so the rest are up for grabs to the people that wanted them. $0.75 / each plus shipping (I gotta figure out if I can send these through USPS easy or if I have to do something special since the magnets are pretty strong).
