I figured the knowledgeable membership of this place was the perfect place to ask for the name of the cylinder with the allen screw in it that fits over a pin back. So, can anyone help a lady?

I guess it's not very likely I've got your answer, since even after 10 readings I can't figure out the question.

"..fits over the pin back.." What pin back? What is a pin back?

 

[DiamondLil]

I'm sorry for the lack of clarity. What I am talking about is a fastener that goes on the back of a lapel pin.

I guess they're called "Pin-Lockr"s.

 

[DiamondLil]

Is it that simple? There is no more "technical" name?

 

[Kainam]

You looking on where to buy them? A military surplus store might have them.

Army Surplus or Walmart.

My wife gets all her sewing supplies there and says they have zippers, pins, buttons, etc...worth a shot??

No, thanks. I always have some in my jewelry box.

This all came about in a discussion wherein this fellow was convinced the piece had a special name other than lock.

Any Harely dealership has them. At least the ones around here. I use them on my vest....

If you need some, Lil, let me know. They come on packs of 10, WITH the allen wrench for 5-6 bucks. I can snag ya some and send them to you....
