These pins came from the home of 2 sisters who did many crafts throughout the 50's, 60's and beyond! They're true vintage and well made. The box of 2" Candco plain head pins is new and seems full or almost full to me. The box weighs 9 oz. and the pins are heavy weight. The box of round pearl head pins is marked 1 gross - 12 dozen. I think there are a few pins missing from that box.
