Vintage Safety Pin #783 with Ten Numbered Gear Pins

Likely mid-century military or industrial issue, this oversized #783 safety pin holds ten individually numbered tags (#740 X 2, #783 X 8). Pins like these were commonly used to organize gear, laundry, or tools, ensuring each item could be matched to its owner or unit. Its utilitarian design and stamped steel construction speak to a time when even the smallest hardware was built for durability in the field.

Clip it to a tote, or field bag or repurpose the numbered tags as key keepers for organizing your own kit.
