Title	Pins made by Howe Manufacturing Co., Birmingham
Creator	Howe's Manufacturing Co.
Place	Birmingham (Conn.) Glastonbury (Conn.)
Topic	Pins
Theme	Lifestyle Livelihood
Description	Metal pins are arranged on a pink sheet of paper in two vertical columns, each with four horizontal rows of pins. The upper row of pins on the right side is missing, because that portion of the paper is torn off. The bottom row of each column is missing almost all the pins, but holes remain in the paper where the pins used to be. The front of the paper has a design printed in black ink. Flowers and squiggles frame the edge, and there is a bird with outstretched wings toward the center. Printed in black ink below the bird is, "HOWE'S/ SOLID HEADED/ PINS/ MADE BY THE/ HOWE MANUFACTURING Co./ BIRMINGHAM./ CONN."
Notes	The pins originally belonged to Albert G. Walker. Walker was born in Connecticut in 1836. He was the son of Polly and Nathaniel Walker, a farmer in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Albert Walker worked as a spoonmaker at the cutlery works in Naubec for many years, and also worked at the Williams' Brothers Company. Walker was also an entertainer; his extensive collection of props for his magic act are in the Connecticut Historical Society collections. He died in Glastonbury in 1902.
