Kabourek, Black Enamel, Gold-Headed insect Pins
From the Czech Republic.
One of the lesser-known but excellent pins. Give them a try! They may turn out to be your new go-to.
Black Enamel, available in all sizes from 000 to 7. With gold-coloured heads.
Stainless steel pins are better for humid environments; this is a higher quality pin (which also means these are more expensive pins - no surprise!).
Gold-headed pins are the most common type of pins. The heads are visible but not "in your face" visible. These are excellent pins for a wide variety of specimens.
100 pins/package.
Size 000: diameter 0.25mm, length ca. 39mm.
Size 00: diameter 0.30mm, length ca. 39mm.
Size 0: diameter 0.35mm, length ca. 39mm.
Size 1: diameter 0.40mm, length ca. 39mm.
Size 2: diameter 0.45mm, length ca. 39mm.
Size 3: diameter 0.50mm, length ca. 39mm.
Size 4: diameter 0.55mm, length ca. 39mm.
Size 5: diameter 0.60mm, length ca. 39mm.
Size 6: diameter 0.65mm, length ca. 39 mm.
Size 7: diameter 0.70mm, length ca. 52 mm.
Size 7 pins are sometimes referred to as "railway spikes" because of their rather impressive size. They can be slightly more expensive than the little guys, depending on the supplier.
A word of caution: some display and storage cases may not accommodate the extra length of these "spikes". Most notably, size 7 pins are too long to fit California Academy drawers.
