This everyday object did not look like this at all in ancient times.

The passing of time and  technology

have caused many objects to change their appearance while retaining their original use. Most often, we only find these antique pieces through photographs or archive images on television or social networks. But when we can see them in real life and handle them, it’s like a part of history that presents itself to us. This is what happened with this Internet user who found  wooden objects  that we use every day, but in their original form.

Well-known wooden pins

Sometimes we use objects  every day  without knowing their “journey”, without knowing how they were made, or without wondering if they have always been as we see them every day. We have all at least once dried our laundry or seen the neighbors putting socks, shirts or other pants on a line in the sun. And to keep all these clothes from flying away in the wind,  pins  hold them. Originally, these pins were made of wood before being introduced to the market in plastic form for cost reasons. We are of course talking about  clothespins , everyday objects, sold by the millions every year in all countries of the world.
