[Histonet] dissecting pins

[Kolman, Kimberly D.]

Does anyone know where I can find some large-head pins to use when pinning out large tissue specimens for fixation?  We already use the large "T-pins" and the regular bulletin board push-pins are too small.  We need something with a larger, easier to grip plastic head, and long (at least ½ inch) pin shaft.  

Thanks for your help (and hope it might be one of our 'contract vendors', or I won't be able to use them anyway... L)
