We distribute small clothespins and clothespin necklaces as "ribbons" of our movement.
For a brief history of clothespins, see our Laundry History page.
The Better Clothespin in American Heritage (Fall 2006, Volume 22, Issue 2)
Clothespin Manufacturers in the USA
There are no wooden clothespin manufacturers left in the United States. The last three manufacturers to close their doors were Penley (ME), Diamond-Forster (ME), and National Clothespin Company (VT).  This picture was given to Project Laundry List’s Executive Director by Vermont State Archivist Gregory Sanford. The photograph of nine men dressed in clothespins was taken in 1925. The men worked at Montpelier & Barre Light & Power. Get a free bag of clothespins for identifying one or more of these gentlemen. | |
