Inspiration
In the 17th and 18th centuries, pinballs were used as personal pincushions to store pins and needles. They were often personalized with initials, dates, symbols, or sentiments. A wearer sometimes attached their pinball to a belt or châtelaine (decorative belt hook or clasp) by a ring and chain or by a braided cord. This kit was inspired by a pinball dating from the late 18th century in the Colonial Williamsburg collection. The finished pinball is designed to fit the two-inch pinball ring (not included) available at Tarpley, Thompson, and Company in the Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg.
