Vintage Small Peg

The market today is lined with probably every type of small peg you can imagine and with hundreds of manufacturers of these pegs in the United States alone this comes as no surprise. However, the big problem with many of these small pegs is that they are not half as useful as a vintage small peg. These small pegs are designed based on ones that existed fifty years ago, at a time when pegs were both durable and also managed to hold on to your clothes regardless of what happens.

Here are a few reasons why you would want to purchase a vintage small peg:

  • They are durable and have excellent grip
  • Look great and are easy to use
  • Made from the best wood ever used to make pegs

Why does a vintage small peg have excellent grip?

This is probably a question you will be asking yourself from the time you start using these vintage pegs. The big reason why the grip of these pegs is so good is because they are made from excellent quality wood and the loading mechanism is particularly tight. The only drawback is that loading these pegs take a bit more strength than ones you can normally purchase from the store across your street but other than that they do a good job of securing your clothes. The great thing about these pegs that even after several uses you can be rest assured that they will not break, bloat or have the loading mechanism freeze on you, the result being that they can last for years.

Where can you purchase vintage pegs from?

The easiest way to purchase a vintage small peg is to visit a local department store or mall. You may also want to visit a store that specializes in pegs. However, if you are still unable to find the right peg you may want to take your search online. It is easier to find vintage small pegs online and it just requires a simple Google search. Many if not all the retailers online will offer you big discounts on bulk purchases. The only drawback to purchasing online is that you will not be sure of the quality until the pegs reach your doorstep, however this risk can be minimized by doing business with online companies that have a reputation of selling quality pegs.

Spotting a Vintage Peg

Unlike today’s pegs a vintage small peg will have a different design which stands out from all the latest pegs. Vintage pegs are often made from thicker pieces of wood and the loading mechanism is made from thicker metal. In addition you’ll find that pressing on them is a bit harder especially when they are new and this is where they excellent grip stems from. These pegs are also nearly impossible to bend or break which is why they are so durable. However, always make sure that you are purchasing the right sized pegs for your clothes especially if you are living in a particularly windy location.
