<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The old pins are grotty, rusted =
and deformed
and would not be worth preserving and re-bluing. Apart from which =
the old
pins will have their scoring (the end part of the pin which is in =

plank) filled with old wood particles and rust. The new pins will =
be
chromed and indeed .. new. The object is to find out =
what your
