Rather than posting this in "Auction Talk", I thought it get more attention here...

Do these look like razor pins? I would think they need to be re-sized first.

Those are ????? Blind Rivets???? I think is what they are actually called

They are too small for pinning razors...

If you google brass rivets there are some cool things out there, but I haven't found quite the right size myself....

I think you're right about the blind rivets... thought I saw some of those at a construction site.
Hmmm, it's interesting though... 3 bids on... I hope none of our members.

To short to work with a razor. Somebody isn't going to be happy!

Will the #713171 (5/8"x16 Gauge) Solid Brass Escutheon Pins work?

Yes, that will work perfectly…

However I find the #16 is just a smidgen larger than 1/16” so if you are replacing pins on a vintage razor, these Escutheon Pins may be “difficult” to go through the hole in the scales, so you may have to ream the hole just a bit (don't force it or your scales may split)… exact same thing if you drill holes in new scales with a 1/16” bit, the hole will be slightly small for the pin so you may want to widen those too.

Hope this helps
