The pipe load is made from an off-brand of Q-tips.

Now all I gotta do is find out when flat metal banding came into common useage.
A quick google search showed patents related to metal banding dating back at least to 1912, probably good enough to ensure its use during the '30s.

Mary says you can buy the nail tape locally pretty darned cheap, and she should know. We have grandkids that do nail art.

Oh, well, I guess I'm just too fast on the "BUY IT!" button.
Supposedly it'll be in your mailbox on Thursday, and just by chance, I may be in your neighbourhood.

I like the look of those loads, Tom, but it would be a lot easier to load and unload, especially the steel plate, if you had blocking underneath them. Thin plate steel can be handled with a magnet, but it's fairly difficult to control both the number that are picked up at one time and to keep them straight.

I wanted to, that was the plan but the prototype said otherwise and I modeled it that way

Kinda hard to argue with that.
