Galv finish

The interweb seems to think they should only ever be 1/2" long but these are sewn into hessian sacks with the makers info on there.
These are from Whitfield Hodgson and Brough of Kettering (makers of cobbling equipment)

Are you sure it isn't "gimp" pins? The design use for which was upholstery, similar in design to pictured and yes the shorter ones were more common.
 
After a few pink gins, I might have read gimp pins and wondered if I was on the right forum
 
My apologies, Gimp Pins it is - and still available if anyone needs stupidly long pins for anything
