Bayonet and Challenge Brands - Going back over 100 years!
Bayonet brand for tacks, first registered in 1908, originally found fame in the ‘trimming shops’ of motor and carriage manufactures.
Requested for their clean condition and no waste in a box policy. The brand has been carried on for today’s range of cut tacks, drawing pins and masonry nails.
Challenge brand also introduced in the early 1900’s covers a wide range of small nails for all kinds of trades. In the early days of DIY, Panel Pins, Hardboard Pins and Moulding Pins were introduced to the range in the convenient take home boxes which were the forerunners of what we are all use today: pre-packs.
