The History of the Wooden Clothespin

Before modern dryers, people relied on simple tools like wooden clothespins to hang laundry. Originally a solid wooden peg, the design improved in 1853 when David M. Smith patented the spring-loaded version, which kept clothes secure even in the wind—solving what he called a “serious evil to washerwomen.”

Over time, clothespins evolved from handmade wooden tools to mass-produced essentials during industrialization.
