| Does anyone have a better picture than the catalog of part 4459?
I'm sorting through a bulk lot and came across a pin that looks like it,
but I wanted to make sure it wasn't a knock off. I know there are sets from
that era in this lot, so it's possible.
Here's a picture I took. Looks like it has the same round sprue mark and
the long friction ridges, but the plastic is much thicker/more rigid than the
current technic pins.

The plastic on those original versions was thicker and more rigid. Along with
the long friction ridges, they were crazy hard to take out compared to the modern
versions.
