Historical Knitting & Crochet question:

How old is the usage of Blocking Pins* ?

Presumably it's tied to the invention and popular usage of rust proof pins - so somehow tied to Victorian Era Industrialisation ? - but this is hard for me, a non Historian to research.

[* Blocking Pins are groups of pins that today usually have plastic handles but can also be made with wooden handles]
