Walt - Thank you! You have a good eye my friend! Yes indeed they are aluminum push tacks that I picked up at an art supply store a few years ago .. knowing that somehow sometime there would be a use for them on my layout.
As I'm currently redoing the west end of my layout, changing from the winter/Christmas scenes to a more spring/summer/fall look, I reintroduced the Smith Brothers Automobile Sales dealership to the Westend neighborhood. As I used black foam board for the new car lot, I thought the aluminum push pins would work well for the edge.
