what is the name of a novelty gift with flat edged pins that takes on the shape of whatever is pressed upon it?
just wanted to know the name of a novelty gift that has a series of flat edged pins that when pressed upon it from the back, for example the palm of your hand, takes on the shape on the front. it was produced i think in the 1980's and had a glass front with flat edged pins in the middle. does anyone know?
I saw your question and it bugged me when I started thinking about it and didn't know the name lol. It's called a 3-D Pin art toy, pinpressions or pin art sculpture. Those are the few names I found but most commonly Pin Art. Hope I helped!

Tiebacks From Glass and Crystal - Antique Style Curtain Holds in Colored Glass
Glass curtain tiebacks are a simple and elegant way to redecorate your home and an opportunity to introduce unique designs and colors into your window treatment. Pressed pattern glass tiebacks became popular in America post civil war (around 1840) to brighten up the war worn homes (although glass tiebacks had been available since the early 1800’s). Tinted glass and a variety of vibrant designs were available to add color and detail to otherwise plain window designs. Although the popularity of materials and styles for curtain tiebacks has varied over time they do remain an important part of home decorating for both their functionality and beauty.
Curtain tiebacks are a useful tool for many reasons. Not only do they hold curtains back to allow sunlight and air into rooms, they can be used to further incorporate common decorating themes throughout the home. Glass curtain tiebacks are an especially elegant touch when glass hardware (such as lighting or doorknobs) is used in the same room. Not only are glass curtain tiebacks available in a wide variety of colors they are also available in a variety of designs and sizes to accommodate specific window needs. Heavier drapes need larger curtain tiebacks to accommodate the additional weight while lighter curtains (such as kitchen curtains) can easily be held back by smaller tiebacks.
Glass curtain tiebacks are still produced today – many of them based off the original pressed glass designs of the 1800’s. By using glass curtain tiebacks you can easily incorporate them into a common theme that can be used through every room in your home. Remember that a tieback can transform your entire window treatment from boring to a beautiful showpiece. There are a few steps to follow when selecting curtain tiebacks for your home however. First, it is important to use tiebacks appropriate for the weight and size of your drapery – larger panels will require a heavier duty tieback to function properly and hold your curtains back. Second, replace older and worn doorknob sets and lighting fixtures with glass knobs and shades. This will help tie the look together for you. You can ask an interior decorator for help or look through home decorating magazines for more great ideas.
Glass curtain tiebacks are readily available online as well as in most home decorating catalogs. Search for glass construction with a solid brass base for extra support and durability. When you work with glass hardware you can be sure that different designs and shapes will work together nicely. These tiebacks are available online through LookInTheAttic & company and they also offer free design assistance and help.
