I've never seen them before, so I Googled. From the picture on the package on the below website, it looks like they're used to pin pieces together for sewing, like a sleeve and sleeve opening. Or for pinning 2 pieces together for seaming.

I think so too. Does one end come off? You could pin two seams together, then put the end on so it stays in place.

The pins have the fancy head on them so that they won’t go through the knitted item like an ordinary sewing pin. I have some with the same shaped head.

Yes, the large heads are just to keep the. From getting lost in the knitting.

I think thats right. Here is another thing I picked up cos it looked pretty. 50 cents
Pretty obvious the previous owner did not use it.

That holder is an interesting idea, never seen that before.

They are pins, so I use them as pins and they live on a magnet next to my sofa for joining knitting pieces together if necessary. Nice thick pins that are perfect for knitting pieces, but perhaps a bit too blunt for material.

I use small DPNs to hold my pieces together. Since they are called marking pins, I wonder if they are to be used horizontally to mark rows.

I have these pins and use them to pin my knitting before sewing the seams. I keep them in a magnetic tray so I don't lose them...

Thank you

Interesting

That second item looks like it would come in handy for knitting as you moved about.
