I think it was metal. I have a plastic Dritz one and also a metal one from Joann's but the pins go every which way. when you drop the pins into the one I saw they automatically positioned themselves with the heads of the pins going to the outside of the bowl. I will be checking out the dollar stores - I never thot of that.

And from Harbor Freight, they are on sale for $2.99 and I love all three of mine and will probably buy a couple more so that I have one at each station in my quilt room. And don't worry, you can throw a pin at them from 3 feet away and those little bowls grab 'em!!!!

My sewing machine is in a metal standing frame and I keep a magnetic bowl stuck to the leg making the pins very easy to drop into. I mostly use mine as a catcher when sewing.
I also use these at work in my office. They're stuck to the side of my filing cabinet and hold my paper clips and bulldog clips sorted by size. VERY handy.

While at the quilt festival in Shipshewana I saw a new magnetic pin bowl that I love. Of course, the vendor had sold out of them. I've been looking on-line and can't find it and I didn't write down the name of it. When you dropped your pins onto the bowl the heads of the pins all went to the outside of the bowl making them super easy to grab. Does anyone know what these are called, who makes them or where I could get one?

Check out the dollar stores. It is an automotive product used to hold nuts and bolts. Works great!!!
Dollar stores carry them and they are much cheaper than Amazon. Here is what they look like. (Round ones)
