I bout some, some 20 years ago probably from an Electronics distributer called Priority 1 Electronics. I don't think they are around anymore. They could have been made by Vector Electronics.
They were just as you said. Came in strips of about 10-20 and the broke off easily. Like small tacks. One on top of the other.

I wonder if they could make via-pins? Just a simple pre-cut wire with
a flange on one end, designed to press-fit into a 13.5 mil hole and be
soldered on both sides.
I suppose it would be easy enough to buy 13.5 mil wire (or slightly
larger?), and cut it to length with some shearing action that left a
bend on the top...
