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...
