They're regular wooden clothespins with the metal spring removed, then the two pieces glued back to back. (Open yer eyes!)
Why do my comments initially appear, then disappear, then reappear? Does AT now screen comments?

Yeah, just learn to love your air conditioner, warts and all. (We call ours "Friedrich" as a term of endearment.)
