Vintage Set of Hatpins in a Cup Holder

Hatpins were functional and necessary many years ago when a Hat was worn for almost every occasion. The long pins were used to keep the Hat in place by sliding the pin thru the Hat and a section of the hair. They can be worn as a Hat Pin, or as a long stick pin on a coat, sweater, blazer or jacket. This item is vintage and does show some tarnish, which can be chemically removed if desired. Unmarked material, but appears to be silver plated pewter. Rather heavy weight for something that small. Fairly rare piece. Great for retro setting or as a decor or collector’s item. Thanks for looking 😊 CR10
