About the Item

A necessity during the Victorian Era, hat pins not only balanced precarious hats atop piles of hair but also moonlighted as weapons against overzealous gentlemen.

This extraordinary example features an impressive 1” amber glass cabochon finial atop a molded Moorish silver base to create an accessory worthy of standing on its own. 8 ½” hat pin with silver stem; giant 1” amber glass cabochon finial atop figured Moorish silver base. material: silver, amber glass noteworthy: gently clean with damp cloth repairs: none condition: very good with light tarnish on stem measurements: length: 7 ¾” (stem), ¾” (finial) finial diameter: 1” signature: no signature present
