This extraordinary example features a Moorish brass teardrop atop an extra long stem to create a collectible worthy of standing on its own. 11 ¾” hat pin with brass stem; Moorish textured brass teardrop finial. material: brass metal noteworthy: gently clean with damp cloth repairs: none condition: very good with moderate tarnish on stem measurements: length: 10” (stem), 1” (finial) finial diameter: ½” signature: no signature present
