I don't believe anyone wears old hats that these would fit on anymore :) I would guess they would go back at least a hundred years or close to that era, what do you think?

You are correct...they Victorian or earlier...lovely!
I believe you are correct. I recall my great grandmother wearing one to church and when I laughed she would aim the pointed at me with a "you better be good" look in her eyes.

I am not sure what prompted your reply and I could care less. If my being in agreement with you was offensive, next time I will try harder to disagree. I only read and write English so we may have a communications problem.
Hatpins done in the style and length as yours come from Victorian-era/Edwardian-era or specifically from the 1880-1925 time period. I could pinpoint them further to the 1890s-1920 era. Most antique hatpins are just collected rather than worn these days though I have been known to use some in my annual Kentucky Derby hat or when dressing in costume for a hatpin Collector'c convention. If you want to know more about antique hatpins, read the interview with Jodie Lenocker (link available on this page).
