    These 4 stickpins are from my grandparents' estate. I am not sure what they were used for and would like to find out. The pin is very long, about 3 - 4 inches. Tie clip? Scarf holder? I would like to know how it was worn and when they were popular. Thank you.

      I believe the longer ones are hat pins.

      Thank you. That makes sense. I forgot that hats were so important back then and she is wearing hats in almost all of the pictures I have of her.
