It was a long time since my last hatpin buy...
It is 21.5cm long.
The head diameter is 2.3cm.
Reverse enameled, the mark under the enamel is impossible to photograph clearly, G V & Co, Birmingham marks for 1910.
A good clean and little kyratisation on the worn enamel part, et voilà!
:-)))

And a lovely job you did, too!
Ha Bonnie, you are quick!
Thank you for the compliment :-))
I'm waiting for a fantastic hair pic with large domed plique a jour wings... some repair to do on one cell... don't know yet what is the metal...
Oh how beautiful ! Do you have a hat pin display ? xo
Hi Mani! I don't have specific hatpin holders, I display my pins in any convenient cup or container, filled with molding clay.
Thank you for your visit, interest and love! XOXO
Beautiful! :)
Very pretty one!!
Wonderful colour Pascale!!! Love the really long hatpins......
Luminous blue!
It's beautiful. And so long! How does it work? I don't know much about hatpins, can't wait to see you modeling it!?
Sweet ,.. nice job, I myself haven't come across any for a while .. '-(
Enameled_Beetle, very glad you love it, thank you :-)
Mrstyndall, I have to agree ;-) thank you!
Judy, I wondered if there was any pun in your comment... I'll say I love all sizes ;-)))
Thank you for your lovely visit!
Karen, so true! These Arts and Crafts enamels are so appealing, with the blue and green mixed colors. Thank you!
Bijou, coucou! Hatpins size is related to the hat size, depending on the fashion at that time.
Big hats ---> long stem, the hat pin had for function to hold the hat, pinned through the hair. In art deco era, hai was short cut and hatpins became only decoration with short stems.
I won't model it... short hair! I put brooches on my hat if I wear one :-)
Choucoucou! :-) Thank you Pascale, that's so interesting, as usual! Learning a lot here, and always with so much beauty!
Hello Pascale as Always a very good find and thanks to the karatysation it becomes a beautiful jewel again
Bijou, merci beaucoup :-))
Marga, so kind of you! I don't know what I prefer... hunting for pieces... Kyratising them... Or sharing here ! :-)
Thank you!
Many thanks to all of you, 33 sweet CW friends who loved the kyratised hatpin :-)
