Product Details

✨ Rare Turn-of-the-Century Antique ✨ Up for grabs is an authentic Edwardian-era veil pin (also known as a double-pronged hatpin or automobile veil pin) dating exactly to the early 1900s. When early automobiles came around, women wore these specialized double pins to secure their elaborate chiffon veils and hats against the wind! Design: Dual parallel gold-filled bars featuring a beautiful roped/swirled terminal end set with a bright clear paste rhinestone. Mechanics: Fully functional! The decorative end acts as a secure, removable clutch cap that slides off so you can push the pins through fabric and lock them back into place. Hallmark: Clearly stamped "PAT. JAN. 20. 03" (January 20, 1903) right on the back.
