    111.jpg 1.jpg 333.jpg Hi, new to this forum, hopefully the right place to post!
    I'm not even 100% sure this is a hair pin. It's really heavy for the small size that it is. No idea what material it is but it's bronze coloured, kind of silvery bits on the prongs. It definitely looks handmade as it isn't perfect or symmetrical.
    I'd love to know if it even is a hair pin & what age it is.
    Thank you in advance!

    seeing as how it looks no bigger than a pack o' matches......maybe bread fork was jumping the gun.,

    It is lovely, and looks antique. But it is top heavy, which means the prongs are too short for it to work as an ornamental hair comb.
