<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 348920, member: 5833&quot;]Someone will have something sensible to say.&nbsp; What catches my eye is how blunt the tip of the pin stem is.&nbsp; (See cluttered has just made the same observation.) There may be a clue as to age in the way it has a spring instead of a conventional hinge, &amp; the spring &amp; pin stem are continuous.&nbsp; Inclined to think this is something more like a shawl pin, meant to hold gathered fabric rather than to go through it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cluttered suggests a barrette.&nbsp; Maybe, but think the other structural elements on the back would make it unsuitable for this purpose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
