<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 3963216, member: 5833&quot;]I think I know the type of clasp you mean.&nbsp; You snap a tiny lever down to get another tiny lever to come up &amp; secure the pin.&nbsp; I have never seen a specific name for these, other than early safety clasp.&nbsp; The most similar looking one in the article Marie shared with us is illustration 13, which is dated ca. 1900.&nbsp; I think that one is more likely to be the simple (unreliable) version where pushing down the lever brings down the piece that holds the pin.&nbsp; A good way to capture the age is &#039;Edwardian&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
