<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 550284, member: 2844&quot;]In a kilt pin is the front of the pin is also long. A fur clip has two prongs.</p><p>I think the long pin is simply due to its age, before ca 1870 pins could be very long, because the ends were pinned back into the clothing for security, in case the pin slipped out of the C-clasp. They gradually got shorter. When security clasps were invented, they could be a nice brooch length.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
