Very well made.Really a gorgeous hatpin, that has survived over 120 years. Dates from late 1800's to 1905.
CONDITION:Very little, to no wear, even to the edges of the gold gilt background, No damage, only normal wear you would expect from use and age of the item, and storage conditions also apply. No bends or breaks, no chips, cracks, and no other problems. No repairs, no solder, no glue, Stem is what I consider straight, and very sharply pointed. Hatpin shows normal, age related wear that you would expect for a hatpin 120+ years old. Stems might have some tarnish, discoloring, rust, or mild corrosion, that should be expected, and can be cleaned off with steel wool if desired. Really lovey on display. SIZE: (measurements are within 1/8")Top measures: 1 1/8" across. Total length, including top is: 8 1/2" long.
NOTE:I use recycled packing materials, so if you have any allergies that tissue paper or bubbles or other packing material will bother you, let me know ahead, as I will have to buy new tissue and boxes, just for you, and it raises your shipping cost. I believe in recycling, best for our enviornment, and since the items do not absorb any odors, the packing might smell old, stale, have a pet hair, etc. In whatever way the packing came to me, I re-use everything I can in sending your item to you. It does save alot in packaging costs.
