Item History & Price

Store Display Hanging Hatpin Holder
Lady Holding A Fishing Pole
My Lady's Hat Pins
This came from a local estate. The back story is that it was gifted to a relative pre-1920 by her Uncle who ran a small town mercantile store. "Ruth, from Aunt Velma, Uncle Walter" is inscribed on the back as seen.
Great illustration shows a Victorian Lady holding a fishing pole with a creel on a shoulder strap at her side..
It measures 6.5" x ...13.75" and the holder tube is 8" long. It appears to be some kind of press board and covered with wood grained paper. Some corner and small scuff damage as seen. Considering it was a "throw away" ad/display, it's in remarkably good condition.
All we did to it is carefully wipe it off with a slightly dampened soft cloth. I have never seen another like it and find no reference to the existence of such a piece anywhere on the internet.
We will include the single glass bead (chipped) hatpin that came with it.
