Pin
I have redently found this pin in a collection of a relative's jewelry and would love to know what it is and if it has some funcitn or is merely decorative. I have enclosed two imanges of it.
AnswerHello Dorothy and thank you for your inquiry. Your item looksk to me like a Victorian toothpick. They were often elaborate with tiny blades and worn as a lapel or dress pin or sometimes in charm form. You might find out more about these in a book of Victorian accessories and notions. Amazon.com carries a good selection of books and your library may be an excellent source. Hope this helps !
