White Plated Hat Pin, 6", with Head (each)

Technically, this is not a new item. It's an item we've carried for years, but it's now available by the "each". To avoid confusion, we've given it a new Item Number (SKU).

Hat pins aren't just for decorating hats -- in previous generations, when more women had long hair and elaborate hats, hat pins were pinned into the hair-dos underneath the hat, to help hold the heavy hats properly into place. And of course, the better-known fact: women often kept their hat pins quite sharp, in case they were needed for stabbing the hands of "handsy gentlemen".

Many of our base-metal beads fit perfectly on our hat pins. However, to fit pearls on to them, you will need to use a bead reamer to enlarge the pearl hole.
