Set Of 33 Hat Pins - Various Shapes And Colors - 19th–20th Centuries

Set of 33 hat pins in various sizes, shapes, and materials from the late 19th to early 20th century.
They were originally intended to hold veils and small headdresses in place and became shorter in the 1840s.
Their golden age spanned from 1880 to 1910, coinciding with the fashion for voluminous hats and imposing buns. The pins sometimes reached lengths of 15 to 35 cm. They served as fashion accessories as much as they did as defensive weapons.
Between 1908 and 1913, some countries imposed length restrictions to prevent accidents.
These 33 pins come in various sizes and shapes. Shanks made of gilded or silver-plated iron; heads made of ceramic, glass, imitation pearls, celluloid, etc.
In good condition and show signs of use; see the photos for details.
