Lovely hats worn at rakish angles-surely 18th century ladies must have had hatpins to anchor them. Hatpins are a necessity in any kind of breeze. But what did an 18th century hatpin look like? To date, we don't know. Therefore the best hatpin is an unobtrusive one, as inconspicuous as possible. The problem is, modern hatpins are either too short, or too easily bent, to be of real service in securing a broad-brimmed straw hat. I have always preferred to use the real article, a plain-headed antique hatpin from the Edwardian era, early 20th century. Now I can offer some to you! Here is a small group of original Edwardian hatpins, in lengths 6" to 8" long, with black or white glass ball heads and sturdy steel shanks. The shanks show some patina consistent with their age, and some may be a bit bent. These were meant to hold real hats, and they will really hold yours. Please contact me to find out which lengths I have in stock, then buy them while you can, because these are hard to find!
