Details
Description:
A nice lot consisting of four lingerie pins. The lot has a sterling silver pin with diamond like faceted stones set along the top of the pin. The second pin is golden in color with an open design and a small facetted brown yellow stone (citrine?) in the center. This pin is marked GLP suggesting that it maybe gold plated. The third pin is an elongated oval shaped golden pin with a raised floral design and a large hexagonal yellow stone (again citrine?) in its center. The fourth and last pin is most likely made of thick elongated polymer material with a layer of what maybe celluloid that is hand painted with a floral design in very much an oriental style. All four pins are most likely from the early 1900s and are all very nice and stylish. A great set to add to your collection. Please carefully review the photos as they are part and parcel of our description.
Date:
Uncertain, but most likely sometime in early 1920s-1940s.
Origin:
Purchased at an estate sale in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Size:
The pieces are ~2" long for the sterling pin, ~1 7/8" long for the gold plated, ~2 1/2" for the golden pin with large stone, and ~3" for the Asian style pin.
Maker:
Unknown.
Marks:
One pin is marked sterling and another is marked GLP, while the other two are unmarked.
Condition:
All four pins are intact with no losses, breaks or repairs. All pins have lost the tensions in the back pin thus they do not close strongly or very well except for the sterling pin. The gold plated pin appears to have lost some of the platting on the back and shows some pitting only on the back. The pins have some scratches and some soiling. However, the stones are all there and intact with no observable chips. All in all inn very good condition given their age and utilitarian function. Please see photos for additional condition information.
