Antique Silver Thistle Hat Pin Acorn Cap Purple Glass English Hallmarks 1912 P&T

Description: Attractive Edwardian hat pin dated 1912, with a rare acorn pin protector to the end, which fits snugly and grips well. One side has full UK silver hallmarks and a maker's mark. Hallmark reads 'ANCHOR LION n' and means Birmingham England 1912. Makers mark is P&T for Pearce & Thompson of Vyse Street in Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter, an area which still makes jewellery today. The purple stone is intended to resemble amethyst but tests as glass. Note that only the top part of the hat pin is silver, the pin and the acorn are base metals. The very tip of the pin appears to have been ground down, so the tip is blunt not pointed, but it will still pierce fabric. I have occasionally come across these acorn pin protectors, I believe they may have been sold separately in response to the furore about dangerous hat pin points circa 1909 (when UK laws came in restricting the length of hat pins to under 9 inches). It is possibly why the point of this one has been ground down, too. SIZE APPROX:Total length 12 cm / 4 3/4 in (with the acorn on; fractionally less without it)Acorn length 1.8 cm / 3/4 inSee with hand or ruler for scale. CONDITION:Antique condition with some rust marks to pin, and age-related surface wear as pictured. The very tip of the pin appears to have been ground down, so the tip is blunt not pointed, but it will still pierce fabric. See photos for full details. -----UK POSTAGE: Within the UK I offer combined shipping, and refund excess postage on items sent together.
