Big-hat hatpins
Tremblors, Tremblers, Moving parts
Brass swivel bow ribbon hatpin
Hatpins on the Move. Adjustable ends.
Little brass swivel bow. Many hatpins cross categories - here is a dainty shaped ribbon shape, a single strip of metal for the head, and it is on a hinge. It will rest flat on top, or to the side like a lollipop. The rod is 5" long. Shorter rods could mean an older pin, before the big hats period; or, just a fastener for a small cap, or piece of lace for indoors. Or a later pin, when big hats went out of style. No idea on this one. A hinge expert could tell.
Other movable hatpins:
Bobbler bug moth or butterfly hatpin, with onyx
Here is a bobbler, a repeat from the bugs section, at Hatpins Collection Tour, Bugs.
Twin blue cloisonne hatpins
These have a tilt mechanism, as do a yellow pair we also have. These are also repeats of pins at another post. See them, and other adjustable-ends hatpins, at the cloisonne and enamel section at Hatpins Collection Tour, Cloisonne, Enamel. We are learning the difference between cloisonne, guilloche and enamel, and think these are just guilloche enamel because there are no metal dividers with various colors on these that would make them cloisonne. Is that so?
More on pins in general, including the kind with adjustable ends, see ://www.glitzqueen.com/hatpins.html.
Light blue and white guilloche. To be added here: we have a lovely round guilloche enamel that also looks cloisonne hatpin, white narrow outer ring, and a light blue crosshatched large center area, diameter about 7/8", rod length 8". Says sterling silver back. Look in the enamel or blue sections for it now.
