Antique, Edwardian gold tone finish lace, beauty, baby, or lingerie pin, with wired on pastel pink, blue, and green glass flowers, measuring one and three eighths of an inch long including the flower protrusions a but longer than standard beauty pins of the period. Beauty or lace or lingerie pins became popular as the heavy clothing and materials of the Victorian era gave way to the light weight and filmy fabrics and laces and ribbons of the Edwardian era, and lightweight jewelry was needed, as well as tiny decorative pins to pin down the laces, veiling, and layers of Edwardian outfits. Popularly used even today to fasten fine hand sewn baby dresses and bibs, which are and were usually made without buttons and button holes, and are instead pinned. It is in in very good condition, no issues The photos show residue of packed dust in the crevices, even after two goes at cleaning, but I have since cleaned it more thoroughly.
