Description
This is a fancy antique late Victorian gold filled small Taille d Epargne pin for camisole, petticoat, lingerie, chemise or dress. Size is 7/8″ by 5/8″. The front is in gorgeous condition, bright and shiny like when it was originally made with a light age patina. The back has minor wear that could polish out. All gold is intact. As was common way back when, original owner’s family upgraded the Victorian c-clasp to an early locking class to make it more secure. You can tell it is an early locking clasp as the rod goes down into the center rather than like later clasps where the pin rod goes underneath and up into the clasp. Overall, this is a lovely pin for your antique clothing or jewelry collection.
