Questions & Comments
Does this have some kind of catch (how does it stay on)?
it does not have a catch.it is classified as a hat pic...the end of it is sharp.My grandmother would put her hat on and position as she wanted it to stay.Then she would feed the pin in the hat and under her hair and back out the other side of the hat. For details on its use please see http://www.vixen-vintage.com/2012/02/how-to-wear-hatpin.html
Thanks for the information! It seems kind of dangerous for the point to be sticking out of the hat, but they probably didn't give it a second thought back then. LOL!
its not really dangerous because even though it is a point it is a blunt enough tip you wont be stabbed.And you can sometimes find on ebay where they sell hat pin tip covers
