Description
OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS VERY ATTRACTIVE CHARLES HORNER ANTIQUE HAT PIN WHICH IS FULLY HALLMARKED WITH THE LION PASSANT FOR STERLING SILVER, THE CHESTER CITY ASSAY MARK AND UNFORTUNATELY THE DATE LETTER IS PARTIALLY OBSCURED. THE HAT PIN IS FURTHER MARKED CH FOR CHARLES HORNER. I ESTIMATE THIS HAT PIN DATES CIRCA 1910 AND IT IS ILLUSTRATED ON PAGE 164 OF TOM J. LAWSON\'S BOOK "CHARLES HORNER OF HALIFAX".
THIS HAT PIN MEASURES APPROX. 19 CMS IN LENGTH AND THE HEAD IS MADE OF STERLING SILVER TWISTED STEMS WITH TWO GREEN ENAMELLED LEAVES AND A CENTRAL PEARL. THE DESIGN IS REPEATED ON BOTH SIDES.
SADLY THIS HAT PIN IS OFFERED WITH SOME DAMAGE. THE GREEN ENAMEL ON THE LEAVES HAS SOME WEAR AND THE TOP OF THE PEARL IS DAMAGED. THESE FLAWS ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE IN THE LISTING IMAGES WHICH ARE MUCH ENLARGED AND IN REALITY ALTHOUGH BY NO MEANS PERFECT THE DAMAGE DOES NOT LOOK SO BAD AND THE HAT PIN DISPLAYS VERY WELL. THE STEEL SHAFT IS STRAIGHT WITH SHARP POINT AND HAS NO TARNISH. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
