[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 11306339, member: 5833"]Thanks for the additional photos & info. I'm on board with the assessment of age. Not all watch pins were meant for/used by nurses. A lady could have a watch worn on a long chain that she kept safely pinned out of the way (and on display) except for the times she wanted to consult it. There is always the possibility that someone who did not want to use the hook for anything squeezed it nearly shut to minimize snagging on things. It's a beautiful, solidly made piece.[/QUOTE]
