<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 562555, member: 84"]I found this in the same storage unit as the Bill Blass dress I asked about in the clothing forum. It is a Tiffany & Co. hair pin? (it measures 7" long which seems too long to be a stick pin, no?).</p><p>Can anyone tell the age from the box or the pin itself? I'm guessing 50's or 60's - by the look of the cotton padding in the box, as well as the box I found it in was full of 1940's & 1960's horse racing programs! (I also learned it had belonged to a lady named Gypsy Graves, who owned some race horses & later became president of Ft Lauderdale Collage's Archaeology Dept.!)</p><p>It has some writing on the side but I've taken a dozen photos & can't get a clear one; sorry.</p><p>Looking Tiffany stick pins up on eBay - they are expensive!
