<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 9268191, member: 5833&quot;]I have a brass gizmo that has that same barrette-like mechanism only, no pin.&nbsp; Think it was sold as being for hair, but my tentative conclusion is that it is meant to go through 2 top buttonholes on a high collared blouse.&nbsp; The part that is visible when worn is a hinged bit with a glass coral cabochon on top that forms a little vertical tube when closed.&nbsp; Due to small diameter, I conclude it is for lace.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>OBB&#039;s obviously stands alone, not meant as an accessory for anything else.&nbsp; Having trouble, though, imagining how you could use the prong part as I propose without jabbing yourself with the pin, even if you had a lady&#039;s maid to do it for you.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
