That sewing machine hat pin is just too cute! I can't afford it right now, darn it!

I have a collection of sewing machine stuff - ornaments, music boxes, etc.

Okay, I am going to play devil's advocate here. I do not believe these are all Vintage Hatpins, I think they are vintage pieces turned into hat pins. If you look at the findings holding the top to the pin itself, they look modern to me. Also they are mostly the same length and the same metal. I still like them and have one I would like to buy, and at $19 it is an okay buy. The seller has some very expensive hat pins that are more than likely "real". Any other thoughts on this? I just wanted you to be "Buyer Beware" and not be disappointed.

I agree... They are all very intresting pins but I dont think all of the are antique some are some not. As to prices well, it really depends on what you think a certain thing is worth to you! Me I cant see a 47.00 hat pin for myself, when a plain one works just as well...even if they are really cool!
