PLEASE READ! You are buying as is! Please ask any questions before bidding. I am not a dealer or a shop owner just downsizing in retirement. I found this in some of my grandmothers things after she passed and I received some of her things. She lived to be almost 100 years old. she missed it by two months. So I’m trying to say I don’t know how old this is, I wish I did. It looks to me as if it was something that a girl might’ve worn on her dress or coat on a fancy date; and live flowers which would’ve been given to the girl by her date were stuck down in the tube which was handmade of silk ribbon. The condition is poor to say the least but it will still hang. It is ruffled down each side and stitched tightly to fit the tube. The top is made with a ribbon bow at the top of the tube and an extension which is made to hang on the wall or on the garment I do not know. This is just my guess but it was important enough that my grandmother kept it through her whole life Until she passed in 2018. Alas I find myself in her shoes when I have to get rid of things too. If you should win this auction please pay within three days and thanks so very much for reading! Thanks to a wonderful fellow eBay person I now know that this is a hat pin holder thanks again!
