For your consideration is this Super Electric Blue Carnival Glass Scarab Shell Glass Hatpin Edge Flakes.


Very nice color on this hatpin, this is iridized. The hatpin is not signed. It is in good condition with no cracks, has a few edge chips, and edge roughness from the manufacturing process, see photos. It measures 1 3/4 inches wide,  1 3/8 inches tall, and the pin measures 8 1/4 inches long. The pin is glued into the top and not original. 


These hatpins were most likely made in Czechoslovakia, they were imported during the Carnival Glass era. When hatpins were imported the tops and pins were not assembled together. They would have faced a larger import duty if they were assembled already. So they were assembled in the states. Thats why you find tops without pins. The pins were probably scrapped years ago and someone replaced them with steel rods. The manufacturing process for these would have been that they were pressed and snapped out of a mold that made more than one. The sides were ground to remove the extra glass then they were sprayed with metalic salt if they iridized them. Thats why sometimes they have flakes from the grinding process. Other pins were hand painted. See photos.
