Summary
During the early 19th century, stickpins were a popular accessory worn by men as a tie or cravat pin. They came in a variety of precious materials and motifs. So as not to appear feminine, they frequently represented hunting, sporting, or other typically male pursuits. They were also crafted as mourning, commemorative, or souvenir pins. Animals were particularly popular.
A stick pin is a type of pin used as a piece of jewelry or accessory. It consists of a long, thin pin with a decorative head on one end and a sharp point on the other. Stick pins are typically worn on clothing, such as a lapel or collar, and are often used to secure a tie in place. They were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and are still occasionally worn today as a vintage or retro accessory.
