Scottish hallmarked kilt pin crafted in sterling silver. A very large and incredibly lovely safety pin. This piece would have be designed as a kilt pin and is a nice, hefty sturdy piece designed to hold and secure layers of fabric. I use mine as a brooch on my winter coat and it comes in handy for securing a chunky knitted scarf or shawl. This particular example has Scottish hallmarks and is a fine piece dating to the 1930s.
