1911 - Back Collar Pins
These two pins are described in a 1911 jewelry catalog as "Back Collar Pins". I haven't been able to learn yet how they were used, but I thought it was at least helpful to put a name to this type of pin shape. These two pins were also listed on the "dainty inexpensive jewellery" page of the catalog - as opposed to the many pages of 14k and other fine jewelry. They sold for 25 cents and 75 cents. The pages also mentions that "all stones are doublets".
