Victorian Rubber? And Jet Hair Pin

Many Victorian Hair ornaments are made from a wide variety of materials - gutta percha, aluminum, horn, bone, silver, gold, tortoiseshell, celluloid, ivory. And here we have what certainly seems to be hard black rubber. This long hair pin is comprised of 2 round teeth or sticks with a connecting bar, 2 cut jet balls finials and 3 jet cabochons on the bar. The finials screw on. I suspect that the dull nature of the surface lent this piece to mourning wear.

Condition: Excellent.

Size: 7" tall
