Today’s Tiny Tuesday will inspire you to try some new hair styles!

These tiny metal hair pins date to the third quarter of the 19th century.

The original pasteboard box features a detailed chromolithograph of a stylish young woman, sure to catch the eye of any potential buyers!

Though marketed as “London Hair Pins,” the manufacturer is unknown and pins such as these could be purchased in all sorts of shops.

Hair pins came in a variety of shapes, styles, and materials. Some were adorned with colorful ornaments, though all served to keep a lady’s hair style intact! Those these pins may be plain in design, it is incredibly rare to find the pins and the original box relatively unscathed!
