Advertising hatpins
Hope this link works-

They must have given them out as a promotional item, probably all kinds of products had them Hmmm. Victoriana never ceases to amaze me.
Wonder if Lizzie had one like it ;0)

Great site Kash.Kashesan @ Tue Oct 25, 2005 10:44 am wrote:I imagine Lizzie wearing the "Winged Griffon" hatpin.
That "Winged Griffon" hairpin is 13" long!!! She could have done some damage with that.
I like this antique advertising pin for the T.W. Garland, Ladies' Clothing Store, St. Louis, MO.:

You're welcome Diana-I couldn't take my eyes off them either!
Hysterical Harry-So very Lizzie!
Do you thing the Winged Griffons pin might have been the murder weapon??

Oooo, those are absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing the link with us, Kash! My one grandmother used to watch wrestling on TV way back when and there was a female character that showed up at the matches called Hatpin Mary. When the guy who she didn't want to win was near her she would jab him with her hatpin. Those things look pretty lethal to me, wonder how many actual murders were committed with them?

There's a song by the inimitable Elsa Lanchester (The Bride Of Frankenstien, yes-she released several albums of "Bawdy Cockney Songs-Total gems) called "Never Go Walking Out With Out Your Hatpin" Part of it goes,
"My Granny was a very shrewd old lady
The smartest woman that I ever met
She often said now listen to me Sadie
There's one thing that you ner must forget
Never go walking out without your hatpin
The Law wont let you carry more than that
And if you go walking out without your hatpin
You may lose your head as well as lose your hat"
The "head" a pun on 'maidenhead' as later in the song she tells us
"My mother set a very bad example
She never heeded Grandmama's advice
She found that when you give a man a sample
The sample somehow never does suffice
In fact its rumored I might not have been
If Mum had not gone out without her pin"
Its a great album. Elsa had such a unique voice!
Love Your Hatpin!

Great song, Kash, I love it! Does Elsa actually sing or more like talk/sing the words? She does have an incredibly unique voice, I still recall the I Love Lucy episode she was on, the suspected axe murderess! I did find a reference to Hatpin Mary on this site:

Hi Susan-No she actually sings! In this great range of voices, from giggly girlish like in the "hatpin" song, to deep and soulful ballads. It might be available at Amazon.com
Remember her as the crazy aunt in "Bell,Book, and Candle"??
She has an autobiography that I've read too.
thanks for the Hatpin Mary link-I LOVE that name!!

Ohmigawd yes, I had forgotten abut Bell, Book and Candle! Oh, I haven't seen that in forever, time to get to the video store! What was that comedy movie she was in with Truman Capote? Murder By Death? Where she plays the great Miss Jessica Marbles, such a fun movie.
Glad you like the Hatpin Mary link, wonder now if theres a pic floating around on the internet of her?

LOL. I think if she had used that 13" hairpin she would have went for the heart. It probably would have gone clear through and out the back. At least with Andrew.Kashesan @ Tue Oct 25, 2005 12:50 pm wrote:Hysterical Harry-So very Lizzie!

I know Harry-it wouldn't have worked with poor Abby...
Kat! I own a copy of 'Bell Book And Candle" I loved that movie! (God, Kim Novak was such a beauty!) And Pyewacket the cat-did you know that after filming was completed, Kim Novak was so attached to him that she took the cat home with her? And continued to call him Pyewacket?

Four degrees of separation: Lizzie Borden to Kim Novak
1. Hatpins, antique. An online collection of them, one of which is emblazoned with a hand holding a hatchet. Lizzie Borden may have handled a hatchet, and no doubt had a fine selection of hatpins from that era herself.
2. Elsa Lanchester. The actress once recorded a song entitled "Never Go Walking Out Without Your Hatpin.
3. The same Elsa Lanchester portrayed a witch in the movie "Bell, Book, And Candle"
4. Kim Novak. Also portrayed a witch in that movie.
