About MeOrnamental hair pin with hinged decoration in the shape of a fan above an inverted crescent. The hinge has come unscrewed from one side. The curved edges have fine regular vertical indentations - this appears to be an intentional machine finish. Taken from a works board, where it was numbered 56.S R Stewart & Co
