The condition is excellent. This pin has the original bezel set beveled
glass over the hair. The glasses in excellent condition with only a few minor
surface abrasions. The hair is a little loose in some places and there is a
little bit of dirt behind the glass, but this is minor. The clasp is a modern
replacement, but it is much more secure than the original. The enameling is
intact. There are no chips, no cracks, no splits, no breaks, and no repairs.
The pin measures 1 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches.
