Lampwork and blown glass hatpin with a lot of intrigue. The top bead is likely blown and irregular in shape. It is separated by a silvertone plastic bead that has a bit of wear. The lower glass bead is traditional lampwork with the colored glass melted into the bead and the gold trailing fired over it. The final bead is also plastic made to look like silver. This vintage hatpin measures 6" long and needs a drop of glue or expoy to re-secure all the beads, as the original glue has weakened. I believe this hatpin to be from around the 60s.
