Vintage Oval Enamelled Cravat Pin with Coat of Arms 
 
A tie pin (or tiepin, also known as a stick pin/stickpin) is a neckwear-controlling device, originally worn by wealthy English gentlemen to secure the folds of their cravats. They were first popularized at the beginning of the 19th century. Cravats were made of silk, satin, lace and lightly starched cambric, lawn and muslin, and stickpins were necessary accoutrements to keep these expensive fabrics in place and safe. 
 
The Tie Pin will come on a Rock Follies Premium Collection Vintage Card and will be packed in a Rock Follies Vintage Box
