Thank you for viewing. This is a large brass safety pin (a vintage laundry pin). It's old, so it has some dirt (which looks good), but it's sturdy and solid. A long time ago, I bought it at an antique market held on the grounds of a temple. I didn't know what it was at the time, but I thought it was cool. I've kept it carefully, but I'm listing it to organize my belongings. For those who understand that it is an old item, thank you in advance.
