Stick Pin Fan

The purpose of this interesting little object was to keep people's Stick Pins and other pins from becoming unruly in their drawers. One of these fans consists of two pieces of thin cardboard laminated to thin pads of crepe paper which is sandwiched in between. The size is 3/4" x 1-3/4", and each one will acommadte up to 12 pins. They were made prior to 1900, and a few them would add interest to a stick pin or other ornamental pin collection.
