Ask a question

According to my mother, this slide type barrette with its "twinned" sides was intended for the hairstyle popular in the very late 60's and early 70's, where the hair would be gathered high onto the crown with a slightly bouffant effect and pinned into place on either side, then being allowed to cascade down. These work better for fairly fine hair, although the general style was popular for pretty much all hair types, particularly among more conservative teenagers and young women. About 2 1/2" long, good vintage condition, but there is some wear on the back. B94

And we have anoter, flat bow design in slightly worn goldtone,also 2 1/2" B100

Apparently this general configuration was also sometimes used for collars, althouth the bow was likely exclusively a barrette.
