    Description

    This is a rare and beautiful Vauxhall glass hair ornament is from GEORGIAN Victorian era.... The metal is brass. The insect is mounted on a spring so that it moves like a nodder or a trembler as they used to call them. It has tiny red glass eyes. The top is mounted onto a U shaped pin which is tapered at both ends. The total length is 5 3/4 inches. The nodder spring is 3/4" long. It is hard to photograph the reflective glass. The glass is all silver coloured, no discoloured spots. I think this would look wonderful tucked into a bridal bouquet or worn in the hair or on a hat. Many uses!! I am listing another butterfly hair ornament so check that out as well! Please feel free to ask questions.
    This is the second of two gorgeous Georgian Vauxhall glass nodder trembler hair pins that I am listing .....These are a RARE find....especially in pristine condition!!!!  LAST PICTURE SHOWS PICS.  of similar hairpins or hair tremblers that are from the book:
