It doesn't happen a lot, but every once in a while I'll find antique hat pins among estate items I've purchased. Often, they are buried amongst other small items that have been pushed aside or tossed into an old tin. Of course, you don't see nearly as many people even wearing hats for fashion nowadays, let alone hat pins.
There is definitely a contingent of collectors though who clamor for antique hat pins. They are an elegant finishing touch for those who wear them and an interesting little item just to collect. Antique hat pins make me think of standing in my Grandmother's bedroom and looking at all of her "stuff" that she'd had seemingly forever. Those days are long gone for me, but I suppose it is feelings like those that drive some to grab these beautiful little pieces of fashion history.
