The December 1999 International Carnival Glass Association Club Newsletter related a story written by Richard Cinclair about some hatpins he located through a contact in New England. In going to visit the antique dealer who had the collection for sale, Richard discovered 54 of some estimated 20,000 hatpins which were iridized. None had the shafts attached, but were nicely displayed in some 15 shallow cabinet drawers. Each hatpin had been given an inventory number, as they lay in their individually provided portion of white matting within the respective drawers. No duplicates were found but there were several of the same pattern in various colors.
Although Alphonse Tvaryanas and Jerry Reynolds had each written books on the subject of hatpins, neither had listed all of the variety in patterns which Richard discovered. Research and updated written material always improves knowledge.
One drawer contained a letterhead from Albert Lorsch & Co., Inc., New York, Providence, Paris, and Gablonz. A note of interest is the fact that Gablonz is a part of the former Czechoslovakia. This information may point directly to the nation of origin for hatpins.
Richard further states that some half dozen hatpins in the large inventory carried the Germanic word Geschutzt, which in English would interpret “patented”, or “protected”. Geschutzt was stamped on the underside of those few hatpins.
The Horned Owl and Scarab Shell pins shown in this segment are among the most rare and sought after hatpins.

10 Reasons To Believe In The Bible
01. Its Honesty - It is painfully honest.
02. Its Preservation - God has preserved His Word from error
03. Its Claims For Itself - If the authors of Scripture had not claimed to speak for God, it would be presumptuous for us to make that claim for them.
04. Its Miracles - If the Red Sea did not part as Moses said it did, the Old Testament Loses its authority to speak in behalf of God.
05. Its Unity - Forty different authors over a period of 1,600 years penned the 66 books of The Bible. Yet, the 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 of the New Testament tell One unfolding story of God's plan of redemption.
06. Its Historical And Geographical Accuracy. - Modern archaeologists have repeatedly unearthed evidence of the people, places, and cultures described in the Scriptures.
07. Its Endorsement By Christ - Christ endorsed the Bible not only by His words but by His life.
08. Its Prophetic Accuracy - From the days of Moses, the Bible predicted events no one wanted to believe.
09. Its Survival - The Bible has been in existence for 2,000 years.
10. Its Power To Change Lives - History is marked by those who claim to believe in the Bible and have been changed and bettered by it. The Ten Commandments are a source of moral direction to countless numbers of people.
