First, hairpins! They appear to be made of a sort of plastic, but they vary a good deal in color and pattern, which I am not used to plastic tortiseshell pieces doing.
The box, labeled "Imperial", isn't much help either. I have no idea how old they are but thought them fascinating.

Second, a length of black bauble trim! It's fun to hold, as the cord is silky and the baubles, which are shaped like tiny short cylinders, bang around in a satisfying way. Again, no idea how old this is.

I love the hairpins. We have found many of them around the house... I actually found a group of them behind the wall in the kitchen when we were rennovating...Remind me to share a good ghost story with you sometime that goes along with that discovery...
I love the bauble trim as well...Wonderful find...
Dear Rebecca,
Really, have you? How neat, and how, well, creepy. Anything having to do with hair always sends chills down my spine; I don't know why.
Any chance that you'd write up the ghost story on your blog?
Hugs,
Natalie
