Question:
Hi
What do you call these sharp end things?
This is a Coro pin. One owl is signed on the back with a script Coro Craft. It's heavy, goldtone
It has a pin latch on the back but the two owls come out of the pin and have two very sharp pin/prongs.
I was thinking maybe so one could use them as shoe clips? But who would want to wear it as a pin with those sharp pins? I would thing they would stab a person.
Does this type of pin have a special name?
(I know one owl is missing some stones. Of course it's the one with the signature. I do have one stone that goes in the tail)
Answer:
Hi doobie - It's a Coro Duette (for the two figures that can be separated) fur clip. The sharp prongs are for holding on a fur.
Here are some more Coro Duettes.

Even missing the stones, it's probably worth some money!
Answer:
Thanks!
I just couldn't image someone wanting to wear it as a pin.

It's a great find, I'm jealous! Good luck with it, and I bet you can get those baguette stones replaced - if those are all that's missing, you might be able to fully restore it.
Answer:
I've had it for a few years.
I think I got it from the local second hand store or much of nothing.
