Vintage Elephant Chain Tie Pin or Clip

The image shows a gold-toned tie pin featuring an elephant design. Tie pins are decorative accessories used to secure a tie to a shirt. They gained popularity in the early 19th century and were commonly worn by English gentlemen to keep their cravats in place. The pin is composed of a decorative elephant connected by a chain to a clasp mechanism. The clasp is designed to fasten the tie pin to the fabric, ensuring the tie stays neatly positioned. The elephant motif adds a touch of personality and can be a symbol of good luck or memory.
