| Hatpins reached a peak of popularity between the 1880s and 1920s as prominent ladies as well as stage and silent-movie screen actresses fueled the popularity of large elaborate hats without bonnet strings. Having originated in the 1850s to secure straw hats, hatpins became longer and more ornate over time. 1910 saw the height of hatpin length, with the stems alone reaching 10 to 12 inches.
