Late Victorian Whitby Jet Horseshoe Tie Pin feed-condition-used Somehow it is modernThis WhitbyJet Horseshoe featues the horse's frog (upside down heart shape under the shoe). It was crafted in Whitby, Yorkshire, where 19th century fossilised wood was discovered and later marketed to meet the needs of a grieving nation following the death of Prince Albert. It is a unique pin, with a fascinating history.
