Just won this on e-Bay. Only feathered kilt pin I have seen. Anyone know any history or antedotes concerning this kind of pin?

I think that's a wonderful kilt pin, first feathered kilt pin I've seen.
And it came with a quarter!!!

A beauty. My desk cat, Talbot says what a wonderful cat toy!

Love it! Somewhat in the same family as the fly kilt pin featured a while back, but more towards the jewelry end of the spectrum.

A lot of the time those used to be called 'Mitzpah' or 'Luck' pins. Very, very nice.
It's a beauty!
Nice pin. Unusual. It got me thinking though. Anyone know what the pin Queen Victoria pinned to the young soldier's kilt actually looked like?
Very nice find.
