Pair of Edwardian Silver Pig Pin Cushions poissarde earrings Alluring antique puffed heart pendantDATE: Edwardian, 1905 A pair of antique sterling silver pin cushions in the form of (as my three year old would put it) piggy porkers. They're really quite charming, one with maker's mark CS*FS Cornelius Saunders & Frank Shepherd and both featuring English hallmarks with date letter indicating they were made in 1905. Weird? Yes. Useful? Depends what you're in to they'd make great paperweights if you don't have a bunch of pins lying around.
