English gentlemen used it to hold their cravats in the early 1800s. By the 1870s Americans wore mass-produced stickpins shaped like animal heads, horseshoes and wishbones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose were all luck charms. A good luck tie tack with a ladybug belongs to the same habit. In the 1920s tie clips replaced the stickpin, but the tack never quite went away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFaberge and His Small Creatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaberge's firm made jeweled eggs and tiny animals for the Tsar.
