I just realized, I don't think I have ever shown you guys my grandmother's absolutely LETHAL Edwardian-era hatpin!

I inherited this from my grandma's jewelry collection. She was born in 1915 (married in the 1930s), so I would guess that she got this from an older woman in her family. As you can see, it is 9 inches or approximately 22 cm, and is EXTREMELY sharp. Handling this thing, you can really see why people were worried about women putting somebody's eye out with one of these!

At the risk of adding to your Sisyphean pile of asks, Mr Gaiman, what did Mrs Sandwich mean by her "I've got more than that, love" comment in episode 5? The tone of Crowley's response is not entirely clear to me either so I can't make inferences very well.

P.S. Loved the season, currently consuming every iteration and adaptation of good omens over and over.

Alas the previous conversation about her not being scared of the mob because she was armed with her hatpin was cut. So just assume it means that she has more than her hatpin (which is what Crowley has asked about).

The Illegal Weapon Every Woman Carried: The Hatpin's Criminal Legacy 📍

A hatpin was a woman's best friend. It kept her hat in place, protected her from bad guys, and also helped her fight for her basic human rights. But it wasn't fighting, suffragists, or crime that got the hat pin banned by governments, it was because of manspreading on public transport and carousels...??

Women in the early 1900s used hatpins to fend off sexual harassers on the streets. These pins were so effective that hatpins became symbols of female empowerment. Soon, legislation was proposed to curb these “accessories to assault.” Men would often come away with wounds that “were not serious, but very painful.”
