Hi,
I cannot find anything like this, but might be using wrong search words. Thought at first it was some type of hair piece, but the pin part would hurt! Searching stick pins got me nothing like this.
Any ideas? It measures 3-3/4" long with the actual pin being 2". Thanks for any help!
Hmmmm..that would be my guess on it..hairpin..knowing the hairstyles in days gone by..looks like the 'pin' part would slip into the bun (or however they had it up) allowing the rest to be seen. Course I could be totally wrong. 
Hat's a possibility, though I'm thinking more along the lines of jacket lapel.
I'm curious about the "Victorian" attribution, though. Don't know enough about Victorian construction techniques other than tube hinges and C clasps (which are both Not Applicable here), but the style gives me more of an Art Deco vibe.
I too think it is a hat pin. Think felt hats and worn like this:
I have had pins like that and I always thought hat pin. For safety I always put a clutch on the point 
Here`s some pretty hair ornaments with same type of sharp point..I can still see this being worn in an elaborate 'do'. Maybe it`s a dual purpose item

Check out the diamond star ornament from Christies!
I definitely like the idea of a hat ornament that would hold a feather (I think the terms are an aigrette that would hold a panache, but I got those out of a Phryne Fisher novel so take them with a grain of salt.
Thank you all for your input and links! Hair, Hat, Fur.....I will put all of those words in my description when I ever get around to listing.
