VINTAGE MOTHER GOOSE BARRETTES

Vintage plastic barrettes still on original paper card. The packaging reads Mother Goose barrettes.
From the nursery rhyme called Ride a Cock Horse: 

Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady ride a white horse.
With rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.
