When was the first safety pin iveted?

The origin of the safety pin dates back to the Mycenaeans during the 14th century BC (Late Mycenaean III era). They are known as fibulae (singular fibula) and were used in the same manner as modern day safety pins. In fact, the very first fibulae of the 14th and 13th centuries B.C. looked remarkably like the safety pin. The origin of the fibulae is detailed in Chr. Blinkenberg's 1926 book Fibules grecques et orientales. The safety pin was reinvented and is usually credited to American inventor Walter Hunt, and patented in April, 1849. The rights to the invention were sold for $400.
