Not sure if there were any additional uses, but I do know of one such use for a black washed straight pin. I found a box of them in an antique store marked mourning pins. The cost of them prevented me from buying them. In the 19th century when one was in the deepest stage of mourning the person was expected to dress in black. Silver pins would reflect the light. Black washed pins were used to attach veils and mourning ribbons without reflection. In other ways if one was wearing a deep colored bonnet or dress and needed a pin, black was able to blend in better than brass or steel. Hope this helped.
