    Anyone know about older tassels? Looking at the caps and loops (especially the larger one), I thought they were pretty special? Era? Any info? These are cotton and darkened from age.

    The larger one measures 1-1/4"W (cap) x 4-7/8"L, with additional 3" FOLDED loop.

    They look home made. Would you post a photograph of the entire tassels please?

    Thank you. Given crocheted tops, those could well be home made. From a pattern.

    So there's no way of telling how old?

    Not really (unless you can find the pattern.) First half of 20th century I'd think. A time when many women were still doing handwork.
