    Hi all.

    I got these two handkerchiefs in a big bag of clothing today.

    I found them quite interesting, especially the Wuxi Tourism boat one.

    I googled but could not find a similar item yet.

    Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas as to trying to put a date on it? Would these have been given to people working for the company or as souvenirs to tourists?

    Ps. Any info on the other hanky would of course be appreciated as well.

    Thanks in advance!

    I've seen similar tourist items from China, but never known when they were made either.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I like the "sketch book" hankie. But have no information for you on these.
