I've had these two little sewing tools for awhile. They were in the same little envelope, when I got them out of my grandmothers basement. Correct...
Hard to see in picture but in the bottom left of the postcard, someone has written in pencil, Bethel. Must have been the post office or something,...
Had these for awhile. My mother received the larger of the two, for a wedding gift in the fifties. Birds feel painted on. Not too sure about the...

Couldn't open the link, but I think this one would be too young since the postcard was marked 1880. Appreciate the effort though.

The monogram is my grandmothers. I received it as part of her estate. It will probably end up with one of my daughters, or may sell eventually if...
Thank you for that. Guess I didn't look hard enough.
You mean the first world war, I'm sure. I also like the way you guys can identify the styles of her hair and clothes from an old pencil drawing.
Found these various things when my wife and I were going through some old books we have. I think people were using them for book marks. The...
Have had this hanging in a hallway (believe it or not) for the last twenty something years. Belonged to one of my grandmothers who didn't hang it....
Never would have guessed. Did you wear it around your neck?
