<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 193658, member: 602"]Hi</p><p>Just found a big styrofoam box stuffed in a corner of a closet.....dug my way through and oh my.......one of the boxes inside has 11 unwashed but mostly UNstained antique hankerchiefs, and the other box has 14 very similar!!!! All are of varying sizes......I WILL GET PICTURES UP but after dinner.....have to get hubby out the door soon!!!! I also found 11 separate antique napkins I think are in great condition, and another bag (plastic) has an antique double damask 9' tablecloth with 12 matching napkins.....all beautifully fringed! Does ANY of this interest anyone!!!!! But before that, I will need to get the pictures up, and get some help on research!!!!! Thanks for your input!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: This is all from my Mother's collection of antiques and what she "saved"</p><p>on Block Island.....I was looking for a 'stash' of old receipts....of which there weren't many, sadly.....it's left me pretty 'hi and dry' in still trying to figure out the few things I still come across!!! I don't believe I have any relatives with a 9' table!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Have to edit again.....when I unfolded each handkerchief to photo, I saw that most of them DO HAVE age staining on them......I don't know if it's permanent or not, but what a disappointment to me!! Even the never used tablecloth set has it!!!! Are there pros that can save these things??? I haven't had chance to add the sizes yet on the hankies, but if anyone wants to know, ask me........and my count was off....one box had 6 and the other has 11 or 13.....I'm addled at this point.......</p><p><br /></p><p>And there are 3 hankies with some damage.......I know everything is not yet posted, and all of the stains aren't showing in the pictures.........more coming tomorrow.......I used up my space....HA HA!!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]54865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54866[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54867[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54868[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54871[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54873[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54874[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
