<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2271020, member: 13464&quot;]What a lovely box to find!&nbsp; Sounds like you may still have some of them!?&nbsp; Fun... well, here&#039;s what I can tell/see from the pics - some need to be more close up for a more definitive confirmation. </p><p>However, by the photo alone: All appear to be circa Turn-of-Century - give or take a few years.</p><p>#1: machine Valenciennes</p><p>#2: &quot;needle run&quot;... PROBABLY machine - would need close up</p><p>#3: Same opinion</p><p>#4: machine tape; hand assembled Battenburg/Battenberg</p><p>#5: probably machine Valenciennes - would need close up</p><p>#6: machine tape; hand assembled Princess tape lace</p><p>#7: most certainly machine</p><p>#8: &quot;needle run&quot;...probably machine - very pretty - would need close up</p><p>#9: machine tape; hand assembled Battenburg/Battenberg variation</p><p>#10: bobbin design; probably machine - would need close up</p><p><br /></p><p>A little clue for &quot;machine&quot; of this era is that the corners are either gathered or cut and mitred.&nbsp; Although that isn&#039;t ALWAYS true; it is often the case. In hand made pieces; the design &quot;usually&quot; turns the corner; rather than cut to fit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are these all from the &quot;Littlefield&quot; estate? She had a lovely eye for dainty!</p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
