<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 218129, member: 2844&quot;]The ostrich one is some sort of plastic. Did you notice the number 1014 just below the molded floral decoration of the guard stick? Probably a theatre prop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the fans in your collection are souvenir fans. Because they fold, they fit in a suitcase or handbag, so they are nice memento&#039;s of her travels.</p><p>The ones with the broad lace trim are typically southern European.</p><p>The little wooden one is sandalwood, Chinese. In Indonesia they sprinkle water on these so they get the sandalwood scent every time they fan themselves. Nice in hot weather, but it stains the wood.</p><p>The one with the landscape against a black background and bamboo frame is Indonesian.</p><p>The lace ones could have been bought anwhere. Machine lace, not in a rounded fan shape, so not antique. Just pretty.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, I should have explained the position of the closed fan better. Below is a picture of the view that is best for telling Chinese from Japanese. If you could photograph yours like the central one?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]64497[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
