[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 1180203, member: 8184"]I think you have a mix of hankies (first picture) and table linens (most/all second picture). In the first pic, I believe the ones I've circled [LIST=1] [*]in green are machine embroidered (easiest to see looking at the back - odds are you'll see white thread where there is no white in the embroidered pattern) [*]in yellow, may be hand embroidered or a combination of machine and hand. [*]in red, can't see well enough to guess. [/LIST] A search on ebay sold "vintage embroidered hanky" should tell you what they're going for these days. Last I knew, unless absolutely spectacular (or unusual subject matter), they were being sold off in inexpensive lots and hand/machine meant little to value. Haven't checked that in years, though, so do check. [ATTACH=full]213254[/ATTACH] As I've numbered below: [LIST=1] [*]"Southern Belle" was once a "silly money" category. No clue if it still is, but as I believe this is a table napkin rather than hanky, having only one is an issue. True for all that I think are table linens. [*]Think this later than the other printed pieces. That's all I have on it. [*]Almost certainly a table napkin by Wilendur. [*]Probably a table napkin by Wilendur, AmericanCraft, or one of several such companies. [*]Don't recognize this one. Is it printed or applique or? [*]Can't see well enough to judge. [*]Can't see well enough to judge. [/LIST] [ATTACH=full]213256[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
