[QUOTE="Sandra, post: 193976, member: 3335"]Thanks for sharing these photos of your lovely family treasures. The top 2 hankies are of trousseau quality. As to laundering, I hesitate to advise, but I will say that you will want to remove the label on the tablecloth and preserve it in a plastic sleeve. After the stains are treated, you will need to launder the linens and you can expect the fringe to tangle. I usually dry the item completely, then work on untangling the fringe, I usually gently pick at it with a needle. After that, I would dampen the linen and iron while wet. The tablecloth is actually a size that would comfortably fit on 6ft table, allowing for overhang. As to pricing these items, prices vary considerably depending on location. I am in the northeast and in my area I would expect to sell a clean, unused tablecloth this size with 12 matching napkins in the $75 - 85 range.[/QUOTE]
