<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1472078, member: 13464"]The cap is what is known as Irish crochet; yes handmade. Probably, 1880 - 1900. Irish crochet has those cute little dimensional raised petals and "tulip" shapes or leaves. If I knew how to add photos - I would; that document Irish crochet - but you should be able to google it. Darling little cap. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the collar; I am quite certain that it is completely machine made. Probably circa 1920-30. It has the look of a piece that may be composite; made of several machine made pieces which are machine stitched together. Very pretty really.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps! </p><p>Sincerely, Leslie at the Northern Lights Lodge[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
