[QUOTE="Curioser, post: 4337100, member: 13823"]Yikes! I did it again! Wrote a long, grateful reply and lost it! Thanks to all for your input. It seems I would be safe in saying that I have two bangles of silver and bamboo, made in China circa 1920-1930 but sold by a Bombay merchant of "curios" or gifts who marketed to non-natives, or visitors? I have looked up the word memsahib and found it curious that it may apply to an upper class OR married white woman and is a term of respect used by non-whites. Funny that class or marital status could be the determinants in choosing that address. I appreciate all your contributions![/QUOTE]
