<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4267972, member: 1476"]I would think it was a little gift handkerchief presented in a Christmas card. Not an uncommon gift in the 1950s. And a Chinese import, as it says. I would call it cutwork and embroidery. I'd assume it to be hand done but can't tell from photographs. (One has to compare the work on the front with the finish on the back.) I don't believe these have any great value individually -- there are a lot of them around. A Google Images search will bring up many examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
