<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 2346256, member: 30"]Could anyone please tell me about this fan? It was described as a "vintage reed hand fan with handle, handmade by native artisans, original owner" for about 70 bucks and another twenty to ship it. I wrote to the seller, but she's not the original owner, although she said her grandmother was, said it's 12" long, the fan is fairly rigid and has[ATTACH=full]260814[/ATTACH] been in her drawer for twenty years. Failed to mention where the "native artisans" were located. Seller shows only this one photo of it. I can't imagine paying 90 bucks for a utilitarian item that I plan to use out in the heat of the summer, but I might want to pay that if it's something really special? Cannot guess, please let me know if it is. I wonder what country is this from? I've not seen anything quite as detailed, would love to know how old it is, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
