3) 1860s Coral branch pin $75.00. I bought this from Kay Gnagey for Shaker Village 4 years ago. Since it is an original I have been extremely reluctant to wear it anywhere and it deserves to be shown off on a pretty dress. I believe there is a picture on Kay's website right now of the pin. It is 1" long with two pieces of coral branch. A very nice, delicate piece of jewelry.
4) 1860s bone ring $15.00. I bought this from Glenna Jo Christen and it is rumored to have been found at Camp Chase. Fits a size 6 ring finger.
5) 1860s barege mourning veil and pins $50.00. I bought this from Linda Gray to use in my mourning impression. Veil measures 48" x 36" and has a 2" darker strip along the longer ends. There are several small pin holes, 3 larger holes (approx. 1/4") and one small area of discoloration.
6) 8 yards of a blue paisley 100% cotton fabric $15.00. Probably brought this fabric from Hobby Lobby or Wal-Mart so it's not printed on both sides. Still, a very nice piece of fabric for that crazy wrapper or nice day dress.
I accept personal checks, money orders and PayPal. Please email me at CandaceHRose@tds.net for more info.
