I cannot believe how stunning these are - your colelction must be magnificent!
Thanks Linda, I am rather partial to the old-fashioned lady pictures. Same with the swap card collection.
I received a needle book for Christmas. It says they were made be Brabant Needle Co., Redditch, England, and has a patent date of August 11, 1914 and # 1106773. What can you tell me about the needle collection?
