H105
Offering a fabulous, 19th century, turkey red children’s handkerchief. UNUSED, with a penciled number on it. This antique hanky has a period motif of 2 girls and a boy playing a game. It reads, “Shut your eyes and open your mouth and see what the King will send you”. I researched this quote and it comes originally from Aristophanes, a Greek poet, 448 BC! The word King replaced Zeus. In each corner there is a greyhound dog, horse, stag and steer.
All cotton, it measures 10 & 1/8″ by 11 & 1/8″. Condition: Unused, with light penciled numbers showing. There are a few, light, age spots, which can be seen in the close ups. I’ve shown a factory flaw in the fabric, too. Excellent, red color!
PRICE: $ 85.00
