Friendship + Remember Me, Pair of Early Punch Paper Embroideries on Ribbon brass letter opener hand-painted pink face

hand-painted pink face

with its speckles all over together with veins in the alabaster showing through making it extremely believable if not all that appetizing

I first grabbed this sharpening stone because I just loved the box in which it is set

There's an old thread still attached to the loop at top

Friendship + Remember Me, Pair of Early Punch Paper Embroideries on Ribbon brass letter opener hand-painted pink faceTwo more 19th c. punch paper embroideries on ribbons, one of them marked "1814," I presume the date of its making, though hard to know for certain. Found together and I think quite apt as a pair, so I offer them up as such. Friendship: 7 5 8 x 1 1 16 overall. Remember Me: 7 1 4 x 1 1 16. Some wear to the pink ribbon of friendship but both embroideries in very good condition.
