Dear Antique 1857 Book Form Pin Keep w/Note

Price: REDUCED 85 including shipping and insurance

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a very dear antique handmade book form pin keep that I acquired in Pennsylvania that has a note about who made it and the year of 1857. It looks like it says "Grennmother Knapp, Dress 1857" written in sepia ink, with the name "Lois Clark Knapp" written below in pencil, probably at a later date. The pin keep is made of a fabulous blue and brown print fabric, with green satin ribbons on one side, as well as layers of felt on the interior for holding pins and needles. It measures about 4" long including the ribbon and 2" wide, and is in nice antique condition, with signs of age, but no significant issues. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
