Schoolgirl Sampler on Linen Dated 1845 Horse & Dog
Wonderful dated schoolgirl embroidered sampler, wool on linen, “Martha Gaskills Work 1845” (the 4 is stitched backwards). In fabulous condition, measures in the frame approximately 18” tall by 19 1/2” wide. Very heavy period frame with lemon gold liner. The backing has old paper. I see a bit of common “toning” to a few areas on the linen, but no stains or missing stitches. I do note one very tiny thread break in the linen, towards the top of sampler, at frame center edge. Hard to see and mentioning for sake of accuracy. Found recently in the Hamptons, Long Island, New York. The girl in a blue dress, riding a horse, with a dog running behind; the floral border on three sides of the center motif. A very charming and uncommon original, design. Great colors and amazing condition. $1,350 + ship from 04002. Check or PayPal.

RARE 14K Gold Topped Strawberry Sewing Emery
Not something you see every day, a solid 14k yellow gold topped, strawberry sewing emery, on its original silk cord. It is marked 14k and also numbered “X1061.” There is an impressed “anchor” mark, as well. On one of the gold strawberry petals, an early scripted monogram has been engraved, I believe it reads “JMB.” It is sooo fancy, I could be wrong on the initials. This emery measures approximately 1 3/4” long, not counting the silk cord. There is a gold jump ring attached to the gold cap and this strawberry could be worn on a chain/necklace. I can’t give a weight on the amount of gold but it is solid, very well made and in excellent vintage condition. A must have for any early sewing collection! $695 + $10 ship. PayPal or check.

19th C. Bisque Dollhouse Doll Greiner Hair-do
Measuring only 3 1/4” long, this bisque doll house doll has a blonde, Greiner hairdo and wears her original clothes. Complete with a cotton slip and pantaloons that are trimmed in lace, and her maroon silk dress has a train and she would’ve had a bustle. The vest that she wears is a tweed type wool. Her sleeves are puffy, intact, and are silk. I see slight wear to the silk, but amazingly, no holes or breaks to the fabrics. She also wears a little silk red cravat at her neck. Her limbs are also bisque and there are no breaks or chips. She is a fabulous survivor, found in Maine , and would be worthy of anybody’s early doll collection. $65 + $7 ship. PayPal or check.
