Very Rare Pocket Watch Sampler 2 1/4"

A most unusual paper pocket watch sampler.This one is a scherensshnitte or a paper cutting.Paper pocket watch samplers rank in rareity after cloth samplers.A watch sampler was made by a beloved to be placed inside of the lid of her beloveds watch.Whenever he would open his watch,he would be reminded of his loved one.This sampler's design either has lost a strip of paper or never had one in the circle.There is foxing but no other damage.Will be shipped in a small modern frame or in cardboard,which ever seems safer.These watch samplers are usually English,but I have no provenance on it.I have never seen a sampler from scherenschnitte.Sampler has just been laid on top of a card.
