Antq. 1814 Chester Co. PA Show Towel w/Provenance

For sale is an antique show towel that I acquired in Pennsylvania some time back, and that I'm fairly certain was made there as well. I researched the name "Anna Histand", and found information indicating that she was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1799, along with other information about her background, which I will include with the show towel. The main design is an embroidered bird tree with the date of 1814 above, and crowns in the top corners. When I saw the crowns, I thought the piece might be English, but after researching the name, I'm fairly confident that it is from Chester County. Other embroidered images include the initials "A H" flanking the bird tree, as well as flowers or something similar below the initials, and the name at the bottom, flanked by 8-point stars. In addition, small crocheted trees flank the date, and there is a crocheted panel that depict trees, I believe with fringe at the bottom. The show towel measures about 41" long and 13" wide, and is in superb condition, with no holes, rips, repairs, and just one small light stain on the top edge. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions, or for additional photos.

It was made by Patty Spaulding, and comes from the collection of Betty Burgess in Truemanville, Nova Sotia, Canada as documented on the back. I am not sure if it is a Canadian sampler, but I suppose that it could be. It could also be from Pennsylvania, but again, I just don't know. It is completed with cotton or possibly wool thread on what I believe is homespun, and depicts the alphabet twice, in one set using double sets of letters (AA,BB, etc.) as well as other names and initials. In addition there are images of rooster, hen, trees, fruit baskets, dogs, and a large very stylized tulip, as well as other images. It is housed in simple, but appropriate frame, and measures about 17 3/4" x 9 3/8", with sight measurements of 15 5/8" x 7 1/4". The piece is in nice antique condition, with overall toning, and a few missing stitches, but it displays very well. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions, or for additional photos.

For sale is a very sweet antique drawstring seed, or possibly button bag that I acquired from a seller in New York state.

I think that the drawstring is a shoelace, and the bag measures about 15" long and 7 1/4" wide, and is in nice antique condition, with some minor light brown staining on one side, and a couple of tiny black spots on the other, which might have been in the making of the fabric, although I don't know for sure.

Lg. Antq. PA Primitive Cutlery Box w/Heart Handle

For sale is an antique 19th century knife/cutlery box, or possibly garden tote that I found in Pennsylvania, and that I'm certain was made there as well. It has nice form, with an elongated heart cutout handle, hand dovetailing and hand cut nail construction, but is unusual because the corners on one side are not the same as on the others. I am unsure if it was made that way, or that the corners on one side broke off sometime long ago, because the patina is the same throughout the box. The piece is a generous size, and measures about 16 1/2" long, 12" wide, and 8" tall from the middle part of the handle. It is in nice antique condition, with a dark aged patina, appropriate oxidation around the nails, and some very tight and stable cracks that aren't very noticeable, and don't compromise the integrity of the piece. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions, or for additional photos.

Antique Silk on Linen Sampler w/House, Tulips+++

For sale is a naive antique, likely early to mid 19th century, unframed silk on linen sampler. I think that it is American, although I can't verify that so it could be English.

Below is a large urn of tulips, flanked by baskets or possibly urns that have single stem flowers, as well as 2 more urns of flowers, tiny trees, what look like very stylized single tulips, and 2 tiny what I believe are rabbits. The tiny trees and rabbits are a tan/light brown on the left, and almost the same color as the linen on the right, which makes them almost blend in. There is a triangular border, and the same design divides the piece approximately in half. In addition, the sampler has been sewn onto an ecru cotton backing. The sampler measures about 20 3/4" x 15 1/2", and is in nice antique condition, with light toning, and holes in the corners, as well as 2 others in the middle on the right which aren't noticeable because of the fabric backing.

Rare Antq. Tin Sun/Flower Quilt Template w/Handle

For sale is what I believe is a rare tinquilt template in the form of a sun or possibly a flower that I acquired in Illinois.

The handle is soldered onto a round disc, which is in turn, soldered to the design. The piece measures about 5 1/4" in diameter and 2 5/8" long including the handle. It is in nice antique condition, with a dark aged patina, but no significant issues. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions, or for additional photos.

Huge 14" Antique Folk Art Hunter Cookie Cutter

For sale is a rare and huge antique primitive folk art tin cookie cutter that has been in my collection for a while. I think that it may be German, although I'm not positive, and it depicts a hunter. In addition, on the back there is the number "3460'. It measures about 14" tall, 5" wide elbow to elbow, and the cutting edge is about 1". The piece is in very nice antique condition, with an aged patina, but no loose solder or other issues. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions.
