ALL BUYERS...you will only pay the TRACKED shipping ONCE if you WAIT for my combined invoice if its a similar weight and destination...Also the new estimated time of arrival of your item is out of their control and they have as much to know about that as they do on the NASA SPACE programme or delays at any of the postal services around the world....they can be delayed for any number of reasons which is out of my - your - control so I do ask that you do not hold me responsible when leaving response or DSR ratings. Please check the postal DATE mark on the package when you get it.
Here is a Georgian period hand made delicate miniature SAMPLER .... made from silk threads... as you can see it has a pretty curved edge in blue ...then a cream inner band and a cream background on which is a vase of flowers......the colours have faded somewhat and I can see brown, reds, fawn, beige and green.
This one is not dated and it has not got any initials on it... but please be assured it is still of the Georgian period..... it was in the back of a silver pair cased pocket watch with a date of 1786.
A pair cased pocket watch has an outer case.. these fit in that case so the back of the actual silver pocket watch does not scratch on the outer case... it makes a snug fit....this is where you find the pocket watch \"endpapers\" too when they get mended.
These miniature samplers were made by wives and girlfriends so as a reminder of them whilst trravelling etc... a LOVE TOKEN.
It is 1 and 3/4 inch dia. See close up pictures for more details and condition.
See the photographs which enlarge.

Please see close up pictures for more detail.

The item(s) are shown next to an English 1 penny which is 20mm dia for scale.

Conversion ... approx... 2.5cm = 25mm = 1 inch
