Large Pink & Blue Cotton Cross. Paper, Tinsel, Scraps, Gold Dresden Stars. Home-crafted Ornament

Early 1900s, Pre-World War I Ornament, or possibly before, home-crafted.

Many collectors refer to these ornaments as Pennsylvania Homemade Ornaments, as there were countless patterns in early ladies magazines which the Germans followed the directions, sometimes even patterns were published, and assembled that at home as paper was so very popular in the early decorating as well as edibles. These were assembled at home using materials they purchased... materials made in Germany... scraps, silver tinsel, little gold and silver stars, silver and gold paper, and the list goes on and on. Almost anything was possible to appear on these ornaments, even advertising paper cut out from magazines and trade cards.

Black heavy paper backing, and hand-stitched with white thread as you can see on the back.


Pink cotton, with puff of blue cotton in middle of cross.

Outlined with silver tinsel wire.

Gold Dresden Stars, along with red and green paper Dresden stars.

A large and outstanding home-crafted ornament.


5.75 by 10.75\" and in very good condition.

I start all my sales at .99 cents as it is an sale and I just never cared when I went to live sale and thesaleeer started very high, and then spent time backing down to get a offer. I know it is a low offer, but that is how I list every item on .
