    I found this at a thrift store. I've seen these before but the note on the back telling what it was made me curious because the letters and/or paper it's typed on looked older to me.
    I tried looking up Far East Handiwork Co. but nothing came up, also making me think this is older
    Can anyone tell me anything about this?
    Is this old? Is there a way to tell?
    Looking up silk scroll the value/selling price is all over the map - what makes a good/valuable one?
    Thank you.

    It is not a scroll, it is a framed silk embroidery piece, sold as a souvenir. The subject is cute, but there is no great value.
    For prices, don't look for silk scrolls, but for "One Hundred Children" silk embroidery.

    It wasn't expensive ($9.95) - I only got it because of the note on back.
    Thank you Any Jewelry!
