<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 17103, member: 111"]Given that the this one and the one on the link appear to have the same shape, fabric and binding, as well as the painted branch, wing and tail colors, it was probably a pre-stamped item. Took a few minutes to look through some old needlework catalogs, didn't find this pattern or even mention of button-bags, but to my eye, it looks very similar to section of a larger owl design from J.F. Ingalls. The first two pics below were from an 1886 catalog of stamping patterns, but they advertised their 'Fancy Work' catalogs at least into the 1910s - the little whisk-broom holder is from an 1887 Ingalls catalog, sold pre-stamped and assembled, looks to have similar binding.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]4223[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]4224[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]4225[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
