<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 278651, member: 59&quot;]Not saying yours is guaranteed to be as old, but I have my 2X great grandmother&#039;s sampler, finished in 1857 when she was 9. I can&#039;t vouch for how previous family members cared for it, but my mom always had it hung on a wall where the sun would not hit it (and I currently have it in an alcove off my bedroom with no windows facing the sun. Most of the colors are still good. </p><p><br /></p><p>The fabric of yours is more closely woven than mine, which could mean that it is somewhat less old.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously the fact that it was not finished would affect it&#039;s appeal to buyers, but it&#039;s interesting that it has 2 names and not just the usual 1. That card board back is a menace. </p><p><br /></p><p>Can we get straight on views of the upper lines to see how well the stitching has held up?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
