<p>[QUOTE="Christmasjoy, post: 260467, member: 164"]I wouldn't know an actual 'name' for them, but could be described as 'old draft screen for baby cradle'). Homes had no central heating way back then and were often very drafty .. older girl children would wear cotton frilled hats on their heads at night, boys wore woolen caps .. all to keep the draft off their heads. That's about all I know about them .. there was an old one knocking around in my Grans house in England, the fabric was tattered, she had 6 children so it got loads of use, Okay, I'm rattling on again, sorry, .. Joy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
