<p>[QUOTE="popsycat, post: 883239, member: 1904"]Butterfly wing trays and plaques were staple items brought back by merchant seamen many years ago. I could walk into a house and seeing one of those would ask "was there a seaman in your family"? Quite often people were suprised I could suss that out. Brightly coloured souvenir cushion covers were another clue, usually from North Africa.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
