<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 272003, member: 121&quot;]First things first - this is in awful condition..............faded and worn, and probably musty/tobacco smelling&nbsp; - its been hanging around one house or another for as long as I can remember (and that is a LONG time).</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears to be machine embroidered silk ribbons/tags, each approx. 1.5&quot; by 2.5&quot;, sewn to one side of a plain (dingy) cotton fabric (measures about 15&quot; square), the back of the slip is blank. The ribbons have no common theme (except that I THINK they originally came wrapped around cigars). A quick sampling: Boston Coll, Argentine Republic, Knights of Malta, Trinity (possible my Da got this while attending), Order of Black Eagle, Bucknell, Star of India, et al. There are a few duplicates. Some are so faded that they are unreadable (at least by MY eyes). And as noted, some are just worn out (note top row, extreme left and one missing entirely in the second row down). </p><p><br /></p><p>Free First Class Parcel shipping within the US (International winners/wanters to pay actual shipping less domestic shipping amount). I&#039;ll hold it until Wednesday, then either do the hat thing or toss it if no one has asked for it................</p><p><br /></p><p>PS I have never even attempted to research this thing............</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]86106[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]86107[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]86108[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]86109[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]86110[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]86111[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
