<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 329812, member: 23"]I don't think handkerchiefs. My mother had many and they were usually in larger, thin boxes. 3"x4" is tiny. Plus the glass. Back in the 40s & 50s when she and my Dad had their second hand store, you could still buy up house lots when someone passed away or moved relatively cheaply and make money. Any detritus left over after my Dad sold the big pieces of furniture and china and glass, my mother would pick over like a magpie and keep all sorts of weird, but sometimes interesting, stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
