<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 27645, member: 23"]Although photos online can sometimes be deceiving, it does look like the blue rings were a later addition. Seeing the inside, and as you said, it looks like a drawstring once went through the top of the bag. From this perspective, the inside fabric looks older than the outside. Is it possible someone took an older lining and used it for a newer (1950-60) bag? There really looks like a big difference to me and I come from a line of needleworkers and used to do a lot of my own. Check the color and thickness of the tiny thread on the inner bag vs. the cross stitch, for instance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
