33 VINTAGE ESTATE HAND EDGED LACE, 1940-60s. MANY TATTED!!! No repros

Description

This is a group of 33 handkerchiefs most of them live in their cotton. About a third of them are hand tatted. Rarely found today but these are from the 1940s through 1960s. These were from the estate of a teacher who taught 40 years. As I stated in my last hanky group they’re not used a lot of them have tags they will need to be laundered after 6070 years but they’re in great shape. She got them I am sure as gifts from her children that she taught over 40 years. I originally bought 350 of them. They are beautiful the handmade laces are beautiful they are some hand embroidered some have original tags but it’s about 1/3 of them are hand tatted. Very rare lacemaking technique that is almost dead. I’d love to know how to tack today. It’s made with a shuttlecock by hand and just absolutely beautiful I don’t think these were ever used or laundered as I stated they were never used because she had so many of them from the gifts of children. Thank you
