Friendship + Remember Me, Pair of Early Punch Paper Embroideries on Ribbon brass letter opener There's an old thread still

There's an old thread still attached to the loop at top

I first grabbed this sharpening stone because I just loved the box in which it is set

and a few small tears along the top edge

and indeed this kitty is right up my alley

Friendship + Remember Me, Pair of Early Punch Paper Embroideries on Ribbon brass letter opener There's an old thread stillTwo more 19th c. punch paper embroideries on ribbons, one of them marked "1814," I presume the date of its making, though hard to know for certain. Found together and I think quite apt as a pair, so I offer them up as such. Friendship: 7 5 8 x 1 1 16 overall. Remember Me: 7 1 4 x 1 1 16. Some wear to the pink ribbon of friendship but both embroideries in very good condition.
