Hope you enjoyed seeing these conversationals. I suspect most are from US manufacturers in the 1880s and 1890s (I know a few are from American Print Works of MA in 1885). I really love the quilt top! Goes very nicely with my 19th century sailors 'blouse' and fabric swatches and, be still my heart, fabric--1/2 yard of fabric from my dear friend Wendy:
Best sports conversational ever! Golf club, cricket bat, polo mallet, tennis or badmitton racket and another golf club or maybe hockey, or lacrosse or .....?
