This past summer I was able to go through similar pieces that my great-grandmother owned.<BR/><BR/>I also found a chatelaine purse that she would carry for fancy parties. It was a thin gold box like a cigarette box, with her initials on the front. Suspended from a chain handle, when opened it had a small mirror, an area to hold coins, a small square door for blush powder, and an ivory tablet and pencil.<BR/><BR/>Grandma said that as a young girl, when she went to a dance, she would write down the names of boys who asked her to dance on the tablet - hence, her "dance card." Full all the time - she was a looker at 6 feet tall and striking auburn hair!Thomas MacEnteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925130637060406529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-49466331252751714562007-11-19T20:19:00.000-05:002007-11-19T20:19:00.000-05:00Apple,You really should take the time to "tag" eac...Apple,<BR/><BR/>You really should take the time to "tag" each of those time pieces, identifying where they came from. I just completed that project recently, and donated one of them to a local historical society.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed your story...<BR/><BR/>JaniceJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476918537317701594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-53774940458086082092007-11-18T14:34:00.000-05:002007-11-18T14:34:00.000-05:00These are beautiful, Apple!
