Thank you Aurelia,
The frustration was with me and the computer trying to put a photo album up,
not the fansticks of the prospect of making lace for it.
I was hoping someone might have an idea of the sort of materials the sticks
might be made of as I have absolutely no idea.
I also think I must see about finding that book, is sounds very interesting.
I have now taken a couple of extra pictures of the fan open, so will upload
those now I wonder if that might help in checking out the time in history of
the fan.

Sue -- I've rescued quite a number of antique fans, saving and (gently)
cleaning the sticks and (eventually) discarding the worn-out fan-leaf.
Malvary's advice to you is right on target. Also, you would enjoy reading
Christine Springett's little book "Designing and Mounting Lace Fans,"
written quite a while ago, but still inspiring. Aurelia

Still the question is about the sticks, I bet there are lots of other
choices
but plastic, bone or ivory that I dont know about but one of you nice
people
do.
Many thanks
BTW the album is called Hurwitzend (which was exactly where I was at)
