oops, to suzy, sent this to you privately and meant to include the lace list:
This is like the story of the 6 blind philosphers trying to identify by feel a particular strange beast (it was an elephant) - so many interesting opinions. I sent the link of the picture of the lace to a collector pal of mine. Her reaction: "Yes, this is fantastic lace! I would date it somewhat later, like early 20th C, and note that it's construction is somewhat similar to a guipure pattern I found (1910-20). I think it is likely Belgian."

Maybe someone in Israel used to have this lace, but they bought it in Europe ~ -- bye for now Bev, getting used to a new e-mail system in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins: www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
