{ duck, duck....Goose??? }

~ Good Morning Friends & Folk ~

and what a beautiful morning it is! we have had thee best weather lately...
I hope you've enjoyed some nice weather in your area too!

 

I have to share this with you:

tiny little brass clips made into duck or geese heads....

Peter's cousin Charlie brought over an old, OLD jar of buttons for me ~

(he's got my number, ya know? ha!)

and

this was in the bottom....

 

 

quack! or honk!

there is a patent date on the undersides of both heads

which reads

"PAT. NOV. 8 1894"
(with the "N" being backwards, ...which i think is utterly charming)

 



the clips/heads are fasted to a length of what I think was cotton fabric covered elastic ~

which has turned dry & brittle from age and/or use...

 



 

 the length from bill to bill, or end to end measures approx. 5 inches, with the fabric width being approx. 1/2 inch wide....

 

 

...does anyone know what the purpose for this little clip was used for?

of course to me, they resemble the sweater-clips we used back in the 40's through the 60's ~

then we also used clips on the backs of our shirts in the 80's
(don't ask, the 80's were just weird.)

so please give me your insight?

 

I'll do some research to see if i can find anything, and if I do ~

you'll be the second to know!

 

our sincerest THANKS to all who supported our new items that were released last night~

I do have 1 more cross stitch design that should be ready today, and I'll release that one asap.
I know you'll love it!

 

have a beautiful day my friends ~
