ABOUT:

A note about all the childrenā€™s hankies Im listing today: Everytime I buy a hanky collection, thereā€™s always 1-2 kidā€™s hankies. I toss them in a box and when the box is full, I list them all in what I thought would be an annual event (similar to the event I have during the holidays when I list all the designer hankies Ive amassed that year)- well, it took about 3-4 years to fill the box!


They are all to be considered ā€œHankies from the Wildā€ā€” straight from Estate to auction- as found, literally, except I did press them so you can see the designs.


There are some really neat designs in this bunchā€”and thereā€™s a lot of them! Most date from 1930s-40ā€™s with a few older and younger. They also run between 6ā€-8ā€ square. Ive shown the ruler to give measurement. Mostly linen & cotton. Some with hand finished edges.


Condition:


As Found. Some with pinholes, moth holes, dingy centers from being loved so much, spots etc. Im going to let the pictures tell the story- so look at them carefully. Ive assigned a reasonable starting price to reflect this.


No offers will be considered so we can keep the fun of an auction.


Im also going to let the pictures show the measurements.



OK- now that Ive written about when, where, who and what about these tiny loveliesā€” itā€™s time to start the show!

Each is AS FOUND and SHOWN. (Unlaundered)


Freshly carefully Pressed!


Yes, we do combine ship. Simply win the auctions you with you purchase and when you go to pay, the invoice should be combined automatically. So wait until youā€™re done shopping before you hit pay now.


++++

For Lots, If you see an additional hanky in a lot, that means that one has a pinhole. You may find spots, but hopefully no holes! Get the hot water ready.


In these lots you may find hand embroidery, Swiss & Madeira embroidery, hand rolled edges, machine or special laces!

One of several batches Im listing today. The majority of my items are from various second hand sources.Ā  Please keep in mind that vintage items date back many years and should not be expected to be in pristine condition unless so noted. Some have been stored in sheds, attics, barns or garage rafters.Ā  Ā I don't always know if previous owner smoked or had pets.


I do my best to combat these issues however I live in the Deep South- in the country.


Shipped most economical rate.

DISCLAIMER:

The dreaded fine print: I LOVE selling hankies. I LOVE buying & cleaning hankies. I futz over them before listing. I am not perfect, and may miss something including a random pinhole et al.

Old things well, smell old especially if they aren't laundered. If you are sensitive to any kind of odors...sweet (I use scented soap & softener) or less than, please, I respectfully ask you accept this disclaimer or find another source to buy from.

I take great pride in what I offer...even then Olde Gals in age tanned, damaged or musty condition. They, like me, sometimes come with a few spots & wrinkles....but are So Cool...like my quirky favorite great Aunt Ruth was. My objective is to establish a relationship with my customers, not deceive anyone intentionally. Shipping companies do their own thing too. Be realistic when buying vintage goods & don't get carried away bidding.

Please come back and visit this space that I simply love. It's quiet here..peaceful. Inspirational. So, make a cup o'joe and spend a moment window shopping. thepottingshed is MY special collection of freshly picked soft goods since 1994. Get to know "me" by following me on Pinterest! (thepottingshedAntiques). We can swap some ideas!

I miss Aunt Ruth...
