Been a little while since I freshened up this thread even though I did add a couple of ring bats, lemon peel balls, and a great 1860s CDV throughout 2017.
This is my first pick up of 2018...
A great example of an 1860s/1870s era figure 8 style ball...the kind of example that bridges the lemon peel- fig 8 style models.
The ball features that great, small, very tight stitching and coloration expected of the time...not toned, but actually brown.
Anybody else have any new 19th C. finds to share??
Happy New Year to all,
Jon
