Finely Hand Crocheted Drawstring Pouch antique printing block The piece is in excellentI know from the seller that this very finely crocheted bag came out of an old estate in Pennsylvania, and though it is in near perfect condition, I am pretty certain it is 100 years old or so, and definitely it was all hand done. I think the colors and patterning as well as the shape of it, with pointy tip at the bottom are just terrific, plus that pink border with tiny knots along the top. With a nice long drawstring, I believe original to it, too.
