A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: Excellent Irish Crochet Purse. It is a little bag in the style of Irish Crochet. I found this in a second-hand store in the City of Pasadena, California, many years ago when the city went through a renascence and restored many old buildings to their best. Those were the years when I was able to find the finest easily. I am not sure. I want to think it is a First Holy Communion bag to hold a girl's first payer book.

Condition

Fair; some unraveling around the border.
