    Thanks, Ineke! Most of them belonged to my father, which puts their age at about 70. Lots of letters have gone through those nibs.

    Now wouldn't that be a new Daily Art project for 2013? 13 thirteens for thirteen - what - weeks, months?

    10 cents for a package of rick-rack? You sure had that one a long time.

    I am pretty sure my sewing studio contains at least one of those trims.

    Norma -- just having 100% cotton rickrack shows that it goes back a long time. (I think I got the 10 cent package out of some dead person's stash)

    Leigh -- your stash must go back a long time too! I'm sure all those trims were bought in the 60s and 70s
