Pictured here is an antique 1896 quilt section, hand-sewn and now professionally framed under glass. Center image depicts the 1896 slogan “Protection, Prosperity, Sound Money” for the United States Presidential election, with portraits of winning Republican William McKinley and Garrett Hobart depicted. Unusual and one-of-a-kind historical piece.

Was somewhat difficult to photograph under glass; white areas on sides are camera reflections and NOT indicative of any discoloration or fading; condition is excellent.

Measures 22″ x 22″
Cross stitch sewn assorted cloth pieces surround the center portraits
Wonderful piece of Americana history, interesting design.
Excellent overall condition with a few pieces showing some spots but wonderful on display.
Wooden bamboo motif professional frame, ready to hang.

This lovely and impressive piece is available in our ebay store connectibles.

Pictured here is a Ghostown Custom Buck 110 X Knife 25th Anniversary Edition. Buck’s Famous Folding Hunter: 1963 – 1988. This knife is not new, but as can be seen from the photographs it is in very good condition. The figure on the sides of the knife looks like a lion – a perfect gift for a “Leo” knife collector.

From information I could find online, the custom designer – “Ghostown” lives in Arizona and makes custom handles for Buck Knifes. I cannot attest to the materials used in the handle (other than the Turquoise) all the material I read indicated that precious metals are used in the customization.

The top of the handle has “Ghostown” inscribed as well as a code number that I believe is a date “079-90”. The “X” after the 110 on the blade indicates the Buck Knife was made in 1990. Please look at our ebay store connectibles for this and other knifes.
