Super Rare Antique 19th Century Victorian 1884 Embroidery School Tote Purse Bag. Absolutely a crazy find! We found this in a lot of original samples from embroidery school. This is a purse/tote made out of a potato/rice/some sort of sack. One side has “‘1884″ stitched with a frame around it. The red trom 1884 nas bleed around the stitches. Other side has initials on the back, i can read possibly S/D. Pretty torn and beat up, which is expected for the age, what you see is what you get.
