I was going to say that I'll happily buy them for you and even sort out the posting, but I just realised that they're located in Haddonfield, New Jersey, United States, so I must have missed something ??

Oh man, I just checked this and saw the auction ended so then I checked and hosman bought it! Hallelujah, I thought someone else snuck in there and snatched 'her' fabric.

Muahaha (evil laughter), they're all mine!  :D
The seller said I got lucky because someone snatched them up (in person) but had too much stuff in their hands and put them back. I plan on selling the one with the sides cut off, I know I can get a minimum of $60 once I list it properly, as a 1780's piece. It actually looks like it may be closer the 1770's. Then, I will have gotten mine for free. Plus a little! And free is always good. :)

Here's a few examples from that time period that my lady is selling.
This one is very faded. The colors on mine are still very dark and clear.

Oh I just love them. I love displaying them. I only buy red, white and blue ones (pretty much the only colors used in France before 1800) and have a very particular taste. I'm always amazed at the shape they are in after over 200 years and holding them takes me back in time. Those pieces are small, but I like them just the same. :)

Well, I listed one of these on ebay, here's to hoping I get at least 30-something bucks so I feel like I got a good buy!  ;)
