Antique Tobacco Silks Quilt Cigarette Silks 35 Actresses Printed Autographs

Description

Up for BIN or Best offer is a beautiful antique tobacco silks (or cigarette silks) quilt featuring film star actresses from the early
1900's. Tobacco silks were individually put into cigarette packs and collected. Sometimes people would sew them together
and make quilts, pillowcases, and other items from their collection. I collected these for awhile and have enjoyed them, but
now it is time for someone else to, so I am listing them today. Please see my other items if you would like to see what I have
available.
This quilt measures 18 1/2" long x 19" high. There are 35 silks with pictures of actresses as well as their autograph printed
under their picture. There may be more than one of the same gal. Quilt is machine sewn with a red silk border separating the
silks, and is "melting". All actresses are ok except for 2 which are coming apart.
This item is very, very old and shows it's age in places. Please see the photographs for more detail as they are part of the
description. Thank you for looking!
