This item recently sold on E-bay, it's in great condition for it's age. The gift box came with a little poem about tatting and included a nice shuttle. This shuttle was made by Inlaid Company of Providence, Rhode Island. It was sold in a catalogue. Carl Vilhelm Pohlson was a dealer in fine photography and picture frames and he established Pohlson's Galleries and Pohlson's House of Gifts on Pawtucket, RI in 1845. The gallery/gift shop carried various items. It appears that Pohlson's House of Gifts may have gone out business in the late 1930's. The above picture shows little blue sparrow was often on other items they sold in their catalogue.
