1894 Van Hornesville, NY First Annual Odd Fellows Ball Invitation Flores Imperio candleholders Some foxing on the backside

Some foxing on the backside of the second one

and this one has a lovely softness about it

as it was definitely made to stand up to heavy play

British I believe and I'd guess made of boxwood

I've divided them into a few pairs

With three gold links from which that blue banner hangs. Looks like silkscreen to me, printed on the face of an invitation to the First Annual Ball of the the Van Hornesville (NY) Lodge, 1894 to which "yourself and ladies" were invited! 5" x 3 1 2" closed. Dramatic toning to the front, which I like.
