look what i found in the trash there are 4 of these blocks and i am almost sure they are pre-1940 in the box i got there were several pieces of very very old lace and crocheted dollies and 6 hand finished vintage pillow forms the crochet is as old as 1930 i have crocheted since i was 5 and i reconized the style of the late 20's and 30's much of it is in very poor condition( it wasnt stored correctly)
