whatever there ever was is long bought up. museums own a lot of them, too. the rest are in private collections. they go for big bucks in almost any condition and mostly get repaired either professionally or by the new owner if she's a quilter who knows how. imo, because it's so cold here, they were used up by the time they were available commercially and women stopped making them. that's my own opinion, but i do know that factories flourished early.
factrories like this began to eliminate the works of hand-made quilt makers. so the early 20's, 30's, 40's. etc. are hard to find here. also, there were better-paying jobs here and women could afford to buy them more easily. they stopped valuing them. what a pity, right?

this one is especially interesting - 1850. you can see why they are few and far between.
