    That's crazy. As old as it is, it might just fall apart when you tried to use it. I had several quilt tops my grandmother had pieced. I saved them carefully in tissue paper, but when I tried to quilt one, the material had simply rotted and fell apart.

    I know a lot of my fabric is vintage because I have had some of it so long. If I thought I could get that for it I would sell it. LOL

    Sell them as PT Barnum original fabrics, Nannya54 :)
    Could be the wording of your ad, have you got vintage and cotton in the header?

    I do have Vintage in the header but not cotton. Are they PT Barnum fabrics? I've never heard of that. I don't think it came up when I asked if anyone knew how old they were. We were just going by the JC Penney ticket priced $.28 attached to one of them.

    the "brand new" statement refers to the CONDITION of the item. it is stated incorrectly as "undamaged"=new get it?

    the seller at least states in another area that there is "yellowing" which =it is NOT new......

    would be buyers need to READ the ENTIRE listing......

    Well this is certainly an interesting thread to start reading first thing off in the morning. Some people on Ebay are totally nuts! This is one of them. Thank you all for your humorous responses to this.

    Goes to show that some people think old translates into big bucks. I just say it is over-priced and ugly.
