Yes, I would say it's machine made lace. There were lots of attractive machine laces in the early 20th century. Some of the little details in the pattern/construction are not true to handmade bobbin lace. Some of the work on the hat could have been done by hand, but the lace itself was not. Alice in Oregon--where I'm waiting for roads to melt to go to a lace gathering in the next town. I'm still driving one-handed though I'm gaining motion and strength in my left hand, slowly. Can do a few stitches before hand hurts. Looking forward to OIDFA.
