And even if someone could produce a receipt for the purchase of an item, insurers would not necessarily take that as proof of its value. Does anyone have any information about sales of similar items? In fact, Sheila and John Mason bought the Battle of Britain panel at auction. It is insured for a rather hefty amount and their insurance company has very particular guidelines about how the property must be guarded which were all followed to the letter in New York. I have heard that there was a documentary about Quaker Lace tablecloths from which the $30,000 was quoted, but have been unable to find out anything else about it. I e-mailed Quaker Lace and received no reply. I have to assume that machine made lace is changing hands just like bakelite plastic, baseball cards and sardine labels, to name but a few things collected by my acquaintences. But I only seem to know of people who deal in handmade lace. Devon
