If it's _antique_ (1890ties), I'll eat whatever's necessary (don't have
many hats)... :) Looks very much like Eeva-Lisa Kortelahti, but I can't
pin-point the pattern, since I can't afford to have the entire canon of
her books.
Still... At 7" (18cm) wide, $35 a _yard_ is dirt cheap (it's definitely
hand-made lace, and nice with it, IMO).
The "per yard" price is, to me, "a red flag for the bull" - how much
_hand made_ lace is there - left, from 150+yrs ago - to be sold as
yardage today?
