Re: [lace] Bucks Point-Hallowell, Maine

[Karen Thompson]

I am not sure Jeri's pillow belonged to Mrs. Lakeman. There could have been
other lace makers in Hallowell. Moreover, Jeri's pillow from Hallowell is
much larger than any pillow I have seen from the era of the Ipswich lace
industry. The prickings I have seen from the late 1700s at the Ipswich
Museum are about 30 in or 77 cm long to fit around the Ipswich bolster
pillow. See
http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_645070 or the
last object on the webpage for the Smithsonian lace collection.

Not to argue with the general premise that Mrs. Lakeman was entitled to make
point ground on a Ipswich pillow. But she must have had two pillows because
Jeri acquired hers in Hallowell, Maine. Inquiring minds want to know more
about this. It can’t be a co-incidence.
