Re: [lace] Honiton Thread label
Thanks to all who replied - I too think it's just Antique Thread 230. Very fine and would need a magnifier to work with!

A scan of the label is at http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/lace/honiton_label.jpg I know what I think it reads, but Patsy's not sure. Would anyone else care to offer their opinion.

Brenda and all, Thank you Brenda for posting the scan and your input on the label. Thank you to all who gave their opinions. I guess I'll agree with the majority that it says Antique Thread. Thank you very much. Patsy A. Goodman - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Patsy and Brenda Looks like 'Antique Thread 230' but then I may be wrong!

A scan of the label is at http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/lace/honiton_label.jpg Hm - I copied it into PaintshopPro - made it black and white and increased the shadows markedly. Now it certainly looks like the first bit says An - which would mean that the next word should start with a vowel. However, the only possibility with which I can come up would be ogre, and I'm sure that's not it. Now IF the first word is NOT An, it's final letter would seem to be the same as the initial letter in the 2nd word, viz. n. This 2nd word certainly does seem to end with re, but it' s the 2nd letter which has got me stumped. Can't think of any appropriate letter which descends below the line - g, y, j, p, q, I give up and am going to bed as I turned into a pumpkin hours ago David in Ballarat - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
