1894 Van Hornesville, NY First Annual Odd Fellows Ball Invitation two-drawer chest Just a beautiful thing

Just a beautiful thing

cattails or tall grasses

I am pretty certain this antique Battersea enamel medallion once had a post with threaded end on the back

I know that these came from a farm estate in Bethel

This curious one

1894 Van Hornesville, NY First Annual Odd Fellows Ball Invitation two-drawer chest Just a beautiful thingHard to beat an all seeing eye, and I think the golden rays framing this one are especially good, as is the lettering on the banner hanging below it. With three gold links from which that blue banner hangs. Looks like silkscreen to me, printed on the face of an invitation to the First Annual Ball of the the Van Hornesville (NY) Lodge, 1894 to which "yourself and ladies" were invited! 5" x 3 1 2" closed. Dramatic toning to the front, which I like.
