This is a very nice punched paper sampler dated 1850. The sampler has four alphabets (three upper-case and one lower-case) in different letter styles. The numbers 1-7 are also present. The sampler says "Matilda D Poole Aged 14 Years Ripley Sept 18 1850". The name "Sarah" is on the lower left side. There are birds, a red house, and a small black cat. There are also red flowers along the outer edge of the sampler. The colors are red and green, and are still very good. The sampler is in a nice wood tray frame and is ready for hanging. The sampler shows typical signs of age - there are light water or age stains at the corners, and there are two pieces missing at the lower right side. The age of the frame is not known, but it also shows some signs of wear. There are a few light scratches on the glass, and scuff marks plus a few small chips on the edges of the wood. The outer edge of the frame measures 11.5" x 15", not including the handles. Any of the white areas seen in the photos are due to the camera flash. Overall this is a very nice sampler!
