Two 2" metal rings, not packaged.

The 4" ring has a rough finish and is discolored. The loose 2" rings feel rough. Looks like they had brass plating that is wearing off. The 3" ring is still packaged and I don`t know about the finish. The packaged 2" rings are a little rough, the silver colored plating looks good.
All in very good condition.

Vintage Blue Gingham Apron With Embroiderey

This is an interesting apron. It is made with wonderful vintage blue gingham and hand embroidered with red cross stitch figures, saguaro cactus between each. I have no idea what the figures are. There is a small yellow area that can be seen in natural light just above the cactus on the right hand side of the skirt. Hard to see in the folds of ths skirt. I have tried to show the area in two pictures. No other stains and no tears or holes. This fabric is woven gingham with a lovely hand that only true vintage gingham has. The waistband and ties are a generous 52". The length is 18" and the skirt is 27" wide. The waist is generously gathered. This apron is in very good condition.
