~~~~~~~~~~

Wonderful  fan used for advertising around the turn of 1900 !

Fan is in amazing condition for being over 100-120 years old.

No rips, tears, stains, breakage.  Fully functional ladies fan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

String and tassle tied to hinge area.

 String material shows some slight age with very light brown stain.  This, I believe, was from the 

brown color of the fan.  This item has been closed up in the box for 100 years.   

I do not believe it was ever used....no signs of use that I can see.

I believe it was always kept as a keepsake.

Advertizement on one side and a beautiful depiction of scenery on the other

Scene is Asian in nature and is in light green and white on a light coffee-colored background. See pictures for details.

This fan comes with the original box which is in pristine condition.

This is from the estate of a family member. It was in that home for over 75 years that I know of.

It has been in my clean smoke-free and pet-free home only for the last 25 years. 

Beautiful!
