Pastels back then -


While cleaning out a nook or a cranny I came upon this box of antique art-making stuff.
Have not taken the time to research the exact era, but I'm guessing 1930's?
(Oops, was I wrong - According to CrayonCollecting.com these little beauties were made only from 1905 to 1909!)


Although these pastel crayons are "for every use" I haven't had the heart to put one to use. They have survived this long - and they will a little longer.


These muted colors will never give the Terry Ludwig Dark collection a run for the money, but I hope that their original owner made some lovely work. On to making ours!

Fare-thee-well,
Sue
